During the initial week of October 2025, minor upward movements were registered in global biodiesel markets in the major regions of the world, with mixed but balanced fundamentals and continued trading activity. The US biodiesel market continued to show signs of firmness with consistent feedstock supply and steady blending activity. In Europe, the biodiesel market was balanced with a sufficient inventory position and smooth logistics in place to support continued blending operations. The South Korean market appeared to have reasonable domestic production levels in conjunction with timing of import arrivals to meet expectations, and this, along with moderate spot buying, was providing slight upward price support. All regions were maintaining reasonable trading activity as blending mandates and expected buying patterns were supporting limited market activity in all regions. Overall market sentiment remained cautiously positive in nature as traders reacted to unchanging demand and stable feedstock cost dynamics. Biodiesel markets are expected to remain stable for the near term, unless a change in feedstock supply trends or any discretionary buying occurs, both of which could set short-term price direction.
