Latest soy lecithin price trend
The soy lecithin market has been on a gently rising path through the review period, punctuated by short spells of softness.
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.
