Ivermectin Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

United States paid the most for ivermectin in Q2 2026: USD 448.00/KG, up 3.0% from USD 435.00 in Q1.

Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone produced by fermenting Streptomyces avermitilis to yield avermectin, then hydrogenating the fermentation product to reach the final active ingredient. It is one of the most widely used antiparasitic compounds in both human and veterinary medicine worldwide.

Veterinary demand, particularly livestock deworming formulations for cattle, sheep, and swine, accounts for the majority of global volume, with human formulations for conditions like river blindness and scabies representing a smaller but steady secondary market.

India and China host the bulk of global bulk API fermentation and hydrogenation capacity, giving both countries a structural cost advantage over Western manufacturers who typically import intermediate or finished API for formulation.

A buyer choosing between Brazil and United States in Q2 2026 faced a price gap of roughly 25%, the widest split among the regions in this report. Local production economics and import exposure explain most of that difference.

Key Price Drivers

• Livestock deworming demand, the largest single end use by volume
• Fermentation and hydrogenation capacity utilisation across major Indian and Chinese producers
• Human antiparasitic treatment demand, a smaller but steady secondary market
• Regulatory and quality compliance costs, which affect Western formulator sourcing decisions

Ivermectin Price Forecast for 2026

Expect steady gains across all four markets through H2 2026 as veterinary demand continues its seasonal build into deworming season.

India and China should retain their cost advantage given established fermentation infrastructure, though the gap to Western markets should narrow modestly.

Any disruption to fermentation feedstock supply chains would be the key risk to watch given the specialised nature of avermectin production.

H1 2026 closed with the 4 tracked markets averaging a 4.2% increase move quarter on quarter. That trajectory should hold into H2 unless one of the cost or demand drivers above shifts materially.
