Supply and Demand Trends for Amino Acids, Vitamins, and Feed Phosphates - Agri-Food Americas 2025
Elliot Holgate, Expana’s market reporter for Feed Additives - Latin America, and Kevin Bull, Expana’s senior forecast analyst, teamed up at Agri-Food Americas 2025 today to outline the regional and global drivers behind key feed additives. Holgate provided a snapshot of some industry amino acid and vitamin market dynamics, while Bull gave a glimpse of the price forecasting capacity Exapana now provides for methionine and vitamin E.
Holgate demonstrated the highly concentrated nature of lysine production, noting that three producers account for more than one-third of global capacity and 76% of lysine capacity is located in China. “Capacity has grown 74% between 2019 and 2024, but consumption has declined by 2%. Chinese lysine production and capacity increases far outweigh global consumption growth and this has resulted in anti-dumping investigations in the EU, Brazil and US," he said, adding that since anti-dumping duties were implemented earlier this year in Europe, Chinese FOB prices in Europe dropped.
