Propylamine Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Germany paid the most for propylamine in Q2 2026: USD 2.55/KG, up 4.5% from USD 2.44 in Q1. Propylamine is produced by reacting n-propanol with ammonia into either mono-n-propylamine or the branched isomer isopropylamine, both used as chemical intermediates across agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Agrochemical intermediate use, particularly in certain herbicide and fungicide synthesis routes, represents a significant share of demand, giving propylamine consumption some tie to global crop protection chemical production cycles. Mono-n-propylamine and isopropylamine, while structurally similar, are typically not interchangeable in a given synthesis route, since the specific molecular geometry required by a downstream reaction usually calls for one isomer or the other specifically.

China's scale of ammonia and downstream amine production capacity keeps it the most competitively priced of the four markets, while Germany's concentrated specialty and agrochemical intermediate manufacturing base keeps it the priciest. Because both n-propanol and ammonia are themselves actively traded commodities with their own supply and demand dynamics, propylamine pricing reflects a blend of both feedstock trends rather than tracking either one in isolation. Rubber processing chemicals and surfactant intermediate synthesis represent smaller additional demand pools that round out the broader consumption picture across all four markets.

Comparing the four markets side by side, Germany sat about 39% above China as Q2 closed. That kind of gap is common where import exposure and domestic production costs diverge as sharply as they do here.

Propylamine Price Forecast for 2026

Expect steady gains across all four markets through H2 2026 as agrochemical and pharmaceutical intermediate demand continues its gradual growth. China should retain its cost advantage given its scale of ammonia and downstream amine production capacity. Germany's premium should persist given its concentrated specialty and agrochemical intermediate manufacturing base. Global crop protection chemical production trends remain worth watching, given agrochemical synthesis's meaningful share of overall propylamine demand.

On balance, the first half of 2026 brought a 4.5% increase average move across the 4 markets covered here, a trend that should persist through year end absent a material change in the underlying drivers.

How We Can Help

Expert Market Research: Your Source for Real-Time Propylamine Price Intelligence

We monitor propylamine markets across every region with meaningful production or consumption, connecting the price you see to the n-propanol and ammonia costs and demand conditions behind it. The result is a regularly updated view built from the ground up rather than a single static figure.

Our forecasts combine production capacity data with feedstock cost trends and regional demand signals, giving sourcing teams a defensible basis for budgeting and supplier negotiations beyond a single point estimate.

Get in touch with our analysts if you need a more detailed regional view, historical pricing beyond the six quarters shown here, or a sourcing analysis built specifically around your procurement footprint.

We track mono-n-propylamine and isopropylamine pricing separately, since the two serve distinct synthesis routes and are typically not substitutable for one another, and we monitor rubber processing and surfactant intermediate demand as smaller but real secondary drivers worth watching alongside the larger agrochemical market.
