Aniline Pricing Overview

Asia

The Asia Pacific Aniline demand surpassed its Q2 quarter levels as strong

demand for MDI served as the key contributing factor for improved margins.

The Chinese Aniline plant operating levels have been high, driven by

increased buying sentiments right from mid-June onwards, which however, is

yet to regain strength up to the pre-pandemic levels. Strong recovery in PU

foams sector which is used in the furniture and appliances is predicted with

many Southeast Asian producers ramping up production feeling the festive

push. Indian Aniline demand from the pharmaceutical industry remained high

throughout the quarter with several market players receiving shipment orders

from the US.

Europe

The Aniline market remained pressured in the third quarter as the second

wave of COVID-19 wreaked havoc in the Europe Union. The demand for

Aniline from the downstream automotive and construction sectors remained

muted as the economy continued to grapple with the economic downturn.

The pricing curve maintained grounds as there were several reports of

downstream MDI plant turnarounds in the region, further pressing the

demand side. Production outages at several automotive factories further

crimped the Aniline consumption. The quarter ended with the news of Borsod

Chem starting production at its new 200 KTPA aniline plant in Hungary during

Q3 FY21.

Aniline Pricing Overview

North America

Regional Aniline demand witnessed a sharp rebound with strong uptick in PU

demand from the automotive and construction sector which remained in

doldrums during the second quarter as the nation continued strictest

coronavirus-related restrictions on economic activity. The end-use markets

reported supply tightness due to logistic disruptions and plant closures in

several US provinces caused by the Hurricane Laura. Aniline consumption by

the manufacturers of methylene diphenyl diisocycanate (MDI) showed sharp

recovery with better sales figures reported from sectors such as consumer

durables and home appliances.

About

Aniline (C6H5NH2) is yellow to brownish oily liquid possessing a musty fishy

odor. Aniline consists of an amino group attached to a phenyl group and is the

prototypical aromatic amine. Aniline is used as a precursor while producing a

wide variety of products such as polyurethane foam, agrochemicals, synthetic

dyes, antioxidants, rubber additives, varnishes and explosives. The key raw

materials used for the industrial production of Aniline are Benzene, Hydrogen

and concentrated Nitric Acid. The most common route for Aniline production is

through nitrobenzene which is produced via nitration of Benzene in a

continuous or batch process. This is followed by the catalytic vapor phase

hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene. About 75% of the global Aniline produced is

utilized for the production of methylene diphenyl diisocycanate (MDI), a

chemical compound used as a raw material in a wide variety of sectors such

as construction and automotive and for consumer products such as household

appliances, clothing and footwear.
