For the Quarter Ending March 2025
North America
In North America, Aloe Extract Powder prices during Q1 2025 appeared relatively soft and moderately stable. While there was no marked disruption in supply or logistics, the seasonal transition from winter to early spring played a quiet but notable role in shaping demand patterns. Personal care brands which are among the main downstream users of Aloe Extract Powder had already secured inventories for their winter formulations. The easing of cold weather resulted in a natural tapering off in demand for moisture-rich formulations.
Additionally, market participants navigated procurement with a sense of caution due to broader discussions around tariff reviews and trade adjustments early in the year. This caused buyers to focus on maintaining balanced inventories without pushing for additional bulk purchases. As a result, overall procurement activity remained measured, and prices trended slightly down but without volatility.
Suppliers maintained steady pricing to remain competitive and keep the market engaged, especially amid the mild slowdown in seasonal demand. The quarter’s outcome reflected a phase of price stability, influenced more by strategic procurement behaviour and less by any direct supply shock or policy intervention.
Asia Pacific
In the first quarter of 2025, Aloe Extract Powder prices in the Asia Pacific region registered a quarterly average decline of approximately 4.65%. This trend was largely influenced by seasonal transition, as the region moved from the colder winter months into early summer. Aloe Extract Powder, which is widely used in the personal care industry for its moisturizing properties, typically sees stronger demand during colder weather. As temperatures rose toward March, the demand from personal care manufacturers began to ease slightly. Additionally, many buyers had already procured sufficient stock in the previous quarter in anticipation of winter production needs which resulted in relatively subdued procurement activity in early 2025.
The market did not face significant supply constraints during this quarter and the smooth functioning of logistics further ensured timely delivery of materials. Although downstream sectors like nutraceuticals and food and beverages maintained their regular demand cycles, the overall pull from personal care producers moderated, which added to the downward pressure. This region also experienced the impact of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which generally causes temporary slowdowns in procurement across parts of Asia, contributing to the softer tone in market sentiment for Aloe Extract Powder from early to mid Q1.
Europe
The European market for Aloe Extract Powder during Q1 2025 exhibited a relatively stable tone, showing no major price spikes or sharp declines. While there is no confirmed regional percentage change available, indicators suggest that pricing followed a balanced trajectory, like trends seen in other regions. As the continent transitioned from winter to spring, the demand for Aloe Extract Powder from personal care and food and beverage sectors remained routine with slight moderation noted in personal care due to seasonal adjustments.
European buyers, who are often meticulous about long-term planning, appeared to have entered Q1 with well-managed inventories, likely built during the final months of 2024 in anticipation of winter product lines. As a result, fresh buying interest was somewhat subdued during the first quarter. Procurement remained strategic, and suppliers maintained consistent pricing to support market confidence and ensure supply chain continuity. While no extreme logistical or cost pressures were observed during the period, the overall tone remained cautiously steady, with downstream sector demand guiding most purchasing decisions.
