The vitamin A (VA) market is currently in a stage of market game. It is recommended to closely monitor official maintenance announcements. The one-month window prior to factory maintenance represents the optimal layout timing. The same logic applies to vitamin E (VE). In accordance with the ten-year industry historical pattern, there has never been a market decline during the seasonal maintenance period.
Recently, the domestic VA market has maintained a stable overall performance, with mainstream manufacturers firmly holding price-supporting sentiments while downstream market demand remains weak. Currently, the market quotation for domestic first-tier VA brands stands at RMB 82–85 per kilogram, and second-tier brands are priced at approximately RMB 80 per kilogram. The export quotation for VA 1000 is around USD 22 per kilogram.
The VA market is currently in a stalemate characterized by strong manufacturer price support and sluggish terminal demand, with prices fluctuating within the range of RMB 80–85 per kilogram.
Upcoming factory maintenance schedules and rising raw material costs have underpinned manufacturers’ price consolidation intentions, making a cliff-like price decline highly unlikely. A minor restocking wave is expected to emerge in mid-June, and the improved trading volume is likely to drive a moderate price rebound.
In terms of future market trend judgment, continued tracking of official announcements is essential. The annual period from June to August marks the traditional industrial maintenance season. Market participants are advised to pay close attention to the maintenance duration and affected production capacity ratio of leading manufacturers. Following the release of maintenance announcements, it is critical to observe the inventory destocking pace of downstream feed mills and traders.
A price rebound is almost certain if downstream inventories remain at low levels. The one-month period before the official launch of maintenance is consistently the best layout window, as the market is still in a game phase with forward trend signals yet to be fully released.
