Global Black Pepper Market Faces Price Volatility
The global black pepper market has experienced sharp price fluctuations during the summer of 2025. Reduced harvests in key producing countries, especially Vietnam and India, combined with rising energy and transportation costs, have placed significant pressure on the supply chain.

As a result, export availability has declined, pushing prices higher across international markets. Analysts suggest that these conditions may persist through the end of the year.

Rather than relying on a single origin, companies are seeking multiple supply partners to ensure stability and continuity.
