The Vitamin B5 (D-Calpan) market in North America experienced a period of price stagnancy during the second quarter of 2023. Price negotiations in CFR New York saw a decline from $19,500 per tonne to $18,600 per tonne between April and June, indicating a decrease of 4.6% for the quarter. The demand from end-user pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries weakened slightly in the latter half of Q2 in the United States. Additionally, the market saw an abundance of domestic suppliers offering vitamin B5 (D-Calpan) at lower prices, contributing to the overall reduction in prices. Inflation in the country aligned with energy prices, but analysts believe this decrease may be temporary due to supply chain pressures. Despite mixed sentiment on vitamin prices, the nutraceuticals market in the country displayed a varied pattern of activity.
