Request Covid - 19 Impact

Phosphate esters are also known as organophosphate compounds, which derived from the reaction of alcohol and phosphoric acid. Phosphate esters are widely used in pesticides, insecticides, lubricant additives, surfactant, flame retardant, and others, owing to its properties such as anti-wear, high ignition temperature, low vapor pressure, and excellent oxidation stability.

These esters are acidic and deprotonated in aqueous solution and can be synthesized by esterification of phosphoric acid, oxidation of phosphite esters or by alcoholysis of phosphorus oxychloride.

Global Phosphate Esters Market: Dynamics

Increasing demand for phosphate esters in plasticizers, lubricants, paints & coatings, coupled with growing construction, automotive, and other end-use industries, are some of the major factors expected to fuel the target market growth.

Increasing adoption of phosphate esters in agrochemicals for killing or avoiding pests and insects is among the other factors expected to propel global market growth. Moreover, increasing demand for phosphate esters in detergent, food, wastewater treatment, owing to its oxidation stability is another factor anticipated to support target market growth to a certain extent.

High price of raw materials is one of the major factors that could restrain global market growth. In addition, unfavorable regulations and guidelines on use of phosphate esters for agriculture purposes could be another hampering factor for target market growth.

Increasing adoption of bio-based phosphate esters and rising demand from various industries, especially in emerging economies, are some of the factors anticipated to present opportunities for existing players and augment growth of the market globally.

Phosphate Esters Market: Segment Analysis
