Logistics performance also improved on principal freight lanes, diminishing landed cost uncertainty and enabling distributors to lower buffer margins.Q1 2025:
As per the gelatin price index, there were ongoing price declines. Demand across essential sectors such as food, personal care, and medicine was restricted due to economic instability and a weak consumer outlook. Although output levels decreased, inventory buildup took place due to reduced order activity and pre-election unease. The rising value of the Euro made exports less attractive, particularly in light of mounting global inflation worries. The interplay of weak demand, surplus inventory, and adverse currency exchange rates generated a persistent downward momentum.

Q1 2026:
The gelatin price index in North America reflected moderate growth supported by tightening supply conditions and stable demand from food processing and healthcare sectors. Production remained controlled due to limited raw material availability, while consumption from the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries remained consistent. Buyers followed balanced procurement strategies, ensuring stable market activity. Additionally, firm operational costs contributed to gradual price increases across the region.Q4 2025:
In North America, the gelatin price index trended downward as weakening demand-side fundamentals outweighed supply constraints. Procurement activity from the food and beverage sector slowed noticeably, particularly among confectionery and processed food manufacturers, as buyers adopted cautious purchasing strategies and deferred replenishment. Pharmaceutical demand remained stable but lacked incremental growth, limiting its ability to support prices. At the same time, comfortable inventory positions across distributors and end users reduced spot market urgency.Q3 2025:
During the third quarter of 2025, the gelatin price index in North America exhibited a corrective downward movement influenced by improved raw material throughput and steadier slaughter levels across major processing regions. Although demand from food processors and capsule manufacturers remained steady, higher available volumes moderated urgency buying and reduced transactional premiums. Import parity improvements and relative currency stability curtailed upward pass-through of external costs, enabling domestic suppliers to adjust offers downward to protect volumes.Q2 2025:
As per the gelatin price index, in North America, prices moved lower as slaughter and rendering throughput increased and feedstock cost trends stabilized, easing prior supply tightness. Improved domestic availability led distributors to reduce precautionary premiums and pursue volume sales to restore turnover. Demand from capsule and processed food manufacturers was steady but lacked acceleration sufficient to absorb higher output, prompting more competitive bidding and promotional activity. Import parity changes were modest and did not materially support higher offers, so sellers adjusted pricing to reflect improved visibility and to secure multi-quarter commitments from major buyers.Q1 2025:
A convergence of market stressors led to a noticeable decline in gelatin prices in the United States. Logistics were hindered by severe winter weather, causing a slowdown in purchasing and delivery operations. The early stocking up of goods in anticipation of tariff adjustments on Chinese products played a role in creating an oversupply. Although there was some output from key suppliers, the food and pharmaceutical sectors saw a fall in demand due to worries about labor issues and a lack of consumer enthusiasm.
