Methyl methacrylate US

The weekly ICIS report on the US Gulf (USG) market for methyl methacrylate (MMA) includes monthly contract prices assessed for delivered rail-car and delivered tank-truck.  

To determine what the monthly ranges are, we contact buyers, sellers and traders to get their input on pricing, but also take into account broader factors that influence the market.

The report includes key developments in upstream markets and a bigger picture of developments in end-user sectors.

We also include feedstock prices for acetone and methanol and sometimes add natural gas, ammonia and propylene information, because these costs can greatly influence pricing.

Supply and demand issues have become more important than ever before in what is a tight US MMA market, so we also track plant outages and international trade flows.

Our report seeks to shed light on an opaque market and we have quickly become a benchmark in the US, helping our customers to reach well-informed decisions.
