Europe Threonine Price

Q3 2024:

Despite a number of contributing variables, the threonine market in Europe maintained stable prices in Q3 2024. Strong requirement from the pharmaceutical and animal feed industries, which placed a premium on feed components for the productivity of livestock, as well as a balanced supply-demand dynamic helped the market. Currency variations, particularly the growth of the euro relative to the US dollar, lent stability to trades amid rising import activity. Mid-quarter, a slight decline in feed-grade pricing balanced the market, with overall conditions indicating a positive trend. Seasonality and gradual cost variations played a role, with key market players cautiously navigating the environment for sustained stability throughout the quarter.

Q2 2024:

In Q2 2024, threonine prices in Europe, showed a generally positive trend, with significant price increases driven by augmenting demand from supplements and nutraceuticals sectors. The rise in feedstock corn costs and ongoing logistical constraints, such as high freight charges, further fueled these increases. Supply limitations due to temporary plant shutdowns added pressure, leading to rising prices during the quarter. Although feed-grade prices dipped mid-quarter, they later rose again, while food-grade prices saw a steady decline, with market activity focused on as-needed purchasing.

North America Threonine Price

Q3 2024:

In the third quarter of 2024, the North American threonine market experienced stable pricing for feed as well as food-grade products. The balance was due to steady requirement from the feed industry, supply network disturbances, and essential stock practices by providers. Feed-grade prices were steady, with a slight dip mid-quarter, while food-grade charges saw an upward trend due to strong purchasing activities. Rising manufacturing charges, impacted by cross-border factors and maintenance activities, impacted pricing. Additionally, the weaker US dollar increased import expenses, pushing up overall prices.

By June, prices increased again with rising inquiries and raw material costs. In contrast, food-grade prices climbed in the middle of the quarter, driven by regional demand and tight supplies, before dropping as vendors adjusted production to avoid inventory build-ups, maintaining market equilibrium.

Q1 2024:

In Q1 2024, threonine prices in North America showed a downward trend, particularly in the feed-grade sector, with food-grade prices seeing some recovery mid-quarter. January witnessed subdued demand and sufficient supply, leading to price declines influenced by lower corn costs and high stock levels in exporting countries. As the quarter progressed, food-grade demand increased, supported by adequate inventories. However, by March, prices dropped again due to limited purchasing, ample merchant stocks, and favorable currency and freight conditions, despite overall weak market sentiment.

Product Description

Threonine is an amino acid essential for the human and animal bodies that participate in protein biosynthesis, immune function, and maintain normal physiological functions of digestive organs. The primary application of threonine within the animal industry is as an additive in feed, intended to enhance growth performance and feed efficiency. Additionally, threonine is utilized in human nutrition, amino acid-based pharmaceuticals, and other specialized requirements. The key benefits of threonine mainly cover muscle development, liver disease damage repair, and immune responses.  

There are two primary types of threonine additives: the naturally occurring L-threonine and the chemically synthesized D-threonine. L-threonine is predominantly utilized in both animal and human nutrition due to its relative stability and superior bioavailability. By incorporating threonine into diets, producers can achieve better growth rates in livestock, reduce feed costs, and promote overall health, making it a crucial component in modern nutritional strategies.
