Cyclohexane Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Cyclohexane is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon produced from benzene through catalytic hydrogenation, used as the primary feedstock for adipic acid and caprolactam production in nylon manufacturing. Benzene feedstock costs, and nylon chain demand all feed into the price.
Global cyclohexane prices firmed into Q2 2026 after falling from USD 1.02 per KG in Q1 2025 to USD 0.86 per KG in Q1 2026 on lower benzene costs, with Germany (Europe) reaching USD 1,118.00 per MT in June, up 16.06 percent quarter over quarter, on elevated benzene and energy cost pressures. China (APAC) climbed to USD 1,006.00 per MT, up 6.79 percent, as producers maintained supply discipline amid balanced downstream demand, while North America saw prices decline on ample domestic production and sufficient inventories meeting moderate downstream nylon chain requirements.
What is Cyclohexane Price in August 2026?
Cyclohexane prices held close to the Q2 2026 firming levels through August 2026, tracking regional benzene feedstock cost differentials, as nylon chain demand continued to shape the market across all tracked regions.
- Europe: German cyclohexane prices held near USD 1,062 to USD 1,174 per MT, close to the USD 1,118.00 per MT recorded in June 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as elevated benzene and energy cost pressures continued to sustain the regional premium.
- APAC (China): Chinese cyclohexane prices held near USD 956 to USD 1,056 per MT, close to the USD 1,006.00 per MT recorded in June 2026, as producer supply discipline continued to support the region's pricing.
- North America: North American cyclohexane prices held a softening tone through Q2 2026, as balanced domestic production and sufficient inventories continued to meet moderate downstream nylon chain demand.
Cyclohexane Price Forecast for 2026
The cyclohexane market had approached 2026 with prices near cycle lows in most regions, setting the stage for cautious stabilisation. Benzene feedstock cost recovery and automotive sector polyamide procurement improvement are the primary upside factors. India is expected to retain the highest regional price on domestic nylon capacity growth. The 7-region average is expected in the USD 0.830 to 0.950/KG range, contingent on downstream nylon demand recovery.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 0.830 - 0.950 | Modest recovery expected as benzene feedstock costs stabilise and nylon demand gradually improves |
| Europe | 0.840 - 0.960 | Benzene cost recovery and automotive sector restocking expected to underpin modest price improvement |
| India | 0.990 - 1.100 | Structural domestic nylon capacity growth sustains the highest regional price; further gains limited by import competition |
| Middle East | 0.820 - 0.940 | Export-oriented supply discipline and partial benzene recovery support gradual stabilisation |
| North America | 0.800 - 0.920 | Partial Q1 recovery expected to continue as automotive nylon demand firms seasonally |
| Northeast Asia | 0.780 - 0.900 | Chinese polyamide inventory correction limits recovery pace; lowest regional price expected to persist |
| South America | 0.800 - 0.920 | Stabilisation after 2025 correction as import supply tightens and textile nylon procurement recovers |
| Southeast Asia | 0.760 - 0.880 | Nylon producer buying discipline and benzene import cost recovery will determine pace of stabilisation |

Cyclohexane Prices in Europe
European cyclohexane had eased 3.9% in Q1 2026 to USD 0.870/KG from USD 0.905/KG in Q4. Benzene feedstock had remained soft and the seasonal slowdown in nylon fibre demand had extended into the new year. Automotive procurement had not recovered sufficiently.
Why did the price of cyclohexane change in Q1 2026 in Europe?
Continued benzene feedstock softness and a slow seasonal demand recovery in nylon end-use sectors had driven the 3.9% Q1 2026 decline.
Cyclohexane Prices in India
India had recorded USD 1.049/KG in Q1 2026, a marginal 0.6% ease from USD 1.055/KG in Q4, retaining the highest regional price.

What was Cyclohexane Price in 2025?
Cyclohexane had declined across six of the seven reporting regions in 2025, with the average falling from USD 1.023/KG to USD 0.875/KG, a 14.5% full-year compression. India had been the only exception. Three factors had shaped the year:
- Benzene feedstock cost declines across European, North American, and Middle Eastern markets had compressed cyclohexane production economics, transmitting directly into spot and contract price reductions
- Softening nylon fibre and resin demand from automotive and textile end-use sectors had reduced cyclohexane absorption, with South America and North America recording the steepest full-year regional corrections at 28.4% and 23.3% respectively
- India's counter-trend performance had reflected domestic nylon manufacturing capacity additions that had sustained cyclohexane demand independently of the broader market correction
Cyclohexane Prices in Europe in 2025
From USD 1.051/KG in Q1 to USD 0.905/KG in Q4, a 13.9% full-year decline. A brief Q2 uptick to USD 1.097/KG had reversed sharply in Q3 and extended into Q4 as benzene input costs and nylon demand had both retreated.
Cyclohexane Prices in India in 2025
From USD 0.990/KG in Q1 to USD 1.055/KG in Q4, a 6.6% full-year gain - the only region to end 2025 above its opening price. Domestic nylon manufacturing capacity additions had sustained the demand for cyclohexane, keeping India at the highest regional price throughout.
Cyclohexane Prices in the Middle East in 2025
From USD 1.023/KG in Q1 to USD 0.892/KG in Q4, a 12.8% full-year decline. A Q2 uptick had reversed sharply in Q3 as benzene feedstock had eased and export demand for nylon intermediates had softened.
Cyclohexane Prices in North America in 2025
From USD 1.046/KG in Q1 to USD 0.802/KG in Q4, a 23.3% full-year decline. North America had recorded consecutive quarterly falls in every quarter of 2025 as automotive and textile nylon procurement had remained under pressure.
Cyclohexane Prices in Northeast Asia in 2025
From USD 0.907/KG in Q1 to USD 0.821/KG in Q4, a 9.5% full-year decline. Chinese polyamide overcapacity had kept the market pressure consistent through the year, with Northeast Asia holding among the lowest regional prices.
Cyclohexane Prices in South America in 2025
From USD 1.161/KG in Q1 to USD 0.831/KG in Q4, a 28.4% full-year decline - the steepest in the dataset. South America had started 2025 at the highest regional price before a sustained four-quarter correction driven by benzene input cost easing and weakening nylon fibre demand.
Cyclohexane Prices in Southeast Asia in 2025
From USD 0.984/KG in Q1 to USD 0.819/KG in Q4, a 16.8% full-year decline. Southeast Asia had followed the broader downtrend, with regional nylon producers maintaining cost discipline through the correction.
