REPORT DESCRIPTION
Phosphoric acid is an inorganic acid and is the largest produced and consumed acid in terms of value and second-largest in terms of
volume after sulfuric acid. Phosphoric acid is used in the production of phosphate chemicals that typically find use in water treatment,
detergent builders and fire control chemicals among others. Moreover, phosphoric acid is used in applications such as metal surface
treatments, beverage acidulation and animal feed production. Fertilizer is the largest application segment of phosphoric acid followed by
detergents, water treatment and metal treatment among several other application segments. The growing demand for all these applications
from end-user industries such as agriculture, manufacturing and FMCG is expected to drive the global phosphoric acid market in the
coming years.
Phosphoric acid and its phosphate derivatives exhibit various useful properties such as softening and complexing agent, buffer agent,
dispersing agent, alkalizing capacity, synergy with surfactants, acidity regulator, corrosion inhibitor, lead precipitation agent, water
fluoridation, scale inhibition, nutrient source, pH control and precipitation and sequestration of metal ions among others. Owing to such
highly useful characteristics, phosphoric acid and its phosphate derivatives find use in several applications in the areas such as metal
treatment, detergents and fertilizers. In the metal treatment industry, phosphoric acid is used for metal cleaning, metal phosphating, in the
production of electrical sheets and in the electropolishing of aluminum. In the detergents industry, phosphoric acid is used for producing
household detergents and industrial detergents. In the water treatment industry, phosphoric acid and its phosphate derivatives are used for
treating drinking water, waste water and industrial water.

In the fertilizer industry, phosphoric acid and its phosphate derivatives are used for the production of water soluble and liquid fertilizers.
Apart from these applications, phosphoric acid and its phosphate derivatives are used in ceramics, enamels, refractories, flame retardants,
porcelain, glass, glass fiber, paints, antifreeze, yeast and fermentation chemicals, biofuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol, refining of
vegetable oils and sugar, textiles, pigments, several food related applications and pharmaceutical applications.
