Introduction

Diethylenetriamine (DETA) is a key industrial amine used across a wide spectrum of end-use sectors including epoxy curing agents, fuel additives, lubricants, surfactants, polyurethane production, agrochemicals, and water treatment. Its demand profile is heavily dependent on industrial output cycles, agricultural seasons, and downstream chemical consumption. Over the past year, global DETA markets have experienced marked volatility as supply and demand fundamentals, feedstock availability, geopolitical influences, and logistical shifts reshaped price movements.

Given this backdrop, procurement teams, distributors, and downstream manufacturers must continually adapt to evolving market signals. This comprehensive analysis provides a global overview of DETA pricing trends, followed by detailed regional analysis, historical quarterly review, cost structure assessment, and forecast insights to support strategic sourcing decisions.

Global Price Overview

The global Diethylenetriamine market in 2024-2025 displayed a mixture of downward and upward pricing pressures, largely reflecting demand fluctuations from automotive, construction, agrochemicals, and personal care sectors. While feedstock cost trends - particularly ethylene dichloride (EDC) and ammonia - have influenced production margins, broader market conditions such as logistics bottlenecks, port congestion, container shortages, and varying inventory levels also significantly shaped global pricing.

Key global takeaways include:

Q4 2024: Prices fell across APAC and Europe due to rising inventories, lower feedstock costs, and weak seasonal demand. North America saw mixed movement, with cost pressures early in the quarter giving way to stability.
Q1 2025: Markets were mixed; North America saw a 4% increase, APAC reported modest rises, while Europe and MEA experienced declines due to demand weakness and production stability.
Q2 2025: Global DETA prices softened significantly due to oversupply, subdued procurement, and easing feedstock prices.
Q3 2025: The downtrend continued in North America and MEA, while APAC saw marginal upward pressure from agricultural demand but remained soft overall.
Across all regions, subdued export demand, elevated inventories, and cost moderation prevented substantial price recovery. These trends highlight the need for strong market intelligence to navigate pricing volatility.

However, by late Q1, easing raw material costs and improving inventory levels led to market correction.

Q2 2025

North America recorded a 2.8% decline in the DETA Price Index. Ample inventories and falling feedstock costs contributed to oversupply conditions. Demand from construction, cosmetics, and export markets remained weak. Competitive low-cost cargoes from Asia and the Middle East further pressured U.S. export competitiveness.

Q3 2025

In Q3 2025, the U.S. DETA Price Index declined 8.18% quarter-over-quarter. Weak agrochemical demand, subdued export inquiries, and high inventory levels held prices down. Feedstock costs displayed mixed signals, with elevated ethylene dichloride partially offset by softer ammonia. Stable production and logistical stability provided supply continuity, limiting price volatility.
