Tricalcium Phosphate Price Trend for the First Half of 2024

Asia

In China, a major exporter and producer of tricalcium phosphate, prices experienced some fluctuations. At the beginning of the year, geopolitical tensions and logistical challenges strained the availability of key raw materials, particularly phosphoric acid, contributing to higher production costs. As a result, tricalcium phosphate prices saw upward pressure early in the year. However, by the second quarter, the situation stabilized somewhat due to adequate inventories among market players.

Planned maintenance shutdowns in May and June, coupled with extreme weather conditions, led to increased production and bulk procurement by manufacturers, which helped mitigate the price hikes. The drop in phosphoric acid prices due to lower downstream demand and destocking efforts further contributed to a downward shift in tricalcium phosphate prices by the end of H1.

Europe

In Europe, particularly in countries like Germany, tricalcium phosphate prices followed a similar trajectory to that of the United States. Early 2024 saw price increases due to inflation and supply chain issues, but as inflationary pressures mounted, demand for tricalcium phosphate softened, leading to price declines in the second quarter. The stabilization of freight rates and improvements in shipment processes helped alleviate some of the costs associated with tricalcium phosphate imports. By the second quarter, sufficient inventories and reduced demand in the agriculture and food processing sectors, driven by inflationary constraints, contributed to the overall decrease in prices.

North America

In the United States, the market witnessed a dual impact from global supply chain disruptions and domestic inflationary pressures. Shipping costs surged early in the year due to challenges in major trade routes like the Red Sea, which increased transportation expenses for tricalcium phosphate imports. As manufacturers adjusted to these costs, prices initially rose. However, as inflationary pressures reduced demand in several sectors, including agriculture and food processing, tricalcium phosphate prices began to trend downward toward the latter half of H1. Eased shipping rates and logistical improvements also played a role in moderating the price increases that had been experienced earlier in the year.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of Tricalcium Phosphate is expected to struggle with the bearish sentiments of the consumer sector and challenging outlook of the global trade flows.
 

Tricalcium Phosphate Price Trend for the Second Half of 2023

Asia

The tricalcium phosphate price trend noted a significant decline during the early months of the third quarter of 2023. The fall in the market dynamics was driven by the lack of demand from the downstream industries and the pessimistic approach of the consumer sector. This downturn in the market was also influenced by the fluctuation in economic activities and the slowing down of the industrial sector.

In addition to this, the number of overseas inquiries seemed to be affected by the disruption of the Red Sea route. However, the market regained its momentum in the fourth quarter as, in view of favorable demand, the inventories dried up at a much faster pace than the production could match up. In addition to this, as the year approached its end, the number of bulk orders increased by several folds and helped in the northward movement of tricalcium phosphate prices.

Europe

In European countries, a downward trend in the prices of tricalcium phosphate was observed as the excessive oversupply of the product raised the level of inventories. This only escalated the concerns of the traders, and they were forced to opt for destocking activities in order to balance the supply-demand equilibria. The cost of raw materials also witnessed a noticeable reduction, which further reduced the overall prices of production and, in turn, the price trend of tricalcium phosphate.

North America

The tepid demand and ongoing economic struggles in the US kept the price trend of tricalcium phosphate on the lower end of the spectra throughout the third quarter of 2023. The losses incurred by the traders and manufacturers were majorly influenced by the negative interest of the consumers in this sector amid the economic challenges and strict measures being adopted by the banking sector. However, the market rebounded significantly in the last quarter of 2023 as consumption activities improved, and in view of hikes in production prices, the price trend of tricalcium phosphate also inclined.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of Tricalcium Phosphate is expected to be driven by the rising interest of the downstream industries and easing global inflationary pressure.
 

Tricalcium Phosphate Price Trend for First Half of 2023

Asia

Tricalcium phosphate prices surged in the first quarter of 2023 as the food industries increased their production rates after a long season of stagnancy. In all, all the end-user industries contributed to the high demand for the product in the region. In addition to this, the low level of inventories also supported the hike in the prices. However, in the second quarter, the trend tumbled, and prices declined significantly. The number of offtakes, demand from downstream industries, and overall market dynamics of tricalcium phosphate subdued in the region, and as a result, the price trend also declined.

Europe

The first quarter proved to be favorable for the tricalcium phosphate market. The demand dynamics from downstream industries remained high as the rates of consumption also improved. The major contributor to this rising price trend was the all-time high export rates supported by the rise in the number of offtakes from the overseas sectors. But the second quarter did not follow this trend as the movement of international industries declined gradually. In addition to this, high levels of inventories and compromised trading activities caused the prices of tricalcium phosphate to move downwards.

North America

As seen in the Asia-Pacific and European countries, the price trend of tricalcium phosphate inclined in the first quarter due to the restricted supply of products in the region. The limited trade activities, rising rates of inflation, and high cost of oil concerned the traders.

The strong number of offtakes and insufficient inventories helped the prices of tricalcium phosphate to surge. However, a significant decline was seen in the second quarter. The market dynamics were disturbed by the weak movement of downstream industries, and high economic instability in the economy was the major factor that led to the fall in the price trend of tricalcium phosphate.

Analyst Insight

According to Procurement Resource, the price trend of Tricalcium Phosphate is expected to fall. The market activities of tricalcium phosphate seem to decline globally due to falling demand and high uncertainties in the global economy.
