Despite sluggish post festive demand, prices of niacinamide firmed up while the costs of raw ingredient trimethylpyridine surged amid reduced production.
Producers of niacinamide will attempt to lift prices to cover the increased production expenses. However, with feed demand sluggish, feed millers will limit buying of ingredients, hence putting a lid on niacinamide prices.
