Naphtha Prices, Latest Trend, Demand, Index & Uses Nov 2025

Northeast Asia Prices Movement Nov 2025

In November 2025, naphtha prices in Northeast Asia stood at 1.05 USD/KG, reflecting a 2.2% decline. The downturn was driven by softer upstream crude values and reduced petrochemical cracker demand. Regional refiners operated steadily, but subdued purchasing from olefin producers and ample spot availability continued to pressure market sentiment and pricing levels.

What is Naphtha?

Naphtha is a highly versatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture derived from crude oil refining and natural gas processing. It serves as a key feedstock for petrochemical production-especially for steam crackers producing ethylene and propylene. Naphtha is also used in gasoline blending, solvents, and various industrial processes due to its wide boiling range and reactivity.

Factors Affecting Naphtha Supply and Prices

Naphtha supply and pricing depend on multiple interconnected factors. Crude oil values remain the primary driver, as naphtha is a direct derivative of crude refining. Regional refinery operation rates, petrochemical cracker demand, and gasoline blending requirements also influence availability. Freight costs, geopolitical tensions, and currency fluctuations further impact import parity and export competitiveness. Seasonal demand shifts in heating or gasoline sectors can add additional volatility.

Naphtha Price Index - November 2025

The November 2025 price index reflected mixed regional movements driven by shifting crude oil benchmarks and varied petrochemical demand across markets. Regions with robust cracker activity showed stronger pricing support, while those experiencing inventory pressure and subdued polymer demand saw price declines. Refinery turnarounds, export flows, and logistics rates contributed to index fluctuations during the month.

Latest News - November 2025

In November 2025, global naphtha markets were influenced by easing crude prices, cautious petrochemical consumption, and improved freight conditions. Steam cracker operators continued optimizing feedstock choices amid margin pressures. Refinery maintenance in key exporting regions tightened supply in select markets, while balanced inventories in Asia kept downward pressure on spot values.

Naphtha Market Trend - November 2025

The overall trend for November 2025 displayed a varied pattern across regions. Asia and Europe witnessed downward price corrections due to weaker cracker demand and ample supply. Meanwhile, the Middle East saw upward momentum supported by export demand and tighter supplies. North America remained under pressure from lower crude benchmarks and comfortable inventories.

Future Demand Outlook for Naphtha

Future demand for naphtha is expected to be shaped by evolving petrochemical expansion, gasoline blending requirements, and feedstock competition with LPG and ethane. Growth in packaging, automotive plastics, and construction materials will drive long-term demand for olefins derived from naphtha. However, refinery capacity shifts, alternative feedstocks, and energy-transition policies may moderate growth.

Current Demand and Uses

Currently, naphtha is primarily used as a feedstock for producing ethylene, propylene, and aromatics in steam crackers-key building blocks for plastics, resins, and synthetic fibers. It also plays a role in gasoline blending to improve volatility. Additional applications include industrial solvents, cleaning agents, and fuel for specialized equipment, keeping overall demand steady across multiple industries.
