Streptomycin sulfate prices softened across the major markets through 2025 and into early 2026. In China, the dominant producer, the average eased from USD 178/KG in the first quarter to USD 170/KG by the fourth, a decline of about 4.5% on oversupply and cheaper fermentation feedstock. Streptomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic active pharmaceutical ingredient made by fermenting Streptomyces griseus, used mainly to treat tuberculosis and other bacterial infections. The largest pull comes from anti-tuberculosis formulations, followed by veterinary medicine and agricultural use. Its price moves with a clear set of drivers. Glucose and corn fermentation feedstock costs, plant capacity and operating rates, regulatory compliance, and the pace of anti-infective demand all feed into it. Ample capacity and softer feedstock kept the market on a gentle downward path through 2025.
The balance of supply and demand for streptomycin sulfate through the rest of 2026 leans soft. Producer cost floors have eased with cheaper glucose and fermentation feedstock, and ample Chinese capacity keeps the market well supplied. Demand from anti-tuberculosis programmes is steady, supported by public-health initiatives, but not strong enough to lift prices. The main downside risk is a further drop in feedstock costs alongside fresh capacity. The main upside risk is firmer corn and glucose values, lifted by the higher freight that followed the mid-year disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, which would raise cost floors across regions.

Expert Market Research: Your Source for Real-Time Streptomycin Sulfate Price Intelligence
Expert Market Research tracks streptomycin sulfate prices continuously across every major producing and consuming region, explaining not just that prices moved but precisely why. We trace causation through glucose and corn fermentation economics, plant capacity, regulatory compliance, and downstream demand in anti-tuberculosis, veterinary, and agricultural use. Our forecasts draw on feedstock economics, trade flow data, and plant capacity utilisation across all reporting regions. Contact Expert Market Research today for streptomycin sulfate pricing data, bespoke market analysis, and strategic procurement advisory.
Anti-tuberculosis formulations take the largest share, where it treats active and drug-resistant TB, followed by veterinary medicine and agricultural use. Anti-infective demand drives most of the consumption.
The Q1 2026 average was USD 165/KG in China, USD 185/KG in the United States, USD 195/KG in Germany, and USD 170/KG in India, mostly on a contract to FOB basis. Germany remains the highest-priced market.
The global average eased from USD 192/KG in Q1 2025 to about USD 186/KG in Q4, a full-year decline of around 3.1%, as cheaper feedstock and ample Chinese capacity outweighed a brief mid-year spike.
Three factors dominated: cheaper glucose and corn fermentation feedstock, ample Chinese capacity, and steady but not strong anti-tuberculosis demand that left the market well supplied.
The global average is expected in the USD 172 to 188/KG range for the rest of 2026, assuming cheap feedstock and ample supply persist while public-health demand stays steady.
Germany sits at the top on compliance and energy costs, the United States holds a firm middle on quality premiums, India firms on active production, and China prices lowest on dominant low-cost capacity.

Prices respond mainly to glucose and corn fermentation feedstock costs, plant capacity, and anti-infective demand. Regulatory compliance and freight shifts can amplify short-term moves across regions.
China dominates production and exports through large fermentation capacity, with India an active producer, while the United States and Germany rely partly on imports. Concentrated supply means any capacity change ripples across markets within one to two quarters.
Buyers can use quarterly trends and forecasts to time contracts, choose between fixed-price and index-linked supply, and build cover when fermentation feedstock costs look set to rise. Regional price gaps also help teams weigh alternative supply geographies when local material turns costly.
