During the third quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in the USA reached 2510 USD/MT in September. The market in the USA experienced upward pressure driven primarily by tightening domestic inventories and a pick-up in demand from pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers. Freight and logistics constraints raised landed costs for certain suppliers, pushing procurement toward larger domestically stocked producers and reducing spot availability.
During the third quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in China reached 2315 USD/MT in September. The Chinese market showed a bullish pattern as domestic producers adjusted output amid tighter feedstock availability and higher internal industrial consumption. Export interest from regional buyers, coupled with an uptick in demand from the animal feed and personal care sectors, reduced domestic sell-side inventories and supported price acceleration.
During the third quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in Germany reached 2370 USD/MT in September. The market trend was upward as manufacturers faced tighter upstream supply and selective allocation toward strategic customers. Demand from pharmaceutical and specialty chemical users persisted at healthy levels, which reduced working inventories and strengthened supplier negotiating positions. Energy and operational cost considerations influenced some European producers to optimize production runs, thereby limiting incremental spot availability.
During the third quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in Malaysia reached 2470 USD/MT in September. Malaysia registered a contrasting movement as prices eased relative to regional peers, reflecting the restoration of factory throughput and improved raw material cadence for local producers. Increased output and targeted commercial promotions by several suppliers improved spot availability and relieved immediate procurement pressure for regional buyers.
During the third quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in South Korea reached 2583 USD/MT in September. South Korea experienced a mild softening in market levels as a result of improved domestic supply and moderated demand from key downstream industries. Several processors optimized production schedules and increased readiness to supply spot volumes, which expanded buyer options and reduced upward momentum. At the same time, strategic inventories held by major purchasers tempered immediate re-buying urgency.

During the second quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in the USA reached 2352 USD/MT in June. In Q2, the US market exhibited constructive demand recovery following end-user restocking after winter seasonality, while feedstock cost pressures were beginning to transmit through supply chains. Sellers adopted firmer stances in response to higher procurement costs and selective factory maintenance that reduced short-term output options.
During the second quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in China reached 2196 USD/MT in June. Chinese demand in Q2 exhibited cautious procurement as downstream formulators monitored global price signals and raw material availability. Local producers faced incremental cost inflation for inputs and energy, prompting a measured rise in domestic offers. Export flows were impacted by prioritization of domestic contracts, which reduced surplus volumes available for overseas buyers.
During the second quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in Germany reached 2264 USD/MT in June. The market experienced an adjustment driven by persistent industrial demand for excipients and increased regulatory scrutiny that affected raw material sourcing. Producers and distributors factored higher compliance and handling costs into pricing decisions, while some refiners scheduled maintenance activities that temporarily constrained output.
During the second quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in Malaysia reached 2515 USD/MT in June. The market witnessed relatively elevated local offers supported by steady regional demand and occasional upstream tightness in certain fatty acid grades used in production. Export demand from nearby formulation hubs and contractual commitments to regular customers limited available spot volumes.
During the second quarter of 2025, the magnesium stearate prices in South Korea reached 2650 USD/MT in June. South Korean prices were influenced by robust demand from pharmaceutical and electronics-grade lubricant applications, combined with constrained immediate supply from regional producers. Domestic manufacturers prioritized long-term contracts with strategic customers, which reduced spot liquidity and supported higher prevailing levels.

Europe Magnesium Stearate Price Trend
Q3 2025:
The magnesium stearate price index in Europe during Q3 2025 was shaped by sustained demand from pharmaceutical and specialty manufacturing sectors and constrained spot availability due to planned plant maintenance and qualification schedules. Sellers reflected higher handling and compliance costs in offers, while distributors adjusted order patterns to secure continuity, reducing immediate market liquidity. Import parity and cross-border logistical premiums elevated landed costs for smaller buyers, encouraging larger processors to lock in supply through contract renewals.
Q2 2025:
During Q2, manufacturers resumed higher throughput and regulatory sourcing requirements tightened acceptable inputs. Maintenance windows at several regional facilities reduced immediate supply flexibility, supporting higher offer levels. Buyers began to prioritize continuity and first-tier supplier relationships, which limited spot liquidity and encouraged contract renewals at firmer terms. Additionally, cross-border logistics and compliance costs were increasingly incorporated into purchase decisions.

Magnesium Stearate Industry Analysis
The global magnesium stearate market size reached USD 634.3 Million in 2025. By 2034, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,039.5 Million, at a projected CAGR of 5.64% during 2026-2034. The market is primarily driven by the sustained demand from pharmaceutical formulation and nutraceutical manufacturers, expanding personal-care and household product production, and evolving regulatory and quality compliance.
Latest News and Developments:
- December 2025: A new study found that the hydration state of magnesium stearate plays a more significant role in dry-powder inhaler performance than its fatty acid composition. Researchers evaluated samples with varying stearic-to-palmitic acid ratios and hydration forms, blending them with lactose and tratinterol hydrochloride to create DPI formulations. While fine particle fraction consistently rose with higher magnesium stearate levels, changes in fatty acid ratio had minimal effect.
Product Description
Magnesium stearate is a fine, white to off-white powder composed primarily of magnesium salts of stearic and palmitic fatty acids. Chemically, it is a metal soap formed from the reaction of magnesium ions with long-chain fatty acids, which yields a compound with lubricating and anti-adherent properties. Its physicochemical characteristics include low solubility in water, hydrophobic surface behavior, and good thermal stability under typical processing conditions used in pharmaceutical and polymer manufacture. Industrially, magnesium stearate is widely used as a lubricant and flow aid in tablet and capsule formulation, as an anti-caking agent in powdered blends, and as a release agent in molding and extrusion processes. It is also employed in personal-care formulations to improve texture and dispersibility, and in certain polymer and rubber applications to enhance processing and surface finish. Regulatory acceptance for pharmaceutical and food applications depends on specified purity and heavy-metal limits, and it is typically supplied to customers with quality documentation to support formulation and compliance needs.
