China and India Trimethylolpropane Prices Move Lower as Falling

China's Trimethylolpropane (TMP) market is moving lower as declining propylene costs reduce production expenses and weaken overall sentiment, according to the latest market intelligence from Price WatchTM.

Producers continue revising export offers to remain competitive in key overseas markets including India, Turkey, and South Korea, while ample supply and cautious downstream demand across coatings, plastics, and lubricants sectors keep the broader TMP market under pressure. India's TMP market remains similarly subdued, heavily dependent on Chinese imports, with soft consumption and inventory-focused purchasing limiting price recovery.

China's Trimethylolpropane Market Declines on Weaker Propylene Feedstock Costs

China's TMP market has continued moving lower from mid-May through mid-June 2026, as declining propylene prices reduce production costs and place sustained pressure on market sentiment. Producers are actively revising export offers to stay competitive in overseas markets such as Turkey and South Korea, while domestic supply remains sufficient to meet current demand levels.

Downstream demand from the paints and coatings sector remains steady but lacks strong momentum amid moderate construction activity. Plastics manufacturers continue purchasing TMP according to immediate needs, while lubricant producers maintain conservative procurement strategies. Price WatchTM notes that the combination of weaker feedstock values and measured downstream demand is keeping TMP prices on a sustained downward trend.

India's Trimethylolpropane Market Remains Subdued Amid Heavy Import Dependence

India's TMP market continues to show subdued demand as downstream industries maintain cautious purchasing decisions. Imports from China continue to supply a major share of India's domestic TMP requirements, supported by competitive Chinese pricing and established supply chains.

In the paints and coatings sector, TMP consumption remains soft as resin producers maintain controlled buying aligned with stable production schedules, with the material remaining important for alkyd and polyester resins used in protective and industrial coatings.

In plastics, TMP demand has eased slightly as processors focus on inventory control and cost efficiency, while the lubricants sector records steady-to-soft demand. Overall reliance on imported Chinese TMP intermediates remains high across India's chemical industry.

Trimethylolpropane Market Outlook: Continued Softness Expected in China

Price WatchTM expects Trimethylolpropane prices in China to soften further over the next two weeks as demand remains weak. Key end-use sectors including paints and coatings, plastics, and lubricants are likely to continue scaling back purchases, while ample supply availability and cautious downstream buying behaviour keep the broader TMP market under pressure.
