Description: BCPC Balchem November 05, 2025
Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ: BCPC) manufactures specialty performance ingredients for a broad set of markets-including human nutrition, animal health, and industrial sterilization-organized into three operating segments: Human Nutrition & Health, Animal Nutrition & Health, and Specialty Products.
In FY 2023 the company generated roughly $2.2 billion in revenue, with an operating margin of about 12 % and a 5 % year-over-year increase driven primarily by higher demand for its vitamin K2 and microencapsulation platforms in functional foods and dietary supplements. A key sector catalyst is the accelerating consumer shift toward fortified, “clean-label” products, which is expanding the addressable market for Balchem’s spray-dried powders and lipid delivery systems. On the animal side, tighter regulations on antibiotic use are boosting adoption of chelated minerals and choline-based feed additives, supporting the segment’s double-digit growth trajectory.
