Asia Pacific
The Psyllium Husk market in the Asia Pacific region saw a decline of 6.49% in the first quarter of 2025. This drop in prices was largely due to the fresh crop harvest which increased the supply of Psyllium Husk in the market. As a result, suppliers were able to meet demand with a more abundant supply which led to a natural decline in prices.
Furthermore, the first quarter coincided with the Chinese Lunar New Year, a period known for a slowdown in production and trade across the region. The holiday often results in reduced activity including delayed purchasing and slower manufacturing cycles. This seasonal shift contributed to more controlled pricing and limited price fluctuations.
The general market sentiment in the region was calm with no sharp shifts in demand or supply and prices remained within a predictable range. Overall, the Psyllium Husk market in the Asia Pacific region was stable during the first quarter of 2025, despite the minor price decline due to the seasonal transition and new crop supply.
