Phosphate Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The growing demand for phosphate fertilizers is notably driving the phosphate market growth, although factors such as health hazards associated with phosphate-based fertilizers may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the phosphate industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Phosphate Market Driver

The growing demand for phosphate fertilizers is one of the key drivers supporting the phosphate market share growth.  Along with potassium and nitrogen, phosphorus is used extensively in agricultural and horticultural applications. Also, it is critical for seed formation and the growth of roots in plants. Simultaneously, the market offers different variants of phosphate fertilizers to rectify phosphorus deficiency in the soil. These fertilizers enrich the soil by providing the essential nutrients needed for plant growth. According to The World Bank Group, the value-added by agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors across the world was estimated to be $2.233 trillion in 2008, which rose to $3.339 trillion in 2018. This increase in the value-added due to development in the agriculture sector will drive the demand for fertilizers and boost the use of phosphate fertilizers during the forecast period.

Key Phosphate Market Trend

The production of ammonium phosphate using green phosphoric acid is another factor supporting the phosphate market share growth. Green phosphoric acid is obtained by the purification of phosphoric acid, which involves pretreatment, purification, and concentration. In the solvent extraction process, tributyl phosphate (TBP) that is mixed with kerosene is used as an extractant. The process yields wet phosphoric acid. In recent years, the purification of wet phosphoric acid to produce food- or pharma-grade phosphoric acid has received significant importance. Green phosphoric acid contains 28%-54% of phosphoric acid. It is commonly used as a food-grade quality fertilizer in food and beverage applications. The rising production of green phosphoric acid because of its properties, such as high purity and effectiveness, will drive the global phosphate market during the forecast period.

Key Phosphate Market Challenge

Health hazards associated with phosphate-based fertilizers is hindering the phosphate market share growth. The over-use of phosphate fertilizers can lead to severe side effects. For instance, single superphosphate is an inorganic chemical with high (75%-95%) water solubility. The excess use of such fertilizers can contaminate groundwater and surface water resources. Meanwhile, an increase in the number of phosphate-based fertilizer production units has resulted in serious environmental problems due to the release of toxic contaminants into the air, water, and soil. The phosphate-based fertilizer industry has been recognized as one of the most polluting industries. Therefore, certain environmental hazards are associated with these fertilizers, which are likely to impede the growth of phosphate-based fertilizers during the forecast period.

This phosphate market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
