Latest sorbitol price trend
Prices for sorbitol have trended down gradually, reflecting more comfortable availability across producing regions.
Periods of firmer pricing have usually followed supply disruptions or strong seasonal demand, while softer months reflect comfortable inventory positions across the chain.
Looking ahead, the balance of risks is two-sided: feedstock costs and freight remain the swing factors, while new capacity, if commissioned on schedule, would cap sustained increases.
