Global Vitamin K3 Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Vitamin K3 market size is expected to reach $ 138 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 6.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Vitamin K3 vitamin belongs to a family of vitamin K, In general, it is a white or off-white crystallized powder, it will cake after moisture, Soluble in water and hot ethanol, insoluble in ice ethanol, but not soluble in benzene ,ether, and the aqueous solution PH4.7-7. It is stable at room temperature. Easily decomposed when exposed to light, it is sensitive to acidic substances.In 2024, global Vitamin K3 production reached approximately 8.2 K MT, with an average global market price of around US$ 10115 per MT.
The vitamin K3 (menadione) market supply chain starts upstream with basic petrochemical and agricultural commodities—primarily propylene and benzene/xylene routes feeding into intermediates like phthalic anhydride and other aromatics—for synthesizing menadione, which is then converted into more stable, feed-grade forms such as menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB) and menadione nicotinamide bisulfite (MNB). Production is highly concentrated in large chemical and feed-additive complexes, with China dominating global vitamin output (including K3) and a smaller number of European and other Asian producers; these plants run continuous processes, then dry, granulate or encapsulate the material for stability, and ship in bulk bags or drums. From there, product moves through global traders and vitamin blenders into regional premix manufacturers, who incorporate vitamin K3 into customized vitamin–mineral premixes or concentrate blends that are finally sold to industrial feed mills and integrators, where K3 is dosed into poultry, swine, ruminant, aquaculture, and pet feeds.
Market drivers are led by structural growth in animal protein consumption worldwide—especially poultry, pork, aquaculture, and pet food—which pushes demand for feed premixes and additives that support bone health, blood coagulation, and overall productivity in livestock; vitamin K3 remains the standard, cost-effective K source in many feed formulations, supplied largely as MSB or MNB. Rising awareness of animal nutrition, tighter food-safety and animal-welfare regulations, and the professionalization of feed production in emerging economies all reinforce premix usage and stabilize demand, while expansion in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetic applications of vitamin K3 adds smaller but higher-value outlets. At the same time, supply security concerns—given the heavy reliance on Chinese vitamin and amino-acid production—plus environmental and occupational-safety regulation around aldehyde- and aromatic-based synthesis routes influence investment decisions, push some buyers to diversify suppliers, and encourage process innovations such as lower-impurity or chromium-free technologies.
Within the broader feed-additive and specialty-vitamin industry, vitamin K3 typically sits at a moderate gross profit margin level—roughly in the mid-teens to mid-20s percent range.
