During the third quarter of 2025, the glucosamine prices in the USA reached 9253 USD/MT in September. The decline in prices this quarter was influenced by stabilized raw material availability, easing pressure on supply chains, and moderate inventory levels among key distributors. Weak domestic demand in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical segments further contributed to the downward pricing trend. Additionally, fluctuations in transportation costs and competitive pricing from alternative suppliers reinforced the slight reduction, even as production costs remained steady.
During the third quarter of 2025, the glucosamine prices in China reached 3126 USD/MT in September. The sharp decline in prices was primarily driven by excess domestic supply and lower export demand.

Q3 2025:
During the third quarter of 2025, the glucosamine price index in Europe reflected moderate softness. Declining demand in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, coupled with high inventory levels among distributors, led to downward price adjustments.

Latest News and Developments:
Glucosamine is a natural sugar that exists in liquid form around the joints. This amino sugar is also used by the body to make other chemicals that build tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. It is available in the form of N-acetyl glucosamine, glucosamine hydrochloride, and glucosamine sulfate. On an industrial scale, glucosamine is obtained from chitin, which is found in crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. There are several steps in the production process, such as raw material processing, chitin deacetylation, hydrolysis, purification, concentration, and packaging. Glucosamine is used to treat osteoarthritis, glaucoma, joint pain, jaw pain, interstitial cystitis, and multiple sclerosis. It inhibits the onset of joint issues, encourages normal bone formation, lowers inflammation, and helps the body produce more cartilage and fluids around joints.
