Caprolactam Price Fluctuation 2025: Price Index, Chart and Forecast
Caprolactam Prices
Caprolactam prices in the Midwest USA experienced notable year-on-year (YoY) declines in the last quarter of 2024, continuing a broader trend of market correction influenced by softening global demand and improved supply availability. According to pricing data, October 2024 saw Caprolactam prices at USD 1635/MT, down from USD 1815/MT in October 2023, representing a 9.9% decrease. The downward pressure intensified in November, with prices falling 15.8% YoY to USD 1515/MT, compared to USD 1800/MT the previous year. December marked the steepest decline, with prices dropping to USD 1535/MT, a 17.7% fall from USD 1865/MT in December 2023.

The primary drivers behind these price declines include a slowdown in downstream industries such as textiles and automotive, leading to reduced demand for nylon 6 - Caprolactam's major derivative. Additionally, ample inventory levels and sluggish global economic activity have contributed to bearish market sentiment.
Looking ahead, Expert Market Research predicts a more stable to firm pricing outlook for 2025. The forecast is underpinned by expectations of rising feedstock costs, particularly for benzene and cyclohexane, which could support cost-push inflation. Moreover, a gradual recovery in downstream sectors is anticipated, which may help stabilize Caprolactam demand and pricing.
Market participants should watch for fluctuations in crude oil prices, as well as changes in energy and raw material input costs, which could influence production economics. Environmental regulations and supply chain dynamics will also be key factors impacting the Caprolactam market in the upcoming year. Overall, while the latter part of 2024 reflected a bearish trend, 2025 may offer more balanced market conditions.
