Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, ascorbic acid prices declined as oversupply conditions persisted amid sluggish pharmaceutical demand. Lower procurement from food and beverage producers added pressure, while competitive exports to overseas buyers remained limited. The ascorbic acid price index reflected reduced momentum in health supplement consumption and stable feedstock availability, which further dampened recovery prospects. Although production levels remained consistent, restrained downstream purchases created a bearish environment in the regional market.
Europe: In Europe, ascorbic acid prices fell sharply, weighed down by weak demand from dietary supplement manufacturers and the food fortification industry. Inventories remained high as buyers adopted a cautious stance, limiting replenishment activity. The ascorbic acid price index highlighted sluggish traction in pharmaceutical consumption, coupled with easing raw material costs that reinforced downward pricing trends. Import flows from Asia increased market competition, further suppressing producer margins and weakening overall sentiment across the region.
South America: In South America, ascorbic acid prices decreased as demand from the food and beverage sector weakened alongside subdued industrial applications. Domestic production levels were steady, but ample supply in distribution channels outpaced consumption. The ascorbic acid price index showed declining support from the pharmaceutical industry, with export opportunities failing to provide relief. Seasonal demand fluctuations and competitive international sourcing added to bearish trends, leading to reduced market confidence.
North America: In North America, ascorbic acid prices registered a slight decrease as weaker demand from dietary supplements and functional beverages curtailed upward momentum. Adequate domestic inventories and stable production activity ensured sufficient supply across the quarter. The ascorbic acid price index reflected restrained pharmaceutical procurement, while food processors reduced buying volumes in line with moderated consumer demand. Import competition and cautious purchasing strategies by distributors further contributed to the mild downward trend in regional pricing.
