China Soya Lecithin Prices Rise 2.1% in July on Tighter Supply and Firmer Soybean Costs

Jonathan Stroud 10-Aug-2026
China’s Soya Lecithin Non-GMO Liquid Grade FOB Tianjin market strengthened in July 2026, with prices rising 2.1% month on month to USD 1,200/MT, as firmer soybean-derived feedstock economics and a temporary production interruption supported seller pricing. Soybean meal prices in China increased 6.27% during July, reflecting firmer soybean-crushing economics. Meanwhile, Gushen Biological Technology Group, a major non-GMO soybean processor with reported annual soy-lecithin capacity of around 2,000 MT, underwent a maintenance shutdown at its Dezhou, Shandong facility, tightening prompt availability. Food, bakery, confectionery, nutrition and animal-feed applications continued to provide a stable demand base. Looking ahead, August prices are expected to remain relatively firm but could moderate as soybean availability remains ample and competing vegetable-oil supplies limit further cost escalation. A stronger recovery in September and October is possible if festive-season food production, export enquiries and soybean-derived feedstock costs strengthen.
