Monochloroacetic Acid (MCA) Price Trends and 2025 Outlook - CFR Far East Asia

The Monochloroacetic Acid (MCA) market in the Far East Asia region experienced a mix of price movements in 2024, reflecting fluctuating demand dynamics, regional supply variations, and broader economic influences. As an essential intermediate used in agrochemicals, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals, MCA's price is highly sensitive to changes in downstream consumption and feedstock availability.

In October 2024, the price stood at USD 524/MT, showing a 5% decline compared to USD 554/MT in October 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by oversupply in the region and weak industrial demand, particularly in the agrochemical and textile sectors, which are significant consumers of MCA. Producers faced rising inventories amid limited buying interest, exerting downward pressure on prices.

By November 2024, the market showed a slight recovery, with prices rising marginally to USD 476/MT, a 1% increase from USD 470/MT in November 2023. This modest uptick may be attributed to short-term restocking by end-users or a brief improvement in regional demand, though the overall sentiment remained subdued.

In December 2024, the price dropped again to USD 484/MT, down 5% year-on-year from USD 510/MT in December 2023. The price weakness toward year-end reflected persistent supply-demand imbalances, with capacity expansions in some Asian markets further intensifying the oversupply situation.

Looking ahead to 2025, Expert Market Research anticipates continued price pressure, citing weak industrial demand and ongoing oversupply as key factors. Unless there is a significant revival in downstream sectors-particularly agrochemicals or specialty chemicals-the MCA market is likely to remain soft in the near term. Stakeholders should monitor feedstock trends and capacity developments to better navigate potential pricing shifts in 2025.
