Isophorone Diisocyanate Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
United States paid the most for isophorone diisocyanate in Q2 2026: USD 10.05/KG, up 3.1% from USD 9.75 in Q1.
Isophorone diisocyanate, widely known by its abbreviation IPDI, is an aliphatic diisocyanate valued for producing polyurethane coatings and adhesives that hold their colour and gloss under UV exposure, unlike the more common aromatic isocyanates such as TDI and MDI.
It is manufactured by reacting isophorone diamine with phosgene, a route that requires careful handling given phosgene's toxicity, and this contributes to IPDI trading at a meaningful premium over bulk aromatic isocyanates.
Automotive refinish and OEM coatings, industrial protective coatings, and high-performance adhesives make up the bulk of demand, with Germany's coatings industry the traditional centre of gravity for both production and consumption.
The spread between the cheapest and priciest markets tracked here, China and United States, ran to roughly 18% in Q2 2026. That gap matters for procurement teams weighing sourcing origin against landed cost, since freight, duties, and local demand intensity all feed into where a given region ultimately lands.
Key Price Drivers
- Automotive OEM and refinish coatings demand, the largest single end use
- Isophorone diamine and phosgene feedstock costs and availability
- Industrial protective coatings demand from construction and infrastructure
- Regulatory and safety compliance costs tied to phosgene handling, which affect production economics
Isophorone Diisocyanate Price Forecast for 2026
Expect steady gains across all four markets through H2 2026 as automotive coatings demand continues its gradual recovery.
Germany should retain its position as a premium market given its concentrated coatings manufacturing base, though China's gap to the rest of the group should narrow.
Any disruption to phosgene supply chains would be the key risk to watch, given the specialised and tightly regulated nature of IPDI production.
Across all 4 regions combined, prices moved 3.9% increase on average between Q1 and Q2 2026. Absent a meaningful change to the cost or demand drivers outlined above, that pace looks set to carry into the second half of the year.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/KG) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 9.21 - 10.16 | Balance of regional supply and demand conditions |
| Germany | 9.51 - 10.49 | Steady automotive OEM coatings demand from the region's established manufacturing base supported another firm increase |
| China | 8.29 - 9.15 | Growing domestic coatings production capacity kept China's gap to the other three markets narrowing |
| United States | 9.75 - 10.75 | Automotive refinish demand held firm |
| Japan | 9.29 - 10.25 | Consistent industrial and automotive coatings demand supported steady pricing in line with the rest of the group |

Key Questions Answered in the Report
Isophorone diisocyanate, widely known by its abbreviation IPDI, is an aliphatic diisocyanate valued for producing polyurethane coatings and adhesives that hold their colour and gloss under UV exposure, unlike the more common aromatic isocyanates such as TDI and MDI.
In Q2 2026, it averaged USD 9.80/KG in Germany, USD 8.55/KG in China, USD 10.05/KG in United States, USD 9.58/KG in Japan, with United States the priciest of the 4 markets tracked in this report.
The global average moved from USD 9.00/KG in Q4 2025 to USD 9.14 in Q1 2026, then to USD 9.50 by Q2, a 5.5% increase across the two quarters.
Steady automotive oem coatings demand from the region's established manufacturing base supported another firm increase, with similar dynamics playing out across the other regions this report tracks, each shaped by its own local mix of supply and demand.
Expect steady gains across all four markets through H2 2026 as automotive coatings demand continues its gradual recovery.
United States commands the highest price of the 4 markets in this report, while China runs the most affordable. Local production economics, import exposure, and demand strength drive most of that gap, and the ranking is not fixed from quarter to quarter.
Automotive OEM and refinish coatings demand, the largest single end use; Isophorone diamine and phosgene feedstock costs and availability; Industrial protective coatings demand from construction and infrastructure, along with broader macroeconomic conditions across the 4 regions this report tracks.
Automotive refinish and OEM coatings, industrial protective coatings, and high-performance adhesives make up the bulk of demand, with Germany's coatings industry the traditional centre of gravity for both production and consumption.
IPDI is an aliphatic isocyanate that resists yellowing under UV light, a property standard aromatic isocyanates like MDI and TDI cannot match. That performance advantage, combined with its more specialised and tightly regulated phosgene-based production route, keeps IPDI priced well above bulk aromatic isocyanates.
Monthly, though our analysts flag any material shift in feedstock costs or regional demand as soon as it emerges.
