Rising popularity of high-protein diets and protein-maxxing has lifted demand for whey protein dietary supplements. US dairy processing capacity constraints and specialized filtration bottlenecks have tightened availability, pushing whey protein prices firmly upward.
Biesheuvel Knoflook reports that Germany's rising own garlic production increases competition in a key market. The company expands puree processing and emphasizes year-round quality to adapt. Labor shortages continue to pressure cost structures, affecting supply costs.
In the second half of 2025, garlic oleoresin prices moved in a mixed but generally firm direction as global spice-oil markets reacted to broader volatility in vegetable oil and agricultural commodities. Rising prices for major edible oils, driven by strong demand, created upward cost pressure across the extraction industry. This environment raised processing and freight expenses for oleoresin producers, which affected the final pricing.
Garlic related supply factors also played a role. While the U.S. market stayed steady thanks to diversified garlic sourcing away from China, several producing regions such as India saw weaker farm returns and supply-demand imbalance. Lower profitability for fresh garlic farmers often limited high quality raw material availability for processors, which added some uncertainty to oleoresin supply. At the same time, tariff changes and shifting trade flows in particular the movement of the U.S. away from certain Asian suppliers made global procurement slightly more complicated and increased risk premiums.
Despite these pressures, demand from food manufacturers remained stable. Many buyers continued to rely on oleoresins to avoid fluctuations in fresh garlic markets, which helped support consistent purchasing during H2.

In the first half of 2025, garlic oleoresin prices experienced a gradual decline, mainly influenced by the weakening prices of fresh garlic and garlic powder globally. As raw garlic became cheaper in key producing countries like India, China, and Egypt, the overall cost of production for garlic-derived products, including oleoresin, dropped. Since garlic oleoresin is extracted from dehydrated garlic products, the lower input costs from garlic powder directly impacted its pricing.
In India, a large surplus of fresh garlic led to aggressive processing activity. With garlic being abundantly available, processors had easier access to raw material, which supported higher production of oleoresin and created a supply-heavy market. This put additional downward pressure on prices. In Egypt, the initial tightness in garlic supply eased by late Q1, giving processors more confidence to scale up operations. The resulting increase in processed output further weighed on oleoresin prices.
China, being a major supplier of garlic-based ingredients, maintained a stable production pace. Although there were some concerns over weather, expectations for a strong harvest in June kept buyers cautious. This anticipation limited aggressive purchasing, further reducing market momentum and keeping oleoresin prices soft. Overall, the high availability of raw garlic and processed forms like garlic powder contributed to a bearish trend for garlic oleoresin during H1’25.
