Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) Price Trend Q3 2025

In Q3 2025, the global Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) Food Grade (>96%) market reflected a largely stable sentiment, characterized by balanced supply conditions and only mild downward pressure on prices. Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) Food Grade (>96%) price trend was influenced by consistent production rates in China, adequate inventories, and subdued purchasing from pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food-fortification sectors, keeping overall price fluctuations within a very narrow 0-2% range during the quarter.

Stable raw material costs and predictable manufacturing output supported market steadiness, while restrained procurement and moderate export activity limited any potential upward movement.
