📦 Valine holds firm on steady exports, while API projects advance steadily
Supply discipline supports amino acids as selective tightness appears in APIs
🧬 Amino Acids – Stable Offers, Export Support
Valine producers are delivering normally, with factory offers remaining stable. Trade market prices are in the range of USD 1.67–1.73/KG. As downstream buyers have largely completed earlier stock building, new bookings have slowed. However, overseas demand remains solid, providing support to the market. In the short term, prices are expected to stay firm, with close attention on inventory levels and production dynamics.
💊 APIs – Capacity Expansion & Firm Colistin
Zhejiang Shenzhou Pharmaceutical has received environmental impact assessment approval for its capacity expansion project, covering 20 MT/year of abiraterone acetate and 5 MT/year of norethindrone, with total investments of approximately USD 0.73 million and USD 0.58 million respectively.
Meanwhile, colistin sulfate supply is slightly tight, with prices holding firm at USD 14.36–14.62/KG. Short-term price stability is expected.
