United States Vitamin E DDP Price Trend Analysis (2025)

This chart tracks Vitamin E prices in the United States from January to August 2025. Prices began at $18/kg in January and remained relatively steady through May, with only slight fluctuations. From June onward, prices dropped significantly, falling to $14.50/kg in June, $14.00/kg in July, and reaching $11.00/kg in August.

For purchasers, this steep mid-year decline may reduce cost pressures and create opportunities for spot purchases or renegotiated contracts. Nutritionists may view this trend as easing formulation costs, particularly in poultry and swine diets where Vitamin E is an essential antioxidant. The sharp drop could be linked to increased global production, reduced raw material costs, or weaker downstream demand. If imports increased or demand from competing sectors softened, this may also explain the market correction.

Will purchasers take advantage of current low levels by locking in forward contracts?
Could nutritionists leverage these price reductions to adjust inclusion rates more flexibly?
