Phosphine Market Overview, Scope and Outlook 2021
Global phosphine market is
segmented on the basis of product type, application and geography. Phosphine
(PH3) is also known as hydrogen phosphide with colourless and flammable
characteristics. It is an extremely toxic gas with a garlic like odour.
Phosphine is formed by the action of a strong base or hot water on white
phosphorus or by the reaction of water with calcium phosphide (Ca3P2).
Phosphine is structurally
similar to ammonia (NH3), but phosphine is a much poorer solvent than ammonia
and is much less soluble in water. Phosphine is a chemical which belongs to the
group of organophosphorus compounds. Phosphine obtained by supplying heat to
phosphorous in an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate. Chemical formula of
this compound is PH3.

The concentration of this
compound varies in the atmosphere. It plays a vital role in phosphorous
biochemical cycle. PH3 is a trigonal pyramidal molecule. P-H bond length in
phosphine is 1.42A and the angle between H-P-H bonds is 93.5º. Phosphine is
used as an insecticide for the fumigation of grains, animal feed and leaf
stored tobacco. Acute (short term) inhalation exposure to phosphine may cause
headaches, dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, burning substernal pain, nausea,
vomiting, labored breathing, cough, chest tightness, pulmonary irritation,
pulmonary edema and tremors in humans.
Convulsions may ensue
after an apparent recovery. Chronic (long-term) occupational exposure of
workers to phosphine may cause inflammation of the nasal cavity and throat,
weakness, dizziness, nausea, gastrointestinal, cardiorespiratory, and central
nervous system symptomology, jaundice, liver effects and increased bone
density. On the basis of end-user, the phosphine market is classified into
government and research organizations, associations and industrial bodies,
traders, distributors and retailers, agriculture & farming industry,
phosphine manufacturers and suppliers, regulatory institutions, food safety
agencies, pesticide traders/ suppliers, agricultural institutes and
universities.
On the basis of product
type, the phosphine market is segmented into electronic grade phosphine,
technical grade phosphine, magnesium phosphide, aluminum phosphide, calcium
phosphide, and so on.“Aluminum phosphide” is the rapidly growing segment, since
it is used as a substitute for methyl bromide fumigants and is comparatively
cheaper. The demand for “aluminum phosphide” is expected to grow due to the
rapidly growing agrochemical industry.
On the basis of
application, the phosphine market is segmented into microelectronics, fumigant,
organophosphorus chemistry, warehouses, and soil and so on.“Warehouses” segment
is expected to grow in the coming years. Warehouses are generally used to store
food grains or processed food which is highly susceptible to insect
infestations. This is one of the main reasons for the usage of phosphine
fumigants which has led to warehouse segments being one of the fastest growing
segments in the phosphine market.
On the basis of geography,
the phosphine market is segmented into Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific,
North America and Middle East & Africa.The Europe region is one of the key
markets for the phosphine market and its growth is attributed to the growth in
the production of cereals and grains in the region with advancements in storage
technologies in warehouses and innovations in farming technologies with higher
efficiency in terms of application. Countries in this region are focusing on
sustainable agriculture to meet the demand for high quality crops.
The key players of
phosphine industry are Nippon Chemical Industrial, Air Products, CYTEC SOLVAY
GROUP, Pentagon Chemicals, Bhagwati Chemicals, GASCO, BASF Intermediates, Adama
Agricultural Solutions Ltd., Rentokil Initial Plc and United Phosphorus Ltd.
