According to recent assessment by ChemAnalyst, 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene prices in the Asian market registered a modest increase during the first half of May 2025, building on the upward trend seen in April. The price firming was driven by tightening supply conditions and resilient export demand across key producing regions, particularly China and India, where distinct market forces contributed to constrained availability and supported positive price movement.

•             10-Methoxy Iminostilbene prices in Asia went up in the first half of May 2025, following the supply tightness in April.

•             In China, early export before US tariff hike and reduced production curbed domestic 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene supply, leading to price increase.

•             India saw firm 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene prices due to strong export demand, currency fluctuations and steady domestic consumption from pharma and cosmetic sector.

•             Stable demand from Asia downstream, especially pharma industry, maintained the market balance and supported 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene prices.

•             10-Methoxy Iminostilbene prices will go up in late May as stock shortage, strategic restocking and downstream demand grows.

In China, the 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene market was under pressure in April due to inventory decline and front loading of exports. Chinese manufacturers shipped out earlier to US tariff hike, reducing domestic supply and internal distribution. Meanwhile, industrial activity slowed down as China’s PMI fell to its lowest since December 2023. The decline in manufacturing output reduced 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene production capacity and exchange rate fluctuations prompted price adjustments to navigate US dollar to yuan volatility, adding to the bullish sentiment.

India also followed a similar price trend driven by strong international demand and changing trade dynamics. In April, India’s economic indexes hit a 10-month high, reflecting strong industrial performance and export growth. Orders from major regions like Africa, Europe and Asia picked up, prompting manufacturers to prioritize exports. Rupee appreciation against US dollar influenced local pricing, as exporters adjusted prices to protect margins. Domestically, retail inflation eased, improving purchasing power and supporting steady offtake from pharma, cosmetic and personal care industries. Meanwhile, US policy changes created delays in raw material sourcing, constraining supply and making global players interested in Indian origin material.

In Asia, the 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene demand in April was stable with consistent buying from major downstream sectors. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors remained the main consumers of 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene and kept the market in balance and consumption trend steady. The stability in end-use demand played a big role in supporting the prices despite the external supply issues.

According to market sources, 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene prices will go up in 2nd half of May. Stock shortage may trigger restocking and traders will have good selling opportunities. Also, downstream confidence will drive the demand growth of 10-Methoxy Iminostilbene. With supply tight and consumption steady, the market fundamentals are balanced and will support the price trend in Asian market.
