Price & market indicators
The melamine market is sensitive to construction, including new home builds and renovations. Long term contracts are common in the US and Europe – limiting price fluctuation frequency. The picture in Asia is more changeable. The US has one domestic producer and is therefore reliant on imports. China is a regular melamine exporter.
