Delray Beach, FL, Jan. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In terms of value, the Phosphate Market is estimated to grow from USD 180.99 billion in 2024 to USD 219.74 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 3.9%, as per the recent study by MarketsandMarkets™. The growing demand for agricultural fertilizers is one of the main factors propelling the phosphate market. Phosphorus is one of the three major nutrients required for plant growth, nitrogen, and potassium. As the world's population increases, there is increase in need for food production. This has accelerated the use of phosphate fertilizers to enhance the crop productivity.
The market for phosphate is expanding due to the urbanization and shifting dietary habits. More processed and high-protein foods are typically found in the diets of those who relocate to urban areas. Subsequently growing livestock raises the demand for phosphate fertilizers for production of animal feed, which in turn supports this demand for protein. Additionally, the demand for dairy, meat, and other animal-based goods, rises in developing nations as disposable incomes rise.

Key Findings of the Study:
- The calcium phosphate segment is the fastest growing segment, in terms of value, of the global phosphate market during the forecast period.
- Igneous and weathered segment is estimated to be the second-largest type of resource of phosphate market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
- Animal feed is estimated to be the second-largest application of phosphate market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
- South America is projected to register the second highest CAGR, in terms of value, during the forecast period in the phosphate market.
Based on type, the phosphate market is segmented as phosphoric acid, ammonium phosphate, calcium phosphate, sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, and other types. From them, phosphoric acid segment accounted for largest market share, in terms of value, in 2023 and continue to dominate during the forecast period. This dominance is attributed to their essential use of phosphoric acid in the manufacturing of phosphate fertilizers. Phosphoric acid-based fertilizers have become increasingly popular in many developing nations, particularly in Asia, Africa, and South America, due to the expansion of agriculture and the need for increased production.
Based on type of resource, the phosphate market is segmented as sedimentary marine deposits, igneous and weathered, biogenic, and other types of resources. From them, sedimentary marine deposits segment accounted for largest market share. One of the main factors influencing the mining of sedimentary marine phosphate deposits is their geologic abundance. These deposits are a desirable source for mining since they are more accessible than other kinds of phosphate resources. It is easier to extract these deposits since the geologic formations that contain them are often found in shallow marine environments.
