CoQ10 prices in the United States showed a steady rebound in early February, recovering after a period of slight softness at the start of the year. Market participants attributed the recovery to cautious procurement by nutraceutical and pharmaceutical buyers combined with stable production and import flows, which helped maintain predictable inventories and prevent abrupt fluctuations. Throughout January, trading remained largely range-bound, with discretionary channels such as cosmetics and personal care continuing to adopt a conservative approach to restocking. In early February, renewed buying from core sectors provided upward momentum, signaling a gradual return of market confidence while overall sentiment remained measured. Looking ahead, prices are expected to maintain moderate upward pressure, influenced primarily by buyer procurement patterns and any shifts in import timing. While sudden large-scale replenishment could create additional gains, the combination of steady supply and selective buying suggests that the market will likely continue with a balanced, gradually strengthening trend.
Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility.
Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
