Market Overview:
The global phosphorus market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for phosphorous from various applications such as detergents, water treatment, flame retardants, batteries, chemical intermediates and fertilizers. In terms of type, white phosphorus is expected to lead the market during the forecast period owing to its growing demand from various end-use industries. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in terms of both value and volume during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
a nonmetallic element that is a member of the nitrogen family.
White phosphorus:
White phosphorus is a highly reactive, crystalline form of phosphorus that occurs in nature as a by-product of phosphoric acid. It has a purity level greater than 99.5%. White phosphorus can be produced either through the contact process or the thermal process. In the contact process, white phosphorus is obtained from (sulfuric) acid and phosphate rock; whereas in the thermal process it is derived from phosphoric acid and calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate.
Red phosphorus:
Red phosphorus is the commercial name for an inorganic chemical compound. It is a highly toxic and inflammable material, which can be easily obtained from fire logs or coal. Red phosphorus has several industrial uses including production of matches, fertilizers, plastic materials and others.
Application Insights:
Detergents was the largest application segment and accounted for over 30% of the total market volume in 2017. Phosphorus is used as an active agent in detergent formulations to remove oil, grease, dirt and soil from fabrics. The rising population across developing countries including India & China is expected to have a positive impact on the detergent industry thereby driving demand for phosphorus-based products over the forecast period.
Water treatment application segment is anticipated to witness significant growth rate during the forecast period owing to stringent regulations regarding water pollution and disposal of waste water effluents from industrial units across developed countries including U.S., UK, Germany etc. Growing environmental awareness among consumers coupled with increasing stringency of regulations regarding discharge of pollutants into waterways are expected drive demand for phosphorus-based chemicals in wastewater treatment applications during upcoming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for a major share of global production owing to availability of low-cost labor, raw materials, and feedstock. China is one of the leading producers as well as consumers in this region due to presence of large chemical industry base.
The demand for phosphorus compounds from Asia Pacific was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to grow at a rate of 6.6% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing fertilizer consumption coupled with growth in agricultural output especially across emerging economies such as India and China which contributes significantly towards economic growth worldwide has led these countries being called upon by world leaders “Growth Generators†thus boosting product demand across end-use industries such flame retardants, detergents, batteries etc.).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for fertilizers in the agriculture sector is expected to drive the growth of phosphorus market over the forecast period.
- Rising population and subsequent increase in food demand is projected to boost the use of phosphorus-based fertilizers, thereby propelling market growth.
- Stringent regulations on emission and discharge of pollutants are likely to create opportunities for phosphorus recovery and recycling technologies, which will subsequently spur market expansion.
- Growing awareness about benefits of using organic fertilizers is anticipated to propel uptake of phosphorous-based products, positively impacting market growth over the forecast period.
