Manufacturers either overhaul or raise prices, and the VA, VE, and D3 markets rebound

The vitamin market slipped on the downward channel for three months, and finally bottomed out and rebounded. Recently, favorable factors such as manufacturers' price increases and overhauls have flooded in. Downstream companies have been active in replenishment, and transactions in the VA, VE, and D3 markets have risen. Affected by the new crown epidemic, foreign demand has been weak recently, inventory consumption of terminal feed enterprises has slowed down, while domestic demand has not fully recovered, traders have lost money and sold goods. In recent months, the market has been on a long journey to destocking, slumping and summer maintenance. The supply side is also adjusting and shrinking, the number of manufacturers that stop production for maintenance has increased, and the operating rate of factories has fallen.

With the downstream inventory consumption, the replenishment cycle coming, domestic demand has resumed growth, and the positive factors that manufacturers stop reporting price increases have gradually boosted the market.
