Caprolactam Grade Ammonium Sulfate Leads Market (Apr 10–16, 2026) Amid Tight Supply

🔷 Market Overview

During April 10–16, 2026:
   •    Caprolactam-grade ammonium sulfate increased to $260–$266/ton
   •    Coking-grade ammonium sulfate declined to around $218–$219/ton
   •    Supply remained stable overall, but high-purity material tightened
   •    Buyers showed stronger interest in caprolactam-grade product

👉 The market clearly shifted toward higher-quality ammonium sulfate.

🔷 Why Caprolactam Grade Stands Out

Compared to coking-grade material, caprolactam-grade ammonium sulfate offers:
   •    Higher purity and consistency
   •    Better performance in fertilizer blending
   •    Stronger acceptance in export markets
   •    More stable pricing even in weak market conditions

This week, limited supply due to plant maintenance further supported price strength.

🔷 Supply and Demand Analysis

Supply side:
   •    Caprolactam plants reduced output due to maintenance
   •    No inventory pressure among major producers
   •    High-quality product availability tightened

Demand side:
   •    Southeast Asia demand remained stable
   •    Buyers preferred reliable, higher-grade ammonium sulfate
   •    Brazil demand still weak, affecting low-end products more

👉 Result: Caprolactam-grade remained firm while lower grades weakened

🔷 Price Trends (USD)

   •    Caprolactam-grade FOB China: $278–285/ton (↑)
   •    Granular ammonium sulfate: $255–270/ton (↓)
   •    Coking-grade equivalent: ~$218/ton (↓)

👉 Premium grade continues to show stronger price resilience

🔷 Downstream Market Insights

   •    Compound fertilizer operating rate: ~47% (↓)
   •    Buyers cautious due to high raw material costs
   •    Purchasing mainly based on immediate needs

Despite softer demand, high-quality ammonium sulfate maintained strong acceptance.

🔷 Market Outlook

Looking ahead:
   •    Caprolactam-grade ammonium sulfate is expected to remain firm
   •    Supply may increase after maintenance, but demand remains supportive
   •    Lower-grade products may continue under pressure
