Phosphorus Acid Prices Outlook Q2 2025

• India: USD 1140/MT
• Germany: USD 1244/MT
• France: USD 1012/MT
• Japan: USD 1180/MT
• United States: USD 901/MT

During the second quarter of 2025, the phosphorus acid prices in India reached 1140 USD/MT in June. As per the phosphorus acid price chart, upstream cost inflation contributed to a rise in phosphorus acid spot prices. Besides, increased glyphosate production and the tightness in inland inventories contributed to the upward movement in prices. Moreover, prices were also climbing as inventory shortages in key supplier regions tightened market availability. During the second quarter of 2025, the phosphorus acid prices in Germany reached 1244 USD/MT in June. The price of phosphorus acid in Germany experienced a notable decline. This shift in price was primarily attributed to several interconnected factors impacting the market dynamics in that period. One of the primary reasons for the decrease in phosphorus acid prices was supply chain bottlenecks. These bottlenecks disrupted the timely delivery of phosphorus acid, causing logistical delays that ultimately contributed to price reductions. During the second quarter of 2025, phosphorus acid prices in France reached 1012 USD/MT in June. One significant factor affecting the price trajectory was the elevated phosphorus acid spot prices, influenced by severe bottlenecks at key ports. These bottlenecks hampered the timely delivery of essential raw materials, affecting production and increasing the cost of trading phosphorus acid. France, which relies on imports through major European ports, felt the ripple effect of these supply delays, causing spot prices to remain high despite the overall decline in prices in some markets. As a result, the overall pricing trend in France was closely tied to these ongoing global logistical challenges. During the second quarter of 2025, the phosphorus acid prices in Japan reached 1180 USD/MT in June. Producers in Japan ramped up production in anticipation of the upcoming peak export cycle for various agricultural chemicals. This demand resulted in fluctuating prices for phosphorus acid in Japan. Moreover, as downstream industries in Japan, particularly those involved in agriculture, chemicals, and fertilizers, continued to secure phosphorus acid in anticipation of future demand, prices stayed strong. During the second quarter of 2025, the phosphorus acid prices in the United States reached 901 USD/MT in June. Despite the price fluctuations, the demand remained resilient. Particularly in the agrochemical and water treatment sectors, the demand for phosphorus acid remained strong. A significant factor supporting this was a year-on-year increase in US corn acreage, which bolstered the need for fertilizers and agrochemical products, including glyphosate, thereby maintaining robust demand.

Q2 2025:

In Q2 2025, the price of phosphorus acid in Europe experienced a notable decline. The price drop was largely driven by a slowdown in demand from key sectors, particularly agrochemicals, during the early part of the quarter. Additionally, supply chain disruptions, particularly delays at major ports like Hamburg and Shanghai, had a significant impact on the availability of phosphorus acid. These logistical challenges contributed to higher shipping costs and reduced delivery volumes, affecting the overall market sentiment. The rising costs of yellow phosphorus and increasing inland freight charges were significant contributors to the production cost trend for phosphorus acid. As these costs climbed, production margins for manufacturers were squeezed, although these factors had less immediate influence on the price index compared to demand-side forces.

The catalyst showed a half-wave potential of 0.905 V in alkaline media and enabled high-performance zinc-air batteries with high power density and operational stability.

Product Description

Phosphorus acid, also known as phosphonic acid, is a chemical compound with the formula H₃PO₃. It is one of several oxoacids of phosphorus and should not be confused with phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄). Phosphorus acid is a diprotic acid (not triprotic like phosphoric acid), meaning it can donate two protons (H⁺ ions). Its chemical structure consists of a phosphorus atom bonded to three hydroxyl (OH) groups and one double-bonded oxygen. It is a colorless and odorless crystalline solid and is often sold and used in solution form. It is moderately soluble in water and releases heat when dissolved, which is a common characteristic of many acids when they interact with water.
