Increasing Demand for Phosphate Fertilizers in Agriculture across the Globe to Boost Market Growth
The increasing demand for phosphoric acid is due to the growth in world population, making the production of phosphoric acid-based fertilizers increasingly important. According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the world population is expected to increase. An increase of another two billion, reaching 9.9 billion in the year 2050. Population growth contributes to the growing need for food, which can be met by growing fertilizer-fed crops. To improve the accuracy and overall functionality of new products, manufacturers have implemented a number of measures. For example, Clariant, a manufacturer of specialty chemicals that can convert gasoline oils into plasticizers, launched phosphoric acid as a catalyst for Polymax 850 in March 2017.
In addition, market participants want to expand the range of phosphoric acid in various pharmaceutical and commercial areas. According to Latest Spending Figures, global healthcare spending has grown over the past 20 years, doubling in real terms to USD 8.5 trillion in 2019 and ranking ninth in 2019 with 8% of GDP, up from 8.5% in 2000. This boom is expected to continue over the forecast period.
Phosphoric Acid Market: Regional Overview
The market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa region.
Expanding fertilizer production to Drive the Market Growth in Asia Pacific Region
The phosphoric acid market in Asia Pacific region is estimated to garner the largest revenue by the end of 2035. The growth of the market is largely attributed to the growing fertilizer production in the region. The fertilizer industry in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 6% over the next five years, leading to steady demand for phosphoric acid for the production of fertilizers such as monoammonium phosphate and trisodium phosphate for use in crops. For example, China accounted for more than 40% of the Asia-Pacific phosphoric acid market in 2019, making it the largest fertilizer producer. Demand in China is expected to be driven by the growth of the consumer industry during the forecast period. India, on the other hand, has numerous chemical production sites that will contribute to the growth of its economy.
In addition, market growth in this area is being driven by an increase in the disposable income of the middle-class population as well as food processing spending. The market is also expected to grow due to growing demand for processed foods in emerging markets like India and China. All these factors are expected to accelerate the growth of the market over the forecast period.

Growing manufacturing and industrial sectors to Propel the Growth in the North America Region
The North America phosphoric acid market is estimated to garner the highest CAGR by the end of 2035. Phosphoric acid is utilized in various industrial applications, including the production of phosphate-based chemicals, detergents, water treatment, and metal surface treatment. The industrial sector's growth contributes to the demand for phosphoric acid in North America. The expanding manufacturing and industrial sectors in North America drive the need for phosphoric acid as a raw material in chemical processes. Phosphoric acid is used in the construction industry for manufacturing cement and phosphate-based building materials. The growth in infrastructure development and construction projects in North America drives the demand for phosphoric acid.
The construction industry in North America is experiencing steady growth, contributing to the increased demand for phosphoric acid in building materials. Phosphoric acid is utilized in the food and beverage industry as an acidity regulator and flavor enhancer. The growing food and beverage industry in North America fuels the demand for phosphoric acid. Continuous research and development efforts have led to technological advancements in phosphoric acid production, improving its quality and cost-effectiveness.
Phosphoric Acid, Segmentation by Application
- Fertilizers
- Feed & Food Additives
- Detergents
- Water Treatments
- Chemicals
- Metal Treatment
- Industrial Use
Amongst these segments, the fertilizers segment in phosphoric acid market is anticipated to hold the largest share over the forecast period. The segment's growth is due to the increasing use of phosphoric acid in fertilizer production. Phosphoric acid is an intermediate in the manufacture of fertilizers.
Fertilizers such as monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP) and trisodium phosphate (TSP) are made from phosphoric acid. Because phosphoric acid is a multifunctional agent for plant nutrition, pH regulation, and disinfecting irrigation equipment, it is an essential ingredient in many fertilizers. For example, in the year 2019, the total agricultural potential of the production area remains about 2 .7 billion hectares, concentrated in Asia Pacific, South and Central America and sub-Saharan Africa. Demand for fertilizers is growing and the world population is growing at about 1.05% per year in 2020, 1.08% per year in 2018 and 1.12% per year to meet the ever-increasing food needs of the world population. This is expected to contribute to the growth of the segment over the forecast period.

Phosphoric Acid, Segmentation by Process Type
- Wet
- Thermal
Amongst these two segments, the wet segment in phosphoric acid market is anticipated to hold a significant share over the forecast period. Wet processes are commonly used in chemical reactions and synthesis, where liquids are used as solvents or reactants. The growth of industries such as pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and fine chemicals contributes to the demand for wet processes. Wet processes often offer greater precision and control over reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and mixing, leading to improved product quality. Industries that require precise manufacturing processes, such as semiconductors, optoelectronics, and microelectronics, rely on wet processes for their production.
Wet processes play a significant role in research and development activities, particularly in the fields of chemistry, materials science, and biology. Wet processes enable scientists and researchers to explore and develop new materials, formulations, and chemical reactions. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, global R&D expenditure reached a total of USD 1.7 trillion in 2019, with North America and Asia accounting for the majority of the spending. Some industries opt for wet processes due to environmental considerations. Wet processes often offer better control and containment of hazardous substances, reducing emissions and environmental impact. This is particularly relevant in industries like wastewater treatment, where wet processes are utilized for water purification and treatment.
