Introduction: 

Phosphoric acid also known as orthophosphoric acid, is a weak acid with chemical formula H₃PO₄. It is colorless, odorless, non-volatile, and soluble in ethanol. Phosphoric acid is produced using wet processing, in which a phosphate-containing mineral such as calcium hydroxyapatite or fluoroapatite is treated with sulfuric acid. For the production of food grade phosphoric acid, phosphate ore is smelted to produce elemental phosphorus in an electric arc furnace using coke. The produced acid is purified by removing toxic compounds. It is a used for various applications such as, soaps and detergents, food industry, water treatment, toothpastes, and others.

Market Dynamics:

Rising adoption for phosphoric acid in agriculture sector owing to increasing demand for fertilizers such as diammonium phosphate monoammonium phosphate, and trisodium phosphate, is a major factor expected to drive growth of the global phosphoric acid market over the forecast period. In addition, increasing demand for metal treatment and water treatment, which in turn increase demand for phosphoric acid, is another factor anticipated to fuel growth of the target market in the next coming years. Moreover, increasing adoption of phosphoric acid in other applications such as medical, chemicals, and electronics, are among some factors estimated to drive growth of the potential market over the forecast period.
