Summer is the perfect time to take the pulse of the refined glycerine market and get ready for smart decisions in September. Discover below a summary of the last publication of Oleoline Europe – Refined glycerine prices remain high, with different grades starting to converge in value. August spot availability is tight, supporting firm prices across all qualities. Suppliers are holding their ground, while buyers hesitate, judging current offers too expensive. Availability may improve in the coming weeks, but most grades still face supply challenges. China – Prices remain mostly stable. Some producers may restart operations in the coming days or weeks, raising concerns of increased supply and potential price drops. Demand remains weak, with most buyers in a wait-and-see mode. USA – Strong demand, especially for bulk GMO grade, and tightening supply keep upward pressure on prices. With non-GMO tariffs from Malaysia and Indonesia at 19%, many buyers are securing volumes ahead of Q4, further tightening South-East Asian supply. While a few U.S. producers are offering selectively for year-end, most remain cautious, and buyers are reluctant to commit at today’s price levels. Global picture – With buyers mostly waiting and sellers holding firm, the refined glycerine market is in a holding pattern at historically high price levels.

When Jonathan Heming joined HBI, his first key assignment was to establish a branch in China — an essential market in the glycerine industry. After many encounters (and some memorable culinary experiences!), he had the great fortune to meet my current partner, Fred Wang. What started as a joint venture soon grew into a fully-fledged subsidiary. Over the past 20 years, HBI China has continued to thrive and expand, becoming a key pillar of our global operations and a preferred avenue for many in the industry to export their by-product. Today, as we celebrate this remarkable 20th anniversary, Jonathan want to extend his warmest thanks to our fantastic team in Nanjing: Fred, Stephanie, Benson, Brian, Catherine, Cindy, Grace and Sophia. Your hard work, dedication, and energy are the reason this has been a success. Here’s to the next 20 years of growth, innovation, and keeping
