Supply-Demand Situation
- Supply Side: Domestic production capacity is concentrated in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces, with Shandong accounting for over 50% of national capacity and facing intense market competition. Some manufacturers have enhanced capacity via technological upgrades (e.g., new high-purity production lines), gradually increasing industry concentration. In April 2026, certain suppliers offered quotations as low as RMB 9,500/ton, reflecting regional overcapacity pressure.
- Demand Side: Demand for high-purity diethylamine in the pharmaceutical sector has grown significantly (used in synthesizing antibiotics and hormone intermediates); export demand is expanding in Southeast Asia and the Middle East; demand from pesticide and resin sectors remains stable, though environmental regulations are boosting demand for low-pollution products.

Industry Developments
- Industrial Layout: Hubei Jianghao New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has long focused on the organosilicon sector, establishing an integrated industrial structure centered on silane coupling agents, vinyl cyclic siloxanes, and phenyl silicone oils—serving rubber, tire, and plastic industries—and demonstrating strong adaptability to emerging sectors such as photovoltaics and wind power.
- Technological Innovation: Diethylamine production processes continue optimizing, particularly with the application of continuous production technologies, which significantly improve efficiency and reduce costs. Progress has also been made in developing bio-based diethylamine, potentially serving as a future alternative to conventional petroleum-derived products. Intelligent manufacturing and digital management are increasingly being adopted across diethylamine production facilities.
- Environmental Regulations: Stricter environmental laws are prompting enterprises to invest more in green chemical product R&D. Pharmaceutical industry compliance requirements are driving upward pricing pressure on high-purity products, while tightening environmental standards are accelerating enterprise technology upgrades.

II. Analysis and Assessment
Causes of Price Volatility
- Short-Term Factors: Regional supply-demand imbalances drive price divergence. Overcapacity in Shandong exerts downward price pressure, resulting in low quotations; conversely, robust demand for high-purity products sustains elevated prices in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Fluctuations in raw material prices also provide underlying price support.
- Long-Term Factors: Growing pharmaceutical demand and tightening environmental policies are propelling steady price increases for high-purity products; although global capacity expansion is underway, regional supply-demand gaps persist (global demand projected at 6.2 million tons and capacity at 8.0 million tons in 2025, implying a shortfall of 1.0 million tons), providing structural price support.

Competitive Landscape
- Regional Competition: Shandong hosts numerous suppliers and concentrated capacity, leading to intense price competition; Jiangsu and Zhejiang suppliers focus predominantly on high-purity products, enjoying evident brand premium.
- Enterprise-Level Competition: Leading firms are expanding market share through technological upgrading and mergers & acquisitions; new entrants face high barriers to entry. For example, Hubei Jianghao New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., leveraging industry-university-research integration, possesses customized R&D capabilities and holds a distinct competitive advantage.

III. Forecast
Price Forecast
- Short-Term: Influenced by raw material price fluctuations and regional supply-demand disparities, diethylamine prices are likely to remain volatile. Prices in Shandong may continue declining, while those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are expected to remain firm.
- Medium-Term: With rising pharmaceutical demand and stricter environmental regulation, high-purity product prices are poised for steady increases; prices for standard-purity products may experience modest rebounds supported by persistent supply-demand gaps.

Supply-Demand Forecast
- Supply Side: Domestic capacity will continue expanding, yet high-purity products remain reliant on import substitution. The supply structure is gradually optimizing, and industry concentration is further increasing.
- Demand Side: Steady growth is anticipated in pharmaceutical and pesticide sectors; export markets represent a key growth driver, with notably strong demand expansion observed in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Market Trends
- High-Purity Products: Compliance-driven pharmaceutical demand is broadening the market, benefiting technologically advanced enterprises.
- Environmentally Friendly Products: Demand for low-pollution, low-volatility products is rising; companies can capture market share through technological upgrades.
