# WPC80 now level with MPC85 and dragging whey lower

> European WPC80 prices have fallen to the level of MPC85, removing the price incentive for buyers to switch to milk protein. The weakness has spread from WPC80 to the wider whey market, including sweet whey powder and commodity-grade WPI, as producers push to sell before year end.

## Why it matters

With the switching incentive gone and spot availability high in Eastern Europe, whey protein prices face further pressure into Q1. Feed buyers of whey-based ingredients may gain negotiating leverage, though the analysis sees no bottom yet.
