Image
According to ChemAnalyst, The global Isophorone Diamine (IPDA) prices displayed divergent regional trends during the second quarter of 2026, reflecting differences in feedstock economics, production costs, industrial demand, and regional supply conditions. IPDA, also known as 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylamine, is an important aliphatic diamine widely used as a curing agent for epoxy resins, particularly in coatings, adhesives, composites, flooring systems, and construction applications. During Q2 2026, the Isophorone Diamine (IPDA) Price Index moved in different directions across APAC, North America, and Europe. In China, prices declined quarter-over-quarter as lower feedstock costs, particularly toward June, reduced manufacturing cost pressure. The average IPDA price during the quarter was approximately USD 3280/MT FOB China . In contrast, the North American market recorded an increase in IPDA prices. Higher production costs and demand contributed to the upward movement, ...

According to ChemAnalyst, The global Sulfanilamide Prices moved upward during the second quarter of 2026, with price increases recorded across major producing and consuming regions. Higher production costs were the primary factor influencing the Sulfanilamide Price Index during the quarter, while demand remained relatively stable across pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Rising sulfur-related input costs placed additional pressure on manufacturers, increasing the cost base for Sulfanilamide production. In the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, China remained an important reference market for Sulfanilamide pricing. The Sulfanilamide Price Index in China increased quarter-over-quarter in Q2 2026 , reflecting higher production expenses and firmer manufacturing economics. Sulfanilamide prices were assessed at approximately USD 12,500/MT China during the quarter. North America also recorded a quarter-over-quarter increase in Sulfanilamide Prices. In the United States, elevated production ...

According to ChemAnalyst, The Zidovudine Prices recorded an upward movement across major pharmaceutical markets during the second quarter of 2026. Price developments were shaped by firm demand for HIV treatment medicines, higher production costs, fluctuations in energy expenses, and changing raw material economics. Zidovudine, also known as azidothymidine (AZT), remains an established nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) used as part of antiretroviral treatment regimens and in specific clinical applications. During Q2 2026, the Zidovudine Price Index increased in the United States, China, and Germany, although the underlying market dynamics differed across regions. In North America, stronger pharmaceutical demand and rising producer costs supported prices. In China, pharmaceutical demand strengthened while energy and environmental expenses introduced volatility into manufacturing economics. Meanwhile, European prices, particularly in Germany, increased amid higher pharmac...
