Market Supply Tightens and Amino Acid Prices Rise Amid National Safety Inspections

currently what we can see from the market : Following two recent chemical plant explosion incidents in Shandong and Gansu, national environmental and safety inspection teams have intensified supervision across all hazardous-related industries. Authorities are requiring comprehensive inspections of facilities involving fire, dust explosion, and toxicity risks, along with strict controls on equipment conditions and production parameters.

As a result of these ongoing inspections, major amino acid producers in China have announced temporary shutdowns for maintenance, ranging from 15 to 21 days over the past week and the coming weeks.

Consequently, market supply has tightened, and we are observing price increases across key products. In particular, L-Lysine HCl and L-Threonine prices have risen by approximately USD 30–50/MT.
