Glowlit users interest in Vitamin E50 increased last week. The increased user interest (31% more than last week) in the Glowlit community seemed to follow an announcement by Royal DSM regarding a maintenance shutdown of its Vitamin E plant in Sisseln, Switzerland during parts of January and February 2021. DSM also announced that its Vitamin E production facility in China, part of a joint venture called Yimante between DSM and Nenter, is expected to compensate for the volume gap resulting from the closure in Sisseln. So far, the sentiment in the global Vitamin E market seems to agree, with prices logged around the world confirming stability in the market.
