Global Magnesium Stearate Prices Surge on Higher Production Costs, While India Remains Largely Insulated

Gabreilla Figueroa 14-Aug-2025

Magnesium Stearate USP in the Indian domestic market is expected to maintain a largely stable outlook in the coming months, supported by consistent demand from pharmaceutical and food & beverage sectors. Procurement is likely to align with steady production schedules, while buyers may adopt cautious purchasing to match inventory levels with immediate needs. Downstream consumption trends and timely order placements from excipient and food preservative applications are anticipated to sustain balanced market conditions, preventing significant volatility and keeping sentiment moderately positive across the forecast period.

Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility. Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
