logo Phosphorus & Derivatives Market: Overview

Phosphorus is a combustible non-metal and generally has two allotropes: white phosphorus and red phosphorus. Phosphorus derivatives include phosphoric acid, phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentachloride, phosphorus tribromide, sodium hypophosphite, tributyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, and the like. The industry's rapid expansion is due to increased demand for fertilizers, detergents, food sector, water treatment chemicals, metal finishing, and halogen-free flame retardants. The main demand drivers for phosphorus and derivatives such as phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus pentachloride, adenosine triphosphate, ammonium phosphate, and purified phosphoric acid are driven by increasing demand for water treatment and the difficulty in development and adoption of halogen-free fire retardants (HFFR).

logoCovid-19 Impact:

Most industries have been hit by the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, but the fertilizer business has shown the resilience of its supply chain during the crisis. Fertilizer usage has increased significantly. The uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic can make forecasting growth beyond the agricultural year more difficult than usual. Most of the world's economies have been forced to comply with government-imposed measures, causing disruptions to food chains and supply networks and affecting the fertilizer industry.

logoPhosphorus & Derivatives Market: Growth Drivers

  • Increased applications of phosphorus and derivatives to drive market growth

The global phosphorus & derivatives market is expanding rapidly with increasing demand for fertilizers, detergents, food, water treatment chemicals, metal finishing, and non-halogen flame retardants. Water treatment demand is the main driver of the demand for phosphorus and its derivatives, such as phosphorus tribromide, phosphorus pentachloride, adenosine triphosphate, ammonium phosphate, and purified phosphoric acid. Many pyrotechnics such as fireworks and flares use the element phosphorus. In addition, it is used in the metallurgical sector to produce pesticides, industrial oils, and metal alloys such as phosphorous brass. As a phosphating agent and ingredient in some beverages, phosphoric acid is used to clean metals. As a result, the growth of numerous applications is expected to accelerate the market expansion during the forecast period.

logoPhosphorus & Derivatives Market: Restraints

  • Associated drawbacks to hinder the market growth

Eutrophication, often known as the overgrowth of algae and large aquatic plants, is caused by excess phosphorus. High phosphate levels can also cause algal blooms, producing toxins that are dangerous to human and animal health. These drawbacks further hamper the growth of the market.

logoPhosphorus & Derivatives Market: Opportunities

  • Adoption of halogen-free flame retardants and increased usage across the electric vehicle

The development and adoption of halogen-free flame retardants (HFFR) and the use of biofuels continue to improve product applications and increase revenue opportunities for global phosphorus & derivatives market participants. In addition, the increasing use of phosphorus in electric vehicle batteries such as rechargeable lithium iron phosphate batteries will further expand the future growth of the phosphorus and derivatives market.

logoPhosphorus & Derivatives Market: Segmentation

The global phosphorus & derivatives market has been segmented into type, applications, food, end-use, and region.

Based on type, the market is classified into ammonium phosphate, industrial phosphate, purified phosphoric acid, phosphorus chloride, phosphorus pentoxide, phosphorus pentasulfide, and others. In 2021, the ammonium phosphate category dominated the global market.

Based on application, the market is classified into fertilizers, detergents, water treatment chemicals, metal finishing, flame retardant materials, and others. In 2021, the fertilizers category dominated the global market.
