Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) Prices in the United States:

In the last quarter, Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate (MDI) Prices in the United States saw a significant drop, reaching 2,130 USD/MT by December. This decline was mainly due to weak demand in the polyurethane sector, which suffered from lower consumption linked to sluggish construction and manufacturing activities. The downturn in automotive production, exacerbated by the UAW strike, also played a role in dampening market demand. Additionally, falling raw material costs, especially for benzene and crude oil, contributed to the price drop. The rise in inventories and the introduction of bio-based polyurethane alternatives added further pressure. Together, these factors created a tough market environment, resulting in a consistent decrease in MDI prices throughout the quarter.
