Cellulase Enzyme prices on the U.S West Coast remained under pressure in the first half of June 2026, declining by 1.24% and extending the bearish trend already seen in May. The continued weakness in the Cellulase Enzyme market was mainly driven by structural oversupply from major capacity expansions at industrial fermentation facilities in Asia, which kept additional volumes flowing into the U.S. market and exceeded short-term spot demand. At the same time, North American textile processing plants and commercial denim bio-washing facilities reduced operating rates during the mid-summer period, resulting in sluggish spot buying and weaker support for Cellulase Enzyme prices. In May 2026, Cellulase Enzyme CFR Los Angeles averaged USD 5,665 per tonne, down 0.96% from USD 5,720 per tonne in April, as steady imports from Denmark and China ensured normal contract availability. Demand remained mixed, with feed mills and pulp processors offering the strongest support, while textile-related demand stayed weak. Production economics remained favourable due to ample availability of corn-derived dextrose, soy nutrients, and starch substrates. Looking ahead, Cellulase Enzyme prices are expected to stay soft through summer unless stronger autumn procurement improves market balance.
