In November 2025, Pyridine prices in the United States fell slightly. Steady production kept supply abundant, and muted buying interest pressured spot levels. Output rates remained stable, supported by moderate inflows of feedstock acetaldehyde and balanced operations at chemical plants. Exports showed cautious stability, with varied trade routes and strong overseas demand helping to offset risks. Investment in infrastructure and digital systems also supported performance. Procurement activity remained cautious, leaving sellers with softer signals in a balanced but quiet market. Demand stayed steady, driven by agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and industrial intermediates. The rebound in construction and automotive activity helped coatings and specialty chemicals, while agrochemical formulations and pharmaceutical intermediates saw consistent use. Vitamin B3 production also held firm, supported by pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and animal feed. Looking ahead, year-end inventory cuts, seasonal slowdowns, and competitive international pricing are expected to push Pyridine prices lower into early 2026.
Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility.
Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
