CoQ10 99% CIF-Los Angeles market moved in a contained fashion in April 2026, with a marginal uptick. March showed a small month-on-month decline, but March briefly firmed before the market settled into a narrow trading range as steady CIF arrivals and balanced domestic output reduced cost-push and discount pressures. The overall tone remained subdued, with muted spot enquiries and limited urgency among buyers and sellers, keeping momentum restrained into the weeks of April. Demand dynamics were mixed: distributors and wholesale hubs stayed soft, with spot activity thin in major hubs, while domestic toll manufacturers and formulators remained steady; processors supplying the remaining share ran at moderate rates with comfortable inventory cover. Importers on CIF terms continued to support flows, covering the bulk of domestic demand and moving through gateways without delay. Near-term outlook points to stability, aided by balanced import flows, feedstock quotes, and logistics costs, though shifts in CIF arrivals or spot interest could alter the balance.
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.
