With a market share of over 90%, pure grade phosphorus trichloride clearly dominates the global market. Extensive use of pure grade phosphorus trichloride in manufacture of agrochemicals, plastic and other such rapidly progressing industries contribute to the dominance of this segment. As the planting acreage is widening worldwide in the light of escalating food demand, the global sales of glyphosate is anticipated to cross expectations. In addition, glufosinate sales are also anticipated to correspondingly grow. Pesticides such as chlorpyrifos, acetamiprid and others will witness significant demand across agriculture focusing countries such as India, Brazil and China over the next few years. Furthermore, as the prices of pesticides is anticipated to decline over the next few years, it is expected that the demand for pure PCl3 in the field of agrochemicals will progress in tow with the overall market growth.

Among the considered application areas/downstream industries, organophosphorus pesticides is observed to be the largest segment for phosphorus trichloride both in terms of revenue and volume. The global sales of organophosphorus pesticides have already crossed the US$ 8 Bn benchmark; organophosphorus pesticides along with other pesticides which consume PCl3 together count for approximately 16% of the total pesticides market. This category of products include glypjosate, imidacloprid, chlopyrifos and others. Furthermore, flame retardants is also a key phosphorus trichloride consuming area. phosphorus based flame retardants contain less toxic substances and the required raw materials are cheaper and easily available.  

Geographically, the global phosphorus trichloride (TCl3) market is cumulative to North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa and Latin America.

Among the considered regional markets, Asia Pacific is observed to be the largest market for phosphorus trichloride. Asia Pacific is the largest producer as well as consumer of agrochemicals – the largest downstream product of phosphorus trichloride. Growing cultivation acreage and growing demand for domestic population in this region demands large quantities of agrochemicals, thus making the Asia Pacific the most lucrative regional market. The spread of PCl3 manufacturers is the widest in China, with a production history of over 6 decades. The country is scattered with multitude of PCl3 manufacturers with cumulative production capacity of over 2.5 Mt/year. Excluding China, there are not many PCl3 manufacturers; such remaining manufacturers have formed a complete and complex industrial chain.
