Americas Methanol Market 2025 Review
Overview of the 2025 Americas Methanol Market
The Americas methanol market in 2025 shifted from a relatively tight, high-priced environment early in the year to a well-supplied and increasingly competitive market by year-end. Early tightness stemmed from several supply interruptions, including Methanex’s Geismar-3 outage, disruptions at Natgasoline, curtailed Trinidad output, and higher port fees that reduced export reliability from the Caribbean. These events constrained regional availability and kept posted methanol prices elevated, with Methanex’s U.S. MNDRP reaching as high as $2.68/gal and remaining flat for several months.
