Methanol Price Analysis and Regional Trend Nov 2025
Methanol Prices
In Africa, methanol prices increased to USD 0.35/KG in November 2025, rising 6.4% on stronger regional demand from fuel blending, formaldehyde, and chemical processing sectors. Limited local production and higher import costs also contributed to the upward movement. Tight logistics and currency fluctuations added additional pressure on pricing during the month.

Note: The analysis can be tailored to align with the customer's specific needs.
Northeast Asia Methanol Prices Movement Nov 2025
Methanol prices in Northeast Asia declined to USD 0.34/KG, marking a 6.1% drop due to weaker downstream demand from olefins and energy applications. Increased supply from domestic producers and reduced crude-linked cost support weighed on market sentiment. Softer manufacturing activity and stable inventories aggravated the downward price pressure in November 2025.
Europe Methanol Prices Movement Nov 2025
Europe recorded methanol prices at USD 0.63/KG, up 2.7% in November 2025, supported by stronger demand from formaldehyde, acetic acid, and fuel-related segments. Higher energy costs and reduced import availability added firmness to the market. Supply tightening from the Middle East and freight constraints contributed to the steady upward momentum.
South America Methanol Prices Movement Nov 2025
In South America, methanol prices rose slightly to USD 0.33/KG, showing a 0.8% increase driven by stable demand from biodiesel, chemical intermediates, and industrial solvents. Local production volatility and reliance on imported cargoes influenced spot pricing. Mild logistical delays and moderate consumption trends kept market sentiment cautiously firm.
Middle East Methanol Prices Movement Nov 2025
The Middle East saw methanol prices climb to USD 0.34/KG, increasing 4.4% amid strong export activity and steady downstream consumption. Reduced operating rates at select plants due to maintenance supported price gains. Improved crude oil sentiment and active regional trade further bolstered the methanol market in November 2025.
Southeast Asia Methanol Prices Movement Nov 2025
Southeast Asia reported methanol prices at USD 0.37/KG, down 2.1% as slow demand from derivatives like MTBE, acetic acid, and formaldehyde reduced buying interest. Oversupply in key markets, along with competitive imports from the Middle East and China, applied downward pressure, keeping prices weak through the month.
North America Methanol Prices Movement Nov 2025
North America witnessed methanol prices fall to USD 0.70/KG, a 2.8% decline due to improved supply conditions and moderated demand from energy and petrochemical sectors. Stable domestic production and lower natural gas costs reduced cost support. Softer export activity and inventory comfort contributed to the bearish price trend.

What is Methanol?
Methanol is a simple alcohol (CH3OH) widely used as an industrial chemical and energy carrier. It serves as a key feedstock in producing formaldehyde, acetic acid, MTBE, and olefins. Methanol is also used as a clean-burning fuel, a hydrogen carrier, and a renewable energy component in emerging low-carbon applications.
Factors Affecting Methanol Supply and Prices (Nov 2025)
1. Feedstock Costs (Natural Gas & Coal)
Methanol production is heavily dependent on natural gas and, in China, coal. Any fluctuations in energy prices directly influence production costs and market prices.
2. Plant Operating Rates & Maintenance Shutdowns
Turnarounds at major producing plants in the Middle East, China, and the Americas tighten supply, pushing prices upward. High operating rates soften prices.
3. Demand from Derivative Industries
Key downstream sectors-formaldehyde, olefins (MTO/MTP), MTBE, biodiesel, and solvents-shape price movement. High demand strengthens market sentiment.
4. Global Trade Flows & Freight Costs
Freight rates, container availability, and trade restrictions influence import-export dynamics. Higher logistical costs can lift methanol prices.
5. Crude Oil & Energy Market Trends
Methanol often correlates with broader petrochemical and energy market movements. Higher oil prices can raise methanol production and transportation costs.
6. Environmental Regulations
Policies promoting cleaner fuels boost methanol demand, while emission restrictions raise compliance costs, affecting production economics.
Methanol Price Index (Nov 2025)
The Methanol Index in November 2025 reflected mixed regional performance. Prices climbed in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and South America, driven by stable downstream demand and tighter supply. However, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and North America saw declines due to oversupply, softened consumption, and lower feedstock costs.
Methanol Market News (Nov 2025)
• Middle Eastern suppliers increased export volumes, supporting firm regional pricing.
• Northeast Asia reported weak MTO plant run rates, reducing methanol consumption.
• European producers faced high energy costs, supporting price premiums.
• Logistical disruptions in South America moderately tightened supply chains.
• North American inventory build-up tempered price support despite winter demand.
Methanol Market Trend Analysis (Nov 2025)
The global methanol market in November 2025 showed a balanced but regionally uneven trend. Regions with strong industrial demand and limited imports experienced upward price pressure, while areas with high inventory levels or weak petrochemical demand saw price corrections. Renewable methanol discussions and low-carbon projects also continued influencing long-term sentiment.
Current Demand for Methanol (Nov 2025)
1. Formaldehyde Production
The largest consumer sector maintained consistent demand for resins, laminates, MDF, and construction materials.
2. Olefins (MTO/MTP)
China's MTO plants operated at reduced rates, lowering methanol consumption regionally.
3. Fuel Applications
Growing use of methanol in gasoline blending, biodiesel, and marine fuel supported demand in the Middle East and South America.
4. Chemical Derivatives
Acetic acid, MTBE, MMA, and solvent manufacturing continued steady procurement.
5. Renewable Methanol Projects
Green methanol gained traction as shipping companies adopted low-carbon fuels.
Future Demand Outlook for Methanol (2026 and Beyond)
1. Expansion of Green & Bio-Methanol
Global decarbonization and shipping regulations are expected to increase demand for renewable methanol consumption.
2. Growth in MTO Capacity
Despite short-term weakness, China's long-term MTO expansion may increase methanol needs.
3. Rising Fuel-Blending Adoption
Energy transition policies will boost methanol's role in automotive and marine fuels.
4. Increasing Use in Hydrogen Economy
Methanol as a hydrogen carrier is projected to strengthen future demand.
5. Industrial Growth in Developing Economies
Emerging markets are expected to drive long-term consumption in formaldehyde, resins, and solvents.
