Synthetic Vitamin E Global Market Overview 2025 | Vitamin E Prices Surge to 5-Year High as BASF Delays Operations and China Producers Undergo Maintenance

Dublin, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Synthetic Vitamin E – A Global Market Overview” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The global synthetic vitamin E market faced a significant downturn in 2023, with total demand plunging by 19.5% to US$1 billion, influenced by low prices and a destocking cycle. However, 2024 saw a market rebound due to severe supply disruptions and geopolitical issues. A significant event was the BASF Ludwigshafen plant fire on July 29, 2024, leading to a Force Majeure declaration impacting vitamin E production.

Synthetic vitamin E is a pivotal ingredient across multiple industries, celebrated for its antioxidant capabilities and critical biological functions. In the animal feed sector, it plays a crucial role in boosting health, immunity, and reproductive efficiency, particularly in poultry, swine, and aquaculture. As a dietary supplement, synthetic vitamin E promotes immune function, cardiovascular health, and shields against oxidative stress.

The food and beverage industry leverages its preservative qualities to extend the shelf life of products by preventing fat and oil oxidation. In cosmetics and personal care, it’s prized for its skin-nourishing and anti-aging attributes, commonly found in moisturizers, sunscreens, and anti-wrinkle formulations. Its adaptability and stability ensure synthetic vitamin E remains a staple in health and consumer products alike.

BASF announced that operations won’t resume until July 2025. Other producers like Zhejiang NHU, Jilin Beisha, and ZMC’s planned maintenance further exacerbated supply constraints. This resulted in a sharp price surge, with vitamin E prices peaking in nearly five years by August 2024.

Forecasting from 2024 to 2030 predicts a negative CAGR of 1.3% in value terms due to expected price adjustments. Yet, consumption is forecasted to grow steadily, reaching 129,000 metric tons by 2030.
