1. Vitamin A & E: Price Volatility & Production Updates

Vitamin A prices dropped to 85 CNY/kg, driven by expanded capacities from Wanhua, Kexing, and Kingdomway:cite[5]. BASF’s VA production is set to resume in April 2025, but supply remains tight, fueling market uncertainty. Meanwhile, Vitamin E saw a price rebound (135-140 CNY/kg) due to seasonal procurement and delayed BASF production (mass output by mid-April):cite[5].

2. Spotlight on High-Demand Vitamins

• Vitamin B1: Stable pricing with rising demand in feed additives:cite[5].
• Vitamin D3: Up 135% since 2024, driven by export demand:cite[5].
• Folate: +8% MoM growth due to pharmaceutical stockpiling:cite[5]:cite[7].
• Nicotinamide: Steady demand amid R&D innovations in anti-aging applications:cite[1]:cite[9].

3. Critical Supply Constraints

Vitamin B12 faces severe shortages after a key Ningxia supplier halted operations, while new entrants lag in scaling production:cite[2]:cite[4]:cite[6]. Vitamin K3 prices remain firm due to raw material cost surges:cite[5].

4. Key Strategies for Distributors

• Stockpile Vitamin E and B1 to leverage short-term price rebounds.
• Partner with certified suppliers for nicotinamide and folate to ensure quality:cite[7]:cite[9].
• Monitor BASF’s production timelines to anticipate VA/VE market shifts:cite[5].
