1. PRICE AND PRODUCTION TRENDS AND BUSINESS Forecast Report Cetane Improver Production and Price Trend 01

2. Cetane Improver Production and Price Overview Historical Growth Rates and Past Performance Global Cetane Improver production witnessed consistent growth, rising from 120,000 MT in 2022 to 135,000 MT in 2023. By 2024, Cetane Improver production reached 145,000 MT, and estimates for 2025 place it at around 150,000 MT. Much of this growth stems from increased demand for high-efficiency diesel blends and tighter fuel emission norms. Cetane Improver production in Asia alone contributed more than 40% of total global volumes. Cetane Improver production expanded fastest in India and Southeast Asia, where domestic capacity was scaled up to meet rising needs. Cetane Improver price stood at $2,450/MT on average in 2025. Temporary supply disruptions in Q2 pushed the Cetane Improver price to $2,465/MT. Mid-year, stabilizing feedstock costs kept the Cetane Improver price within a tight range of $2,440–$2,460/MT. By year-end, Cetane Improver price showed minimal volatility. The ongoing expansion of blending terminals also supported global Cetane Improver production. With infrastructure scaling across regions, Cetane Improver production is expected to maintain this trend. Cetane Improver price dynamics remained regionally influenced. 02 Request a sample at - https://datavagyanik.com/reports/global-cetane-improver-market-size-production-sales-average-product-price-market- share-import-vs-export-united-states-europe-apac-latin-america-middle-east-africa/

3. Key Factors Impacting Cetane Improver Prices in 2025 In 2025, raw material pricing and freight rates played a pivotal role in Cetane Improver price trends. Nitrate-based chemicals used in Cetane Improver production saw price hikes of 7–9% due to supply tightness in Q1. This directly influenced the average Cetane Improver price, which hovered around $2,450/MT for much of the year. Port congestion in East Asia contributed to longer lead times and higher landed costs, keeping Cetane Improver price elevated into Q2. Several producers in Europe underwent maintenance shutdowns, causing temporary shortages and lifting the local Cetane Improver price above $2,470/MT in some instances. Demand from fuel refiners stayed firm due to mandatory diesel upgrades, further propping up Cetane Improver price. While producers tried to mitigate costs through local sourcing, volatility persisted. The average Cetane Improver price remained consistently high, with limited seasonal dips. New entrants in the market were unable to significantly impact pricing trends, and established players maintained firm offers throughout the year. Global market imbalances ensured that the Cetane Improver price remained a sensitive and closely tracked metric by buyers. 03

4. MARKET SEGMENTATION Segmentation by Geography The Cetane Improver market in 2025 remains segmented by application, region, and formulation. Within applications, over 70% of demand comes from on-road diesel applications including fleet vehicles, commercial transport, and public buses. Non- road sectors such as rail, marine, and agriculture accounted for nearly 18% of consumption. Regionally, the Asia-Pacific region dominates, representing 43% of global demand. China, India, and South Korea are among the fastest-growing markets due to expansion in diesel transportation networks. Europe maintains a stronghold, with significant demand for low-temperature diesel additives that require higher cetane boosting. The U.S. market, while more stable, continued to grow due to biofuel blending mandates. By composition, 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) continues to dominate with an 86% market share. Alternative nitrates are under development but not yet commercially scaled. When segmented by price point, premium Cetane Improver products with higher cetane uplift capacity (>10-point increase) sold at $2,500–$2,580/MT, while standard products ranged from $2,420–$2,460/MT. The distribution structure is evolving, with direct-to-refinery supply still the norm but increasing engagement with specialized chemical distributors. There’s also a growing segment for ready-to-use fuel blends with pre-dosed Cetane Improver. The segmentation reflects a maturing market with regional adaptation, formulation-specific development, and end-use diversification continuing into 2026 and beyond. 04
