Cyclohexanol Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Cyclohexanol prices in the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 1.5% in Q2 2026 to USD 1,350.00/MT from USD 1,330.00/MT in Q1, holding near the lower end of the range established after this market's sharp 2025 correction. German prices, which had peaked dramatically at USD 1,460.00/MT in Q2 2025 before retreating 11.6% to USD 1,290.00/MT by Q4, edged up 1.5% in Q2 to USD 1,320.00/MT. Chinese prices, by contrast, continued softening, down 3.2% to USD 1,200.00/MT as persistent overcapacity in Chinese nylon 6 production kept this market under pressure. Globally, the average rose from USD 1,271.40/MT in Q1 to USD 1,274.80/MT in Q2, a 0.3% gain, following a sharp multi-quarter decline through the second half of 2025. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 1,100.00-1,400.00/MT is expected, with further modest divergence likely between a stabilizing Europe and a continued softening Northeast Asia.
Cyclohexanol is an alicyclic alcohol produced through the hydrogenation of phenol or the oxidation of cyclohexane, serving as a critical intermediate in the production of adipic acid and caprolactam, the two primary feedstocks for nylon 66 and nylon 6 respectively. It also finds use as a solvent in the manufacture of soaps, insecticides, and germicides, and in textile processing applications. Because cyclohexanol sits directly upstream of the nylon value chain, this market's regional pricing tracks Chinese synthetic fiber producer demand and broader nylon supply chain rebalancing closely, alongside phenol and cyclohexane feedstock economics. Phenol and cyclohexane feedstock costs, caprolactam and adipic acid demand from nylon producers, and regional supply chain rebalancing are what drive prices in this market.
Cyclohexanol Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Cyclohexanol through H2 2026 shows further modest divergence, with Europe expected to edge slightly higher as cyclohexane supply normalizes, while Northeast Asia continues its softening trend on persistent overcapacity in Chinese nylon 6 production. The convergence of European and Northeast Asian prices recorded in late 2025, following a year of significant intra-regional spread, reflected global caprolactam supply chain rebalancing that is expected to continue shaping regional price relationships through the remainder of 2026.
The main upside risk is a tightening of phenol or cyclohexane feedstock availability, or a faster-than-expected recovery in Chinese nylon 6 demand, which could reverse the current Northeast Asian softening trend. The main downside risk is a further buildup of Chinese nylon 6 overcapacity combined with weaker global caprolactam demand, which could extend the price declines seen through most of 2025 and into 2026 further.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 1,100.00 - 1,400.00 | Modest divergence between stabilizing Europe and softening Northeast Asia |
| United States | 1,280.00 - 1,420.00 | Steady caprolactam and adipic acid demand sustains the highest cost |
| Germany | 1,250.00 - 1,400.00 | Cyclohexane supply normalization supports modest gains |
| India | 1,150.00 - 1,280.00 | Steady regional nylon demand keeps this market comparatively stable |
| China | 1,120.00 - 1,300.00 | Persistent nylon 6 overcapacity keeps this the most affordable market |

Cyclohexanol Prices in China
Chinese prices averaged USD 1,200.00/MT in Q2 2026, down 3.2% from USD 1,240.00/MT in Q1, as persistent overcapacity in Chinese nylon 6 production continued keeping this market under pressure.
Why did the price of Cyclohexanol change in Q2 2026 in China?
Persistent overcapacity in Chinese nylon 6 production continued weighing on caprolactam demand and, by extension, cyclohexanol feedstock consumption, keeping this market the most affordable tracked here.
Cyclohexanol Prices in India

Steady regional nylon manufacturing demand kept this market comparatively stable, avoiding the sharper swings seen in the European and Northeast Asian benchmarks.
For the Quarter Ending March 2026
Cyclohexanol Prices Q1 2026:
- United States: USD 1,330.00/MT
- Germany: USD 1,300.00/MT

US prices fell 0.7% in Q1 2026 to USD 1,330.00/MT from USD 1,340.00/MT in Q4 2025, holding broadly stable after the sharp 2025 correction.
Why did the price of Cyclohexanol change in Q1 2026 in the United States?
The convergence of European and Northeast Asian prices recorded in Q4 2025, both settling near the same level, was a notable development after a year of significant intra-regional spread, with US pricing holding broadly stable through the transition.
Cyclohexanol Prices in Germany
German prices rose 0.8% in Q1 2026 to USD 1,300.00/MT from USD 1,290.00/MT in Q4 2025, as cyclohexane supply began normalizing.
Why did the price of Cyclohexanol change in Q1 2026 in Germany?
Europe edged slightly higher as cyclohexane supply began normalizing, a modest divergence from the softening trend evident in Northeast Asia, following the convergence of European and Northeast Asian prices recorded at the end of 2025.
Cyclohexanol Prices in China
Chinese prices fell 3.9% in Q1 2026 to USD 1,240.00/MT from USD 1,290.00/MT in Q4 2025, continuing to soften on persistent overcapacity in Chinese nylon fibre production.
Why did the price of Cyclohexanol change in Q1 2026 in China?
Northeast Asia continued its softening trend on persistent overcapacity in Chinese nylon 6 and nylon 66 production, reflecting weakening caprolactam demand from Chinese synthetic fibre producers and softer phenol-derived cyclohexanol feedstock economics.
Cyclohexanol Prices in India
Indian prices fell 1.6% in Q1 2026 to USD 1,200.00/MT from USD 1,220.00/MT in Q4 2025, a modest continuation of the broader softening trend.
Why did the price of Cyclohexanol change in Q1 2026 in India?
The late-year decline in the broader Asian cyclohexanol market reflected weakening caprolactam demand from Chinese synthetic fibre producers and softer phenol-derived feedstock economics, with Indian pricing tracking that regional softening modestly.
Quarterly Cyclohexanol Price Trends
Global Cyclohexanol prices peaked sharply in Q2 2025, driven almost entirely by the European price cycle, before retreating through the rest of the year as Northeast Asian prices, which had held nearly flat through Q3, began declining on weakening Chinese caprolactam demand, with both regions converging to similar levels by Q4 2025 before modest, region-specific divergence resumed into 2026.
