Agriculture Remains the Backbone - 85-90% of Demand Driven by Fertilizers
Phosphoric acid continues to dominate global fertilizer supply chains, supporting production of DAP, MAP, NPK, and other phosphorus-rich formulations. Agriculture-focused regions such as India, China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East account for nearly 85-90% of total phosphoric acid consumption, reinforcing its indispensable role in crop yield enhancement.
Growing pressure on arable land, climate-resilient farming, and government-backed fertilizer subsidies in emerging markets further strengthen long-term demand. In the food and beverage industry, phosphoric acid maintains a 4-5% contribution, functioning as an acidulant in beverages, jams, jellies, dairy, and processed foods. Smaller but essential application clusters include water treatment (2-3%), metal surface treatment (3-4%), and industrial specialty chemicals (5-6%).
Regional Growth Momentum: APAC, Europe, USA & Saudi Arabia Lead the Next Decade
Asia-Pacific (APAC): Largest and Fastest-Growing Consumer Market
APAC contributes nearly 50% of global consumption, driven by agriculture-led demand and strong industrial uptake.
- China (CAGR 7.7%) remains the world's largest producer and consumer, expanding capacity for fertilizer and food-grade applications while advancing purification technologies for electronics and pharma.
- India (CAGR 7.1%) strengthens its position through fertilizer dependency, integrated phosphate projects, and reduction of import reliance.
APAC's industrial diversification-ranging from detergents and cleaning agents to battery materials-cements its leadership through 2035.
