In 2025, Corn Gluten Meal prices reflected global corn market trends and changing trade patterns. In Asia, prices were under pressure early in the year, particularly in China, where domestic crop challenges increased reliance on imports. Trade deals, including agreements with Vietnam, slightly improved sentiment, but abundant stocks kept price growth limited.
European prices remained relatively stable throughout 2025. Imports and exports moved cautiously, with low liquidity in Ukraine and Russia. Stable harvests in France and Germany and sufficient supply across the continent helped keep Corn Gluten Meal prices steady. Minor upticks were observed when feed sector demand strengthened.
In North America, the U.S. market experienced significant volatility. High corn planting and projections for record yields created large inventories, which kept Corn Gluten Meal prices soft for much of the year. Temporary rallies occurred toward the end of the year due to export demand and seasonal buying, but overall, prices reflected the large supply and cautious domestic demand.

In 2024, Corn Gluten Meal prices showed a mixed trend across regions due to varying supply and demand factors. In Asia, particularly China, prices started the year higher but gradually eased mid-year as domestic production was stable and import demand slowed. Feed manufacturers continued to manage inventories carefully, and while weather disruptions occasionally tightened supply, the overall market remained slightly soft.
Europe experienced moderate price stability in 2024. Corn supply remained sufficient, supported by stable harvests in Ukraine and France. European buyers were cautious amid fluctuating freight costs and global price pressure, keeping Corn Gluten Meal prices mostly steady, though occasional demand from feed and livestock sectors provided minor upward movements.
North America faced downward pressure for most of the year due to record corn harvests and high inventories. Farmers and feed producers held large stocks, while domestic demand growth in livestock feed was moderate. Export activity helped support prices in some months, but overall, market movement was restrained, leading to steady to soft pricing throughout the year.

Corn or maize grain is steeped in water combined with sulphur dioxide. This makes maize kernel coarsely ground and thus, germs are separated from the endosperm, which further goes through screenings to extract and separate fibre from starch and proteins slurry, followed by centrifugation to finally separate starch fraction from protein (gluten) and form Corn Gluten Meal.
