The global Tri Calcium Phosphate market experienced drastic price depreciation throughout February 2025, as significant decreases were reported in major trading countries. Market observers now predict a price hike for Tri Calcium Phosphate in March 2025 in major trading markets after its stabilization.
China, the world's leading Tri Calcium Phosphate producer, experienced a sharp downward trend in February due to severe oversupply conditions. Manufacturers slashed prices aggressively to maintain competitiveness and clear mounting inventories. The extended Lunar New Year holiday further weakened short-term demand for Tri Calcium Phosphate, creating additional downward pressure on prices.
Trade limits had a huge impact on the growth of Chinese Tri Calcium Phosphate exports. Continuous tensions in trade with the United States imposed heavy tariffs on shipments, which played a big role in the home market oversupply scenario. Top importing countries, such as the U.S. and Germany, also showed surplus inventories from purchases made late in 2024, decreasing their near-term demand for new imports.
In Germany, the European market, prices of Tri Calcium Phosphate declined in a similar manner. Better production levels and consistent import supply adequately countered earlier shortages of Tri Calcium Phosphate. The Euro's appreciation relative to the U.S. dollar made imports more economical, making prices lower for buyers.
Raw material prices directly affected Tri Calcium Phosphate prices, with China's Phosphoric Acid prices falling significantly. This fall echoed weak market demand and cautious buyers along the supply chain. With rising inventories, buyers curtailed procurement activity, delaying the purchase of the product to prevent building up excessive stocks.
Industry analysts currently forecast a considerable change in the Tri Calcium Phosphate market during March 2025. The sudden price plunge in February has established a sentiment of prudent buying, resulting in low inventories among Tri Calcium Phosphate purchasers. As the industries such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture restart normal procurement to restock the product, demand will automatically increase.
A slow stabilization and price appreciation for Tri Calcium Phosphate is expected in March. The market has overcorrected, and we now see major indicators trending towards recovery in the market.
On the demand side, constant Tri Calcium Phosphate manufacturing rates are maintained by manufacturers, yet a mix of influences including others will maintain price stabilization. Logistical issues, including fluctuating freight costs and transport interruptions, will maintain imports, particularly for European customers. In China, stringent environmental regulations and inspection requirements will maintain production capacity in line, further tightening Tri Calcium Phosphate supply. The combined forces of fatigued buyer inventories, steady industrial consumption, and possible supply limitations on the market mean a platform that will bring Tri Calcium Phosphate prices together during March 2025 and significantly creep higher throughout March 2025, reversing February's substantial fall.
