Market Overview
Melamine prices in the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 5.2% in Q2 2026 to USD 1,220.00/MT from USD 1,160.00/MT in Q1, as steady laminate and particleboard resin demand supported continued firming. Qatar moved in the opposite direction, falling a further 4.4% to USD 765.00/MT, extending a persistent decline tied to soft regional construction demand and ample export-oriented capacity. Globally, the average rose from USD 994.70/MT in Q1 to USD 1,030.50/MT in Q2, a 3.6% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 970.00-1,110.00/MT is expected, with the divergence between a firm Western market and a persistently soft Qatar likely to continue.
Melamine is a nitrogen-rich organic compound produced from urea, serving primarily as the building block for melamine-formaldehyde resins used in laminates, particleboard and plywood adhesives, and molded tableware, with additional use as a flame retardant in coatings, textiles, and foam insulation. China holds the largest global production base, while Qatar hosts substantial export-oriented capacity built around low-cost regional natural gas feedstock for urea production. Urea feedstock costs, construction and furniture sector demand for laminate and particleboard resins, and regional capacity utilization are what drive prices in this market.
Melamine Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Melamine through H2 2026 stays split by region. The United States, Germany, and China should continue firming on steady construction and furniture-linked demand alongside rising urea feedstock costs, while Qatar looks set to remain the persistent outlier, weighed down by soft regional demand and ample export capacity relative to current offtake.
The main upside risk is a stronger-than-expected pickup in global construction activity, which would tighten laminate and particleboard resin demand across every region at once. The main downside risk is a further expansion of Qatari or other Gulf export capacity, which could pressure prices in the broader Asian and European markets that compete for the same import demand.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 970.00 - 1,110.00 | Firm Western demand offsets persistent Qatari softness |
| United States | 1,190.00 - 1,320.00 | Steady laminate and resin demand sustains the highest cost |
| Germany | 1,110.00 - 1,230.00 | Construction and furniture demand support continued firming |
| China | 970.00 - 1,070.00 | Largest producing market, tracks urea feedstock costs |
| Qatar | 720.00 - 800.00 | Soft regional demand and ample capacity extend the decline |

Melamine Prices in the United States
US Melamine prices averaged USD 1,220.00/MT in Q2 2026, the highest of any region tracked here, up 5.2% from USD 1,160.00/MT in Q1, as steady demand from laminate and particleboard resin manufacturers kept this market firm.
Why did the price of Melamine change in Q2 2026 in the United States?
Consistent demand from furniture and cabinetry manufacturers, combined with steady construction-linked particleboard resin consumption, gave domestic producers room to pass through rising urea feedstock costs.
Melamine Prices in Germany
German prices averaged USD 1,140.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 5.1% from USD 1,085.00/MT in Q1, tracking firm construction and furniture sector demand.
Why did the price of Melamine change in Q2 2026 in Germany?
Firm construction and furniture sector activity across the German market kept resin producers busy, supporting continued price gains even as underlying feedstock costs moved only moderately.
Melamine Prices in China
Chinese prices averaged USD 995.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 4.7% from USD 950.00/MT in Q1, as the largest producing market absorbed rising urea feedstock costs.
Why did the price of Melamine change in Q2 2026 in China?
Rising urea feedstock costs continued feeding through to finished melamine pricing, while domestic laminate and particleboard demand held broadly steady, supporting consistent gains.
Melamine Prices in Qatar
Qatari export-benchmark prices averaged USD 765.00/MT in Q2 2026, the lowest of any region tracked here, down 4.4% from USD 800.00/MT in Q1, extending a persistent decline now stretching across five consecutive quarters.
Why did the price of Melamine change in Q2 2026 in Qatar?
Soft regional construction demand, combined with substantial export-oriented capacity built for a larger global market than currently exists, continued to leave Qatari producers with limited pricing power relative to Western and Chinese peers.

Urea feedstock costs continued their upward trajectory, and with domestic demand holding steady, Chinese melamine producers passed through a meaningful share of that cost increase.
Melamine Prices in Qatar
Qatari prices fell a further 4.8% in Q1 2026 to USD 800.00/MT from USD 840.00/MT in Q4 2025, continuing the persistent regional decline.
Why did the price of Melamine change in Q1 2026 in Qatar?
Persistently soft regional construction demand, combined with export-oriented capacity built for a larger addressable market, left Qatari producers unable to match the pricing gains seen in the United States, Germany, and China.
