2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
2 Ethylhexyl acrylate is an acrylate ester monomer made from acrylic acid and 2 ethylhexanol, prized for the flexibility it brings to acrylate polymers and emulsions, which makes it a favorite for pressure sensitive adhesives used in tapes and labels, along with paints, coatings and textile finishing. Because acrylic acid is the dominant feedstock and itself tracks propylene costs closely, and propylene in turn responds to crude oil and geopolitical supply disruptions, pricing can move quickly when upstream markets get volatile. China leads both production and consumption, with the United States, Germany, Singapore and India serving as other significant markets, and e-commerce driven demand for tape and label adhesives has been a recurring theme through 2026 alongside seasonal coatings demand.
Prices spiked sharply across nearly every region in the second quarter of 2026. The United States averaged roughly USD 2.02 per KG, up more than 60 percent quarter on quarter, Germany climbed to around USD 2.49 per KG, up over 70 percent, and India rose to near USD 2.38 per KG, up more than 62 percent. China and Singapore posted more modest, though still sizable, gains to roughly USD 1.29 and USD 1.34 per KG respectively. The spike traced back to a sharp acrylic acid and propylene rally in May, driven by conflict linked disruption to Middle Eastern supply routes, though feedstock costs began easing in June after a peace memorandum calmed the geopolitical backdrop, with downstream acrylate chain products already softening by mid July even though a confirmed 2 ethylhexyl acrylate figure for that later period was not available.
What is 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate Price in September 2026?
2 Ethylhexyl acrylate prices are likely easing from their second quarter peaks as September 2026 begins, though they remain well above where the year started, with the United States and India still trading above USD 2.00 per KG and China closer to USD 1.30 per KG.
- Feedstock Spike: A sharp acrylic acid and propylene rally in May, tied to conflict linked disruption of Middle Eastern supply routes, drove the steep second quarter price increases seen across every tracked region, some gains exceeding 60 percent in a single quarter.
- Feedstock Easing: A mid June peace memorandum eased the geopolitical backdrop, and acrylic acid costs began softening soon after, with related acrylate chain products already declining by mid July even as confirmed September figures for this product remain unavailable.
- Adhesive Demand: Steady demand for pressure sensitive adhesives used in tapes and labels, reinforced by e-commerce driven packaging volumes, has kept a floor under prices even as feedstock costs have started to unwind from their spring peak.
2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for 2-ethylhexyl acrylate through the rest of 2026 leans cautiously firm. Acrylic acid and 2-ethylhexanol feedstock costs firmed from Middle East propylene supply disruptions. Pressure-sensitive adhesive and coating sector demand is recovering with improving e-commerce packaging and construction activity.
The main upside risk is a sustained propylene cost increase alongside accelerating adhesive tape and label demand from e-commerce packaging growth. The main downside risk is continued Chinese 2-EHA production capacity additions and weak European construction demand that limits global price recovery.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1.32 - 1.50 | Propylene firming and adhesive demand support tone |
| United States | 1.40 - 1.58 | Steady adhesive and coating demand holds it firm |
| China | 1.00 - 1.18 | Large production capacity keeps it the most affordable |
| Germany | 1.66 - 1.84 | High feedstock and energy costs keep it the most expensive |
| India | 1.30 - 1.48 | Growing adhesive and coating demand holds a firm middle |
