China Melamine Market News In July.2025

Production: The monthly output was 110,200 tons, down 17.73% month-on-month.

Demand: Domestic demand is sluggish and businesses are cautious in purchasing.

In August, the average spot price of melamine in China was 5,110 yuan/ton, up 2.28% month-over-month and down 17.44% year-over-year. In the first half of the month, driven by the urea market, market sentiment warmed, downstream inquiries and market entry increased, and companies’ shipments improved.

Furthermore, due to the centralized shutdown and maintenance of some plants, industry capacity utilization fell to a year-to-date low. Overall, the market was relatively active, and some companies suspended purchases or restricted sales, driving prices steadily upward. Market growth slowed in the second half of the month. With the resumption of previously overhauled equipment, industry capacity utilization gradually rebounded, weakening the supply-side positive factors.

Furthermore, due to large-scale events, downstream enterprises in some areas temporarily halted operations, resulting in a contraction in demand and a loosening of the supply-demand structure. Furthermore, raw material prices fluctuated frequently, leading downstream players to adopt a cautious wait-and-see approach. New orders from some companies fell short of expectations, leading to price fluctuations and ultimately a volatile market trend.
