Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Price Trend Q3 2025
In Q3 2025, the global Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) market reflected a broadly bearish sentiment, with distinct downward movement across Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Feed Grade (50% Powder), Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Food Grade (50% CWS Powder), and Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Food Grade Oil (98% USP/FCC) segments. Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Feed Grade prices were heavily pressured by oversupply, muted demand from feed and premix manufacturers, and competitive domestic offers in China, resulting in sharp price fluctuations of 35–37% during the quarter. In contrast, Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Food Grade (50% CWS) experienced milder declines of 6–8%, shaped by cautious purchasing from food, beverage, and nutrition sectors alongside steady production rates that maintained ample availability.
Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) Food Grade Oil (98%) also trended downward, with fluctuations around 5–6%, driven by softer demand in dietary supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical applications but supported by manageable inventory levels that kept declines from deepening further. Stable raw material costs and consistent operating rates helped maintain supply stability across all categories despite weakened demand pressures. Looking ahead, shifts in global restocking cycles, export competitiveness from Chinese producers, and recovery trends in feed and fortified food sectors are expected to guide Vitamin E (Alpha-tocopherol) pricing dynamics into the next quarter.
