Very quiet market. Some manufacturers indicate that they have summer plant maintenance, and in general, the manufacturers are not very keen on offering anything anyway, with some exceptions. There is still material in the trading and reseller market, and it has been coming down in price slowly, bit by bit, over the past weeks\/months. Q3 is well contracted.<\/p>\n

Vitamin A 1000<\/p>\n

A gradual decrease in price is evident, even though prices have already reached a very low level. Some cover was taken for Q3 some time ago already, so there is not a lot of new demand right now, which means that every seller is quite keen to move some volume and adjust the price accordingly. At the same time, most of the manufacturers are still not offering at all in an attempt to stop the price decline, although one manufacturer has been a bit more vocal about expanding market share long-term.<\/p>\n

Vitamin D3 500<\/p>\n

Suppliers are keen to hold up prices and limit availability, and at the same time, buyers are holding off as much as they can on significant new purchases, as they feel the market price is too high. Interesting dynamics are at play, and so far, that has led to a relatively stable price at a relatively high level, although some slight decline has been seen lately in several regions. Q3 is partly contracted still.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B2 80%<\/p>\n

Very stable and quiet market, and prices have not shown any movement recently.<\/p>\n

D-Calpan<\/p>\n

After a period of strong price decline and forward cover, the price is now weakening again as we speak. Strong sales pressure and ample supply throughout the pipeline are making buyers cautious, and this is leading to a price decline. Q3 is mostly contracted already.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B3<\/p>\n

Stable to weak market, with limited new demand and some sales pressure seen at the supplier side. Long-term contracts were already concluded some time ago, and a lot of buyers remain on the sidelines at the moment. Q3 is mostly contracted.<\/p>\n

Biotin<\/p>\n

A very quiet and stable market, with cover contracted ahead to sometimes even early 2027.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C 35% mono<\/p>\n

There is still a firm tone to the vitamin C market, and prices have gone up recently. Suppliers have managed to reduce the volume in the pipeline, and due to seasonal demand, the balance has been in favour of the sellers, and prices have firmed. Most contracts have been concluded by now, and it is expected that the market will become quiet and relatively stable in the summer period. Q3 and a good portion of Q4 have been contracted already due to the earlier very low price level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Highlights:Vitamin E 50%: The market remains quiet, with slowly declining reseller prices, limited manufacturer offers, and Q3 largely…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":539313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[103,61,60],"class_list":["post-539312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-health","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
