Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: The pricing pressure was influenced by multiple demand- and supply-side factors. On the demand side, reduced consumption in the automotive and electronics sectors in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea, driven by inventory adjustments and slower manufacturing cycles, contributed to the moderated pricing. On the supply side, stable monomer (MMA) feedstock availability and relatively low import tariffs allowed manufacturers to maintain production efficiency, mitigating upward pressure on prices. Logistics costs, including port handling and domestic transportation, remained steady; however, currency fluctuations, particularly the appreciation of the Japanese yen against the USD, slightly offset local pricing. Additionally, compliance with quality certifications and environmental regulations in South Korea and Japan increased operational costs marginally but did not significantly impact regional pricing.
Europe: The price evolution was shaped by a combination of domestic and international factors. Demand from construction, automotive, and medical device industries remained consistent, while certain sectors, including signage and lighting, experienced temporary softness due to energy cost pressures. On the supply side, disruptions in shipping routes and port congestions in Northern European countries slightly affected delivery timelines, indirectly influencing pricing strategies. Currency fluctuations, notably the euro against the USD, also contributed to regional pricing adjustments. Furthermore, European manufacturers faced compliance costs associated with environmental and product quality standards, including EU REACH regulations, adding marginally to production expenses.
Southeast Asia: Rising demand in the region’s growing automotive, electronics, and consumer goods sectors primarily drove the price increase, particularly in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Supply-side factors, including limited regional production capacity and reliance on imported MMA monomers, further pressured prices. International shipping costs, impacted by seasonal disruptions, elevated freight expenses, while port handling charges in major hubs like Singapore and Port Klang added to overall delivery costs. Currency volatility, particularly the depreciation of local currencies against the USD, influenced imported feedstock costs, contributing to higher final pricing. Additionally, compliance with environmental regulations and safety standards added moderate cost layers for manufacturers. Collectively, Southeast Asia exhibited strong pricing momentum in Q3, reflecting a combination of robust demand and constrained supply dynamics.
North America: The pricing trend was influenced by stable demand from the automotive, electronics, and construction sectors. Supply-side factors were largely favorable, with regional production capacity sufficient to meet domestic consumption, limiting extreme price fluctuations. Logistics and transportation costs remained stable, while minor variances in port handling and domestic freight due to seasonal factors had negligible impact. Currency fluctuations between the USD and other global currencies minimally affected imports of raw materials, and regulatory compliance costs for environmental and product quality standards were absorbed without major price adjustments. Overall, North America’s PMMA market maintained a balanced pricing environment, reflecting stability in both supply and demand.

Product Description
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is also widely known by the name acrylic glass or acrylic. PMMA is a transparent thermoplastic, which is generally utilized as a lightweight, shatter resistant substitute for glass. PMMA is derived from methyl methacrylate monomer. PMMA is chiefly renowned for its clarity, resistance to weathering and ultraviolet (UV) light and exceptional optical attributes. Such superior characteristics establish it as a preferred material for variety of applications, such as in manufacturing of aquariums, automotive windows, lenses and numerous protective barriers.
One of the main advantages of PMMA is its moldability, strength and its dimensional stability, which allows it to be formed into a variety of shapes and sizes, enhancing its utility across various industries. PMMA is also commonly used in the medical field for bone cement and cosmetic implants because of its biocompatibility.
