Prices moved upward through the quarter as buyers across the European distribution chain faced firmer replacement costs for imported material. Availability of well specified feed and food grade material stayed limited, which restricted the volumes offered to non contract purchasers. Steady procurement from feed premix blenders, food fortification processors and pharmaceutical manufacturers absorbed the parcels that became available. Distributors kept inventories lean, which reduced flexibility for buyers seeking prompt delivery. Suppliers showed little willingness to discount given the tighter prompt market, reinforcing the upward tone through the period.

During the third quarter of 2026, the vitamin B2 prices in the USA reached 23,700 USD/MT in September.

Europe Vitamin B2 Price Trend

Q3 2026:

The vitamin B2 price index in Europe moved upward through the quarter, supported by firmer replacement costs for imported material and steady demand from feed, food and pharmaceutical users. Germany, the region's principal trading and processing market, recorded firmer quotations as buyers maintained regular procurement despite higher supplier offers. France followed the same direction, with processors paying more for well specified material as prompt availability stayed restricted. European consumers depend substantially on imported volumes, so firmer offers in supplying markets pass quickly into landed costs. Availability of high purity grades suitable for pharmaceutical use stayed limited, and only a small number of qualified suppliers can serve large contracts. Purchasers therefore secured forward coverage rather than relying on spot deliveries, which added to the firmness of quotations. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available to non contract buyers. Documentation and quality requirements for feed and food grade material lengthened lead times and encouraged earlier ordering. Demand from premix blenders and fortification programmes remained resilient despite the firmer cost base.

North America Vitamin B2 Price Trend

Q3 2026:

The vitamin B2 price index in North America moved upward during the quarter, reflecting firmer replacement costs and steady downstream demand.

Regional requirements are met in large part by imported material, leaving buyers exposed to movements in overseas quotations and freight charges. Availability of high purity grades stayed limited, which restricted the volume offered into the spot market. Distributors kept inventories conservative, which reduced flexibility for buyers seeking prompt deliveries.

Latest News and Developments:

• September 2026: The U.S. Department of Commerce published guidance for implementing Section 232 tariff adjustments on specialty pharmaceuticals and associated ingredients. CBP issued the updated guidance as CSMS # 70054007. I couldn’t confirm that riboflavin falls under these duties. Riboflavin is classified in HTS Chapter 29, which is a reporting category under the rules.
   
• May 2026: EFSA’s FEEDAP Panel published an opinion in the EFSA Journal (Vol. 24, Issue 5) on a feed additive, riboflavin 80% (vitamin B2) produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC SD-8628 for all animal species (Amyris Inc). The opinion bears on how many approved fermentation-based supply routes there are for feed-grade B2.
   
• April 2026: A Presidential Proclamation was issued under Section 232 imposing tariffs on patented pharmaceuticals and associated ingredients. The proclamation was issued on April 2, 2026. The tariffs are in effect from July 31, 2026. B2 is probably not affected as a generic vitamin, but I couldn’t verify its coverage.

Product Description

Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is a water soluble vitamin of the B complex group of essential micronutrients. Its molecular formula is C₁₇H₂₀N₄O₆, and it consists of a substituted isoalloxazine ring system linked to a ribitol side chain; its coenzyme forms, flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide, are derived from it in the body. The traded product is a yellow to orange yellow crystalline powder, moderately soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol, with low volatility and a sensitivity to light that calls for opaque packaging. As the precursor of the flavin coenzymes, it participates in oxidation reduction reactions central to energy metabolism. The animal feed industry is a major outlet, where it is added to premixes for poultry, swine and aquaculture. Food manufacturers use it for the fortification of cereals, dairy products and beverages and as a yellow colourant in certain formulations. Pharmaceutical producers use it as an active ingredient and colourant in multivitamin preparations, dietary supplements and tablet formulations. Industrially, riboflavin is commonly produced by microbial fermentation using strains such as Ashbya gossypii or Bacillus subtilis.
