Market Overview
For the Quarter Ending March 2021
North America
Alkyl Amines market in the North American region witnessed
constraint supplies of feedstock and was unable to cater the demand from
downstream agrochemical and pharmaceutical market. Amines plants in DOW and
BASF were forced to shut down amid the severe freeze weather conditions in the
USA Gulf region. The region witnessed steep uptrend in the feedstock Ammonia
prices which led to a multifold hike in the prices of Alkyl Amines as well.
Imports from the Asian suppliers surged as the domestic buyers became more
flexible towards the Asian market for feasible procurement.
Asia-Pacific (APAC)
During the first quarter of 2021, the Asia pacific supplies
of Alkyl Amines remained tight due to the reduced inventories levels amid the
Chinese Lunar New Year holidays, and the delay in ammonia cargoes due to
congestion and high shipment freight charges in prime trading routes. Demand
surged from the pharmaceutical sector, whereas enquiries from agrochemical
sector hiked amid the seasonal demand. The diversion of shipments towards USA
on back of hiked seasonal demand surged the prices, especially in Southeastern
region with Ex-depot Mumbai prices of n-Butyl Amine and Mono-Methyl Amine
settling at USD 2029 per ton and USD 914 per ton in early March.
Europe
In the European region, supplies of Alkyl amines showcased
mixed sentiments. Plants were heard operating at sluggish rated due to the
shortage in key feedstock Methanol and Ammonia. The transportation lag occurred
in the Northwest European region, as the routes between Amsterdam
–Rotterdam-Antwerp were closed due to the extreme cold weather. Demand from the
downstream market surged as the offtakes improved from the pharmaceutical and
agrochemical sector.

Alkyl Amines is a large class of nitrogen-containing organic
compounds used across a plethora of chemical industries. Amines are generally
produced through hydrogen-reduction reactions using metals as catalysts under
high pressure. Amines are generally produced from Ammonia (NH3), by
displacement of Hydrogen molecule in the Ammonia molecule with alkyl radicals
(R) such as Methyl, Ethylene, Propanol etc. Structurally, three types of alkyl
amines are produced-Primary, Secondary or Tertiary, based on the number of
hydrogen atoms displaced. Alkyl Amines have wide-ranging applications in the
rubber processing chemicals, agrochemicals, surfactants, and solvents. The key
end-use markets that they serve include explosives, agriculture,
pharmaceuticals, chemicals, animal/poultry feed additives and water-treatment.
Globally, the Alkyl Amines industry is an oligopoly with two-three producers
catering to the majority demand. Eastman Chemical Company and BASF are the
largest players globally among the top six players having a greater hold of the
global Alkyl Amine capacities.
