# Methionine Prices Surge Amid Supply Constraints While Other Amino Acids Stabilize | Tridge Insights

> Methionine prices have surged on supply constraints tied to petrochemical supply chain issues and planned plant maintenance, with prices reported doubling in Europe and Asia and rising in the USA. Lysine, threonine, tryptophan and valine prices are stable or moving little, with buyers largely contracted for Q2 and part of Q3. Some supply relief is expected from new capacity in late Q2 and Q3.

## Why it matters

Tight methionine supply and high prices raise premix and feed formulation costs for buyers, while contracted demand for other amino acids limits broader price momentum. Expected new capacity could ease methionine prices later in the year.
