Global Red Phosphorus Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Red Phosphorus market size was valued at US$ 42.4 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 44.2 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 0.8% during review period.

Red phosphorus is a purple or slightly brown amorphous powder with a lustrous appearance. It has a density of 2.34 g/cm3 and sublimates when heated, but can melt when heated to 590°C under a pressure of 4300 KPa. Red phosphorus is an allotrope of phosphorus with the chemical formula P. Red phosphorus is not common in nature. It is usually converted from white phosphorus (another allotrope of phosphorus) by heating it to 260°C in an airtight condition. This process is also called the "thermal conversion" of white phosphorus. The physical properties of red phosphorus include: it is a purple-red or slightly brown amorphous powder, odorless, non-toxic, but with a metallic luster. Red phosphorus has a higher density than white phosphorus and is insoluble in water or organic solvents such as carbon disulfide. In air, the chemical properties of red phosphorus are relatively stable, but it can also show strong reactivity at high temperatures or when encountering strong oxidants. This report mainly studies the red phosphorus market, classified by product: electronic grade red phosphorus (high purity red phosphorus) and industrial grade red phosphorus; and by application: flame retardants, semiconductors, and others (pesticides, matches, etc.).

The growth of the red phosphorus market is due to its wide application in many fields, such as pesticides, flame retardants, semiconductors, etc. Among them, pesticides are one of the largest application areas of red phosphorus, and the flame retardant market has also developed rapidly as the country has increased its policy strength in building energy conservation and electronic processing. As a rigid demand, agriculture will continue to drive healthy growth of the industry. As the country continues to strengthen its environmental protection policies, the environmental protection requirements in the production process of red phosphorus are getting higher and higher. Enterprises need to increase environmental protection investment, improve production efficiency and product quality to meet the requirements of environmental protection standards. This will promote the red phosphorus industry to develop in a more green and sustainable direction. The mining and processing of phosphate rock is highly polluting, increasing the environmental protection costs of enterprises and resulting in profit compression. Phosphorus resources are non-renewable and are also national strategic resources. The country strictly controls the blind expansion of phosphorus chemical industry. The implementation of EU halogen-free regulations has prompted the upgrading of flame retardant customer industries. Environmental protection policies in recent years have led to a reduction in the production capacity and supply of red phosphorus flame retardants, and there is a large space for downstream demand. With the recovery of the global economy and the acceleration of infrastructure construction in developing countries, the demand for red phosphorus is expected to continue to maintain steady growth in the next few years.
