Phosphates Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Ammonium, Calcium, Phosphoric Acid, Potassium, Sodium, Others), By Application (Agrochemicals, Food & Beverages, Detergents, Water Treatment Chemicals, Metal Treatment, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032
KEY INDUSTRY INSIGHTS
Phosphates are inorganic minerals that are extracted from mines. They are naturally occurring minerals of phosphorous. In organic chemistry, phosphate or ortho-phosphate is a type of organophosphate. They are significant in medical, biochemical ecological and other sectors. Most of the phosphates are insoluble in water except for sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium and ammonium phosphates. They find applications in pharmaceutical, medical, personal care, cosmetic, agricultural, constructional and many other areas.
Increasing demand for phosphate from various end-user sectors is likely to boost the market growth. Calcium phosphates are widely used in dietary supplements and feeds to ensure proper nutrition and growth. Increasing use of phosphates in packaged food products to preserve and increase the shelf life is expected to positively impact the market. additionally, increasing use of phosphates in water treatment chemicals, detergents, metal treatment and other industrial application shall foster the market growth.
However, phosphate salts like monocalcium phosphates and dicalcium phosphates are slightly higher in cost. Also availability of phytase as alternative for these phosphate is expected to hinder the market growth.
Key Market Driver -
Increasing demand for several application areas.
Key Market Restraint -
High cost of phosphate salts.
