What is Phosphoric Acid?

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is a colorless, odorless inorganic acid commonly used in fertilizers, food additives, and various industrial applications. In its pure form, it is a crystalline substance, but it is typically encountered as a concentrated aqueous solution. The majority of phosphoric acid production employs the wet process, where phosphate rock is reacted with sulfuric acid to produce phosphoric acid and gypsum as a byproduct. This acid is essential in the production of phosphate fertilizers like diammonium phosphate (DAP) and monoammonium phosphate (MAP), which are vital for enhancing soil fertility and boosting crop yields.

What is Driving the Phosphoric Acid Market?

The global phosphoric acid market is experiencing growth driven by several key factors. The primary driver is the increasing demand for fertilizers, particularly in regions like Asia-Pacific, where agriculture plays a crucial role in food production. For instance, China and India are significant consumers due to their large agricultural sectors . Additionally, the rising global population necessitates enhanced food production, further elevating the need for phosphate-based fertilizers . Beyond agriculture, phosphoric acid is gaining traction in food and beverage applications, serving as an acidity regulator and preservative. Technological advancements in production processes are also contributing to market growth by improving efficiency and reducing environmental impact. However, challenges such as environmental concerns and regulatory pressures regarding industrial phosphoric acid disposal may impact market dynamics .

Phosphoric Acid Plant Expansion and Innovation 2025

In 2025, significant developments in phosphoric acid production plants are underway across various countries. In Canada, First Phosphate Corp. has secured an agreement with Port Saguenay in Quebec to establish a new phosphoric acid plant. The facility will utilize advanced clean technology from Prayon SA of Belgium and be implemented by Ballestra S.p.A. of Italy. Strategically located with access to rail and maritime networks, the plant aims to serve both North American and European markets. In Egypt, the government has approved a $658 million project to build a large-scale phosphoric acid plant in the Abu Tartour region. A consortium of Chinese companies, including China State Construction Engineering Corporation and East China Engineering Science and Technology Company, will oversee the construction, with operations expected to commence in 2028.

In India, Caitlyn India Private Ltd. (CIPL) has announced plans to invest ₹400 crore in setting up a 50,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) integrated phosphoric acid manufacturing plant. The facility will be located in southern India, focusing on port-accessible industrial zones to facilitate easy raw material import and finished product export. Additionally, Prayon SA is investing in a new electronic-grade phosphoric acid production unit in Bex, Switzerland, aiming to double its production capacity to meet the growing demand from the semiconductor industry. These initiatives reflect the global trend towards expanding and modernizing phosphoric acid production to meet increasing industrial demands.
