Nylon 66 Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Nylon 66 prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 2.5% in Q2 2026 to USD 6,100.00/MT from USD 5,950.00/MT in Q1, as European PA66 producers' progressive repositioning toward specialty engineering alloys and flame-retardant compounds continued reducing pure commodity availability and sustaining a persistent regional premium. Globally, the average rose from USD 4,490.30/MT in Q1 to USD 4,596.60/MT in Q2, a 2.4% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 4,300.00-5,000.00/MT is expected, with elevated HMDA and adipic acid feedstock costs likely to keep this market firm across every region.
Nylon 66, chemically polyamide 66 and commonly abbreviated PA66, is an engineering thermoplastic produced by condensation polymerization of hexamethylenediamine, or HMDA, with adipic acid. It serves as a critical material in automotive engine components, radiator end tanks, and electrical connectors given its high heat resistance and mechanical strength, alongside applications in industrial gears, bearings, and consumer appliance housings. Global prices experienced extreme volatility in recent years, with a 2021 HMDA supply crisis pushing prices to record highs before a sustained multi-year correction returned the global average to more moderate levels by 2025. European prices have remained well above Asian benchmarks throughout, supported by energy cost premiums, REACH compliance documentation costs, and a producer shift toward specialty grades that has reduced pure commodity PA66 availability. HMDA and adipic acid feedstock costs, automotive and EV demand, and regional producer portfolio shifts toward specialty grades are what drive prices in this market.
Nylon 66 Price Forecast for 2026
The outlook for Nylon 66 through H2 2026 stays firm, tracking elevated HMDA and adipic acid feedstock costs tied to the broader Strait of Hormuz-linked benzene and petrochemical cost environment. Favorable demand from automotive parts, engineering resins, and electric appliance manufacturers, following weak sales at the end of 2025, should continue supporting consumption even as buyers remain cautious and replenish stocks at measured rates.
The main upside risk is a further escalation of Middle East energy market disruption affecting benzene, adipic acid, or HMDA feedstock costs, which could push prices higher than currently forecast. The main downside risk is a faster-than-expected normalization of feedstock costs combined with continued cautious downstream buying, which would limit the pace of further gains.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 4,300.00 - 5,000.00 | Elevated HMDA and adipic acid feedstock costs keep this firm |
| Germany | 5,800.00 - 6,500.00 | Specialty grade shift and energy premiums sustain the highest cost |
| United States | 4,700.00 - 5,300.00 | Recovering benzene-linked feedstock economics support firmness |
| Brazil | 4,150.00 - 4,650.00 | Steady automotive sector demand drives continued gains |
| China | 2,350.00 - 2,650.00 | Large-scale production capacity keeps this the most affordable market |

Nylon 66 Prices in Germany
German Nylon 66 prices averaged USD 6,100.00/MT in Q2 2026, the highest of any region tracked here, up 2.5% from USD 5,950.00/MT in Q1, as the ongoing producer shift toward specialty engineering alloys and flame-retardant compounds continued reducing commodity PA66 availability.
Why did the price of Nylon 66 change in Q2 2026 in Germany?
European PA66 producers have been progressively repositioning toward specialty engineering alloys, flame-retardant compounds, and recycled-content grades, a portfolio shift that protects margin but reduces pure commodity PA66 availability, contributing to the sustained European price premium.
Nylon 66 Prices in the United States
US prices averaged USD 4,950.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 2.1% from USD 4,850.00/MT in Q1, as recovering benzene-linked feedstock economics continued supporting this market following the Q1 reversal.
Why did the price of Nylon 66 change in Q2 2026 in the United States?
Higher benzene costs, tied to the crude-linked feedstock rally, continued supporting producer price increases for PA compounds, even as demand from automotive, electrical, and molded component applications stayed mixed.
Nylon 66 Prices in Brazil
Brazilian prices averaged USD 4,400.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 2.3% from USD 4,300.00/MT in Q1, as steady automotive sector demand continued driving gains.

Nylon 66 Prices in Germany
German prices rose 4.2% in Q1 2026 to USD 5,950.00/MT from USD 5,708.00/MT in Q4 2025, as winter energy costs rose and automotive production schedules firmed ahead of spring build rates.
Why did the price of Nylon 66 change in Q1 2026 in Germany?
European prices moved in a narrow upward trend supported by a combination of energy cost premiums, REACH compliance documentation costs, and the value placed by European OEMs on regionally sourced, sustainably documented engineering compounds, with Q1 2026 pushing higher as winter energy costs rose and automotive production schedules firmed ahead of spring build rates.
Nylon 66 Prices in the United States
US prices rose 3.8% in Q1 2026 to USD 4,850.00/MT from USD 4,674.00/MT in Q4 2025, as higher benzene costs following the crude-linked feedstock rally strengthened the PA66 price curve.
Why did the price of Nylon 66 change in Q1 2026 in the United States?
The PA66 price curve strengthened in North American markets as the region faced higher benzene costs after the crude-linked feedstock rally, with producer price increases for PA compounds confirming cost pressure across the nylon chain even as demand from automotive, electrical, and molded component applications remained mixed.
Nylon 66 Prices in Brazil
Brazilian prices rose 4.5% in Q1 2026 to USD 4,300.00/MT from USD 4,115.00/MT in Q4 2025, tracking favorable demand in downstream industries.
Why did the price of Nylon 66 change in Q1 2026 in Brazil?
Nylon 66 price trend saw an upward movement due to favorable demand in downstream industries and increasing raw material prices, with higher buying activities in the automotive parts, engineering resins, and electric appliances segments recorded after weak sales in the last quarter of 2025.
Nylon 66 Prices in China
Chinese prices rose 3.8% in Q1 2026 to USD 2,415.00/MT from USD 2,327.00/MT in Q4 2025, growing 3.50 to 4.00 percent in all major global markets during March as raw material costs increased.
Why did the price of Nylon 66 change in Q1 2026 in China?
Production cost support was provided by higher prices of adipic acid and HMDA, while crude oil prices were also higher due to rising political unrest, which increased the price of energy and petrochemicals, though buyers remained cautious and replenished stocks at slower rates, causing gradual price growth in the quarter.
Quarterly Nylon 66 Price Trends
Global Nylon 66 prices moved in a narrow range through most of 2025, with European prices holding a persistent structural premium over Asian benchmarks, before accelerating in Q1 2026 as rising crude oil prices lifted benzene-linked feedstock costs across the HMDA and adipic acid value chain, a trend that continued into Q2 as favorable automotive and engineering resin demand supported further gains.

What was Nylon 66 Price in 2025?
Nylon 66 moved in genuinely different directions across the markets covered in this report through 2025. Germany and Brazil posted firm annual gains, supported by energy cost premiums and favorable downstream demand respectively, while the United States and China both saw net annual declines as construction-linked demand stayed soft and buyers maintained cautious procurement, before every region firmed together once feedstock costs spiked in early 2026.
Nylon 66 Prices in Germany in 2025
German prices firmed from about USD 5,400.00/MT in Q1 2025 to USD 5,708.00/MT by Q4, a gain of roughly 5.7%, the strongest annual increase of the four regions, supported by energy cost premiums and REACH compliance costs.
Nylon 66 Prices in the United States in 2025
US prices declined from about USD 4,900.00/MT in Q1 2025 to USD 4,674.00/MT by Q4, down roughly 4.6%, as construction activity remained slow amid high borrowing costs, preventing stronger demand from building-related applications.
Nylon 66 Prices in Brazil in 2025
