The German Vitamin E market fell 2.6% in the first week of November due to oversupply and weak global demand. Asian suppliers, especially Chinese producers, kept their offers soft and tocopherol feedstock conditions stable with no significant change in production costs. European inventories are still high from previous restocking and importers are not buying aggressively, so the market is quiet. Logistics through Hamburg were smooth, and imports are steady despite low buyer interest. Downstream sectors like pharma, nutraceuticals and cosmetics are consuming normally but not enough to absorb the surplus. However, market is expected to pick up later in the upcoming weeks in November as importers start to stock up for winter. Balanced supply and disciplined selling should help to stabilize the market. Although conditions are soft, seasonal demand expected to support a small upturn in Vitamin E prices towards the end of the month.
