The methionine market strengthened on October 30 as overseas maintenance reduced imports
Oct 31, 2026

On October 30, 2026, the domestic solid methionine market remained firm. Maintenance at overseas facilities reduced import availability, while domestic manufacturers controlled output and maintained prices. Market quotes for solid methionine generally rose to RMB 24.8–25.5/kg.

Among manufacturers’ quotes, Evonik raised its price to RMB 26/kg; NHU and Ziguang maintained quotes at RMB 25.5/kg and were delivering against orders.

The combination of reduced import availability and output controls by domestic manufacturers means buyers need to monitor both prices and delivery arrangements. Manufacturer quotes do not fully align with the market price range, so actual purchasing decisions should also take specific quotes and delivery terms into account.

In the short term, solid methionine prices are expected to remain high. Further price movements will depend on the progress of maintenance at overseas facilities, the availability of imports, and domestic manufacturers’ pricing and delivery arrangements.
