The Vitamin B2 market witnessed a fluctuating trajectory in the second half of 2025, with a visible price gap forming between European Union and non-EU sourced material. This was primarily due to the impact of regulations in Europe, which affected competition in the region and allowed for a relatively stronger price to be maintained. Outside of Europe, competition in the market was high. New suppliers entered the market, and there was an active push to increase market share. A significant amount of material was directed towards non-European markets. This had a negative impact on pricing, and buyers in these regions saw a decrease in price over the period. As a result of the relatively stronger pricing environment, buyers saw an opportunity and locked in their purchases for longer-term supply instead of a need basis. This had a subsequent impact on trade, and strategies were adapted in response to the cost advantage and availability of competitively priced material. Demand in the market was steady, and there were no significant growth drivers to consume the additional supply.

The global Vitamin B2 market exhibited a stable to mildly firm trend during Q2’25, supported by balanced supply-demand fundamentals and consistent downstream consumption. In Asia-Pacific, particularly China, steady procurement from nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and fortified food sectors, coupled with uninterrupted production and stable availability of fermentation feedstocks such as glucose and yeast, maintained a controlled upward momentum. Export flows remained smooth, reinforcing global supply reliability. In Europe, the market reflected similar firmness, driven by stable imports from Asia, disciplined inventory management, and steady demand from the medical nutrition and supplement industries. Seamless logistics and the absence of freight disruptions further supported market stability. Meanwhile, North America witnessed modest price strengthening, underpinned by consistent pharmaceutical and personal care demand, alongside steady export activity to Europe. Across all regions, suppliers maintained inventory discipline and avoided aggressive stock accumulation, while buyers followed just-in-time procurement strategies. Overall, the market remained well-balanced with limited volatility and a cautiously optimistic outlook.

For industrial scale riboflavin production, various biotechnological processes have been developed. This process includes the utilisation of different microorganisms for biosynthesis of Vitamin B2, which include filamentous fungi such as Ashbya gossypii, Candida famata and Candida flaveri along with the bacteria Corynebacterium ammoniagenes and Bacillus subtilis. The chemical company BASF has installed a plant in South Korea, which specialises in riboflavin production using Ashbya gossypii.
