The Vitamin B6 market experienced a slight weakening during the second half of 2025, primarily owing to weak demand and high selling activity by suppliers looking to liquidate their stocks. As a result, the market registered a decline in prices throughout this period, as indicated by a lack of balance in terms of available supply and actual demand requirements of various end-use industries. On a global front, supply trends remained relatively stable, with Chinese players maintaining their dominant position in terms of overall market supply. However, the emergence of new players in this market added another dimension of increased competition, further adding to the weakening market trends. Demand trends remained weak throughout this period, as buyers indicated a need-based approach in terms of demand. By the close of the period, Vitamin B6 pricing was observed to have stabilized after this weakening trend, though overall market sentiments remained low. Trade activity remained low, and no disruption in supply was noted.

The global Vitamin B6 market exhibited a weakening trend during Q2’25, driven primarily by persistent oversupply conditions and subdued downstream demand across major regions. In the Asia-Pacific, particularly China, continuous production at high operating rates led to significant inventory accumulation, prompting aggressive price reductions to stimulate buying interest. Despite stable logistics and smooth export operations, weak procurement from international buyers limited market recovery. In Europe, similar bearish sentiment prevailed as high inventory levels and consistent inflows from Asian exporters created a buyer-dominated market. Demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors remained lackluster, with minimal restocking activity and cautious purchasing behavior. North America mirrored this trend, where reliance on imports amplified the impact of global oversupply. Elevated domestic inventories and deferred buying patterns from end-use industries further pressured the market. Although the quarter began with slight stability supported by balanced supply-demand conditions, the absence of strong consumption triggers led to a sharp correction by June, establishing an overall soft global outlook.
