2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
Germany held the top of the four markets we track for the 2-ethylhexyl nitrate through the first half of the year 2026 (H1 2026), with Q2 closing at a value of USD 2.84/KG, up 1.4% from the USD 2.80 in Q1. Worldwide, the average firmed to a value of USD 2.59/KG in Q2 2026, a gain of just a 1.6% percent over the Q1 figure of USD 2.55, as the diesel-season demand and the feedstock cost firmed together.
The 2-ethylhexyl nitrate, or 2-EHN, is a cetane improver for the diesel fuel, made from the 2-ethylhexanol and the nitric acid. Adding it to the diesel raises the cetane number and improves the ignition, so its demand rides the diesel and the road-fuel cycle. Its cost tracks the 2-ethylhexanol and the nitric acid economics closely.
Two things move the 2-ethylhexyl nitrate price the most: the 2-ethylhexanol feedstock cost, and the diesel and the road-fuel demand cycle. For the second half of 2026 (H2 2026), a range of an amount of USD 2.52 to 2.72/KG looks likely worldwide, supported by the steady diesel cetane-improver offtake.
2-Ethylhexyl Nitrate Price Forecast for 2026
Supply and the demand look close to balanced through the H2 2026, with the 2-ethylhexanol cost and the diesel season setting the direction. The fuel blenders held their procurement steady through the H1, and that looks set to hold. China's large base will likely keep it the cheapest of the four, while the India, the United States, and the Germany track higher on the freight and the local costs.
The market sits set for a firm and a measured move. The bigger question for the buyers is the 2-ethylhexanol cost, since that carries most of the finished-product price for a single-feedstock compound like this.
What could push the prices higher? A 2-ethylhexanol or a nitric acid feedstock spike, or a strong winter diesel season. What could pull them lower? Softer diesel demand, or the expanded low-cost Chinese capacity outpacing the demand.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 2.52 - 2.72 | Steady diesel cetane demand, feedstock-led |
| China | 2.20 - 2.38 | Large 2-EH base keeps China cheapest |
| India | 2.44 - 2.62 | Import-parity pull and firm diesel demand |
| United States | 2.68 - 2.88 | Diesel-blend demand commands a premium |
| Germany | 2.78 - 2.98 | Winter diesel demand holds the top |
