The current situation means that the additives market state is changing dynamically. Part of the changes in the volume of demand and supply is caused by the fluctuations in the volume of production, which are typical for this time of year, and are related, among other things, to the increased demand for medicines and food supplements in autumn and winter.
The effects of extreme weather conditions have been felt in Japan, among other places, where a dangerous typhoon has affected both the lives of individuals as well as the operations of major companies. The unusually hot and dry summer, on the other hand, significantly hampered the transport of goods in Germany, where river water levels were extremely low for many weeks.
But, the most important question is still unanswered: Can Europe keep the lights on? Following current events, one cannot help thinking that skilled market participants should always be prepared for new challenges. Not surprisingly, soaring gas prices and economically crippling shortages over the winter would pose a threat not only to individuals, but also to many industries. And as the longer the turmoil in the market continues, and the higher the costs, the more many will buckle under the pressure of constant increases. The situation is forcing market participants to recalibrate. This includes keeping up with the latest news, which would definitely help with strategy management.

Recently, spot prices for Methionine have slightly fallen despite concerns about production costs. Current prices reported by market experts vary.

Currently, the Vitamin C price in the European market is relatively stable and lower than in China. As every year, we expect the price to increase in the fall and winter, which is related to the increased production of medicines and supplements during this period.

But do not be fooled: The future remains unpredictable, and as we know from the events of recent years, major challenges often come as a surprise, forcing a quick response.
