China Mono Ethylene Glycol Prices Movement 2026
Mono Ethylene Glycol prices in China stood at USD 614/MT in September 2026 (Q3), moving higher through the quarter. Domestic producers kept operating rates firm while directing part of their output toward export commitments, which trimmed volumes offered locally. Consistent offtake from polyester fiber and bottle grade resin producers across the main consuming provinces supported the market.
Germany Mono Ethylene Glycol Prices Movement 2026
Germany recorded Mono Ethylene Glycol prices of USD 740/MT in September during Q3 2026. Import dependent buyers absorbed firmer replacement costs on cargoes from established overseas origins. As German buyers cover a large part of their requirements through incoming shipments, movements in origin values fed quickly into landed prices at the main ports. Antifreeze blenders and resin manufacturers kept procurement active through the period.
Saudi Arabia Mono Ethylene Glycol Prices Movement 2026
In Saudi Arabia, Mono Ethylene Glycol prices were USD 614/MT in September 2026. Export oriented producers directed volumes toward overseas commitments, leaving a thinner pool of material for regional buyers. Firm operating rates at domestic units supported consistent output, yet prompt availability stayed limited against purchasing interest, with polyester producers in Asia keeping enquiries firm through the quarter.
Brazil Mono Ethylene Glycol Prices Movement 2026
Brazil registered Mono Ethylene Glycol prices of USD 625/MT in September 2026, with prices climbing during Q3. Importers faced firmer replacement costs on cargoes arriving from established supply origins, and these passed quickly into quotations for local buyers. Polyester fiber producers and coolant blenders kept procurement active, while freight and port handling charges added to delivered values for inland customers.

What is Mono Ethylene Glycol?
Mono ethylene glycol, also called ethylene glycol or MEG, is an organic compound of the vicinal diol class with the molecular formula C2H6O2 and the systematic name ethane 1,2 diol. It is a clear, colorless, viscous liquid that is completely miscible with water, hygroscopic and of low volatility. It is commonly produced by hydrolysis of ethylene oxide, which is obtained by direct oxidation of ethylene with oxygen.
Factors Affecting Mono Ethylene Glycol Prices
Several factors shaped Mono Ethylene Glycol prices in Q3 2026. Ethylene feedstock costs fed into producer offers, while plant operating rates determined how much prompt material reached the spot market. Export commitments in China and Saudi Arabia reduced local availability, and import dependent markets such as Germany and Brazil absorbed replacement costs, freight and port handling charges. Demand from polyester, resin and coolant sectors added support.
Supply and Prices Overview - Q3 2026
Supply of prompt material stayed limited relative to buying interest across the covered markets in Q3 2026. Prices stood at USD 528/MT in the USA, USD 614/MT in China and Saudi Arabia, USD 625/MT in Brazil and USD 740/MT in Germany. Firm plant operating rates and export oriented offtake limited prompt material, while importers in Germany and Brazil relied on incoming shipments for much of their requirements.
Mono Ethylene Glycol Price Index
The Mono Ethylene Glycol price index moved upward in every region during Q3 2026. Europe recorded higher values on firmer replacement costs for imported cargoes, North America on firmer feedstock costs, Asia Pacific on firm producer offers, Latin America on import replacement costs, and the Middle East and Africa on export oriented producer offers. Steady downstream demand supported the index across regions.
Mono Ethylene Glycol Market News - Q3 2026
Recent developments in the Mono Ethylene Glycol industry center on bio based production. In February 2025, UPM Biochemicals planned to commence integrated commercial operations at its Leuna biorefinery in Germany, with an annual capacity of 220,000 tons for producing bio based MEG from glucose. In June 2024, Technip Energies and Shell Catalysts & Technologies agreed a technology transfer to speed up commercialization of Bio-2-Glycols technology.
Mono Ethylene Glycol Price Trend - Q3 2026
The Mono Ethylene Glycol price trend during Q3 2026 was upward across all five covered countries. Quarterly offers carried firmer feedstock and replacement costs, while firm operating rates, export commitments and limited prompt availability kept spot quotations elevated. Compared with Q2 2026, prices rose from USD 468/MT to USD 528/MT in the USA, USD 553/MT to USD 614/MT in China, and USD 665/MT to USD 740/MT in Germany.
Future Outlook for Mono Ethylene Glycol
Looking ahead, Mono Ethylene Glycol demand is expected to remain supported by polyester fiber and PET resin consumption across textile and packaging industries. Expanding antifreeze and coolant use in automotive and industrial applications, along with unsaturated polyester resins in construction, marine and composites, should add support. Developments in bio based glycol production may also shape future supply.
Current Demand for Mono Ethylene Glycol
Current demand for Mono Ethylene Glycol in Q3 2026 is led by polyester fiber and resin producers, with bottle grade resin makers in China and antifreeze and resin manufacturers in Germany maintaining steady procurement.
