U.S. Glucosamine Prices 2025, Size, Trend, Graph, Chart and Forecast

North America

During Q4 2024, Glucosamine prices in North America, particularly in the USA, followed a steady downward trend, declining by 1.06% from $7,530 per MT in October to $7,450 per MT FOB New Jersey in December. This consistent price decrease resulted from multiple factors. Initially, demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries provided some support, but prices continued to soften. US importers had strategically stockpiled supplies ahead of China’s Golden Week holiday, contributing to a bearish market sentiment. After the holiday, as supply chains normalized, price pressure intensified, further accelerating the decline.

Logistical disruptions at Shanghai and Los Angeles ports, along with labor disputes, including the ILA strike affecting East and Gulf Coast operations, initially raised concerns. However, these challenges were not enough to reverse the overall downward trend. Routine procurement continued despite anticipated U.S. tariff adjustments, while Chinese exporters remained competitive in their pricing. By December, domestic suppliers engaged in destocking efforts, coinciding with softer Chinese export prices, giving U.S. buyers additional leverage.

As the year closed, the market’s downward momentum persisted. While demand from pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors remained stable, it was insufficient to counteract the bearish conditions, leading to further price deterioration through the end of the quarter.

APAC

In Q4 2024, glucosamine prices in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region continued to decline, dropping from $5,605 per MT in October to $5,425 per MT FOB Shanghai in December. The quarter began with China’s Golden Week holiday, temporarily halting market activity. Although international buyers secured supplies in advance, prices maintained a downward trajectory, with further erosion observed after market operations resumed. Lower freight rates and improved logistics costs were not enough to counteract the continued price decline.

By December, systematic destocking initiatives were implemented across the supply chain ahead of Christmas, adding to the downward pressure. Manufacturers and suppliers actively adjusted inventory positions, further depressing prices. Despite relatively stable demand from both domestic and international buyers, procurement trends failed to prevent continued price softening. As a result, the declining prices presented increasingly attractive buying opportunities throughout the quarter.

Europe

In Q4 2024, glucosamine price negotiations in Germany reflected a consistent downward trend. Despite an initial period of stability, supported by preemptive stocking ahead of China’s Golden Week and steady demand from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, prices continued to weaken throughout the quarter.

Bearish sentiment persisted into November, despite stable end-user consumption. While German buyers benefited from falling prices, merchants faced increasing pressure on profit margins due to continuous price erosion. By December, the downward trend intensified as European distributors reduced inventories, while Chinese exporters offered increasingly lower prices. These favorable conditions encouraged strategic purchases from Asian suppliers.

Although market fundamentals remained relatively stable, with consistent consumption in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications, the prevailing bearish forces led to sustained price declines through the end of the quarter.
