Biotin prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 6.1% in H1 2026, climbing from USD 65.5/KG in Q1 to USD 69.5/KG by Q2 as firmer synthesis intermediate costs and growing animal feed premix and dietary supplement demand supported the market following the Q4 2025 seasonal softening. Globally, the average rose from USD 53.285/KG in Q1 to USD 56.480/KG in Q2, a 6.0% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 56.80-61.50/KG is expected, with continued firming on Middle East supply disruptions and growing feed and nutraceutical sector demand.
Biotin, also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is produced commercially through a multi-step chemical synthesis from fumaric acid and thioethylamine or through fermentation-based routes using engineered microorganisms. The largest pull comes from animal feed premix formulations supporting hoof health in dairy cattle, egg production in laying hens, and coat quality in companion animals. Additional demand comes from dietary supplement and nutraceutical formulations for hair and nail health, pharmaceutical formulations for biotin-responsive genetic disorders, cosmetic hair care formulations, and food fortification in infant formula and functional foods. Fumaric acid and thioethylamine synthesis intermediate costs, feed and supplement sector demand, and regional production capacity all feed into the price.
The balance of supply and demand for biotin through H2 2026 leans moderately firm. Synthesis intermediate costs firmed from Middle East supply disruptions affecting chemical feedstock supply chains. Animal feed premix and dietary supplement sector demand is growing with expanding livestock production and consumer health awareness.
The main upside risk is a sustained synthesis intermediate cost increase alongside accelerating animal feed and nutraceutical market growth. The main downside risk is continued Chinese biotin production capacity additions and competitive fermentation supply that limits global price recovery.
