Global Phosphorus Removing Agent Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Phosphorus Removing Agent market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2261 million in 2025 to US$ 2893 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, the global production of phosphorus removal agents is approximately 6.7 million tons, with an average selling price of about US$345 per ton. Single-line production capacity is approximately 60,000-150,000 tons per year, with an average gross profit margin of about 8-20%. Phosphorus removal agents are chemical agents used in water treatment to remove phosphorus. They primarily work by reacting with phosphate ions in water to form insoluble precipitates, achieving chemical precipitation and flocculation of phosphorus, thus preventing eutrophication of water bodies. The main types include iron salts, aluminum salts, and calcium salts, with new generations including highly efficient composite phosphorus removal agents. They are efficient, easy to operate, and economical, suitable for treating various phosphorus-containing water bodies such as domestic sewage and industrial wastewater.
The upstream core raw materials for phosphorus removal agents include aluminum sources, iron sources, acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid), and specialized polymers and complexing agents used in the production of high-performance composite agents. Downstream applications cover all industries that require controlling phosphorus content in water bodies, mainly including domestic sewage treatment, various industrial wastewater treatments, and the prevention of eutrophication in landscape water bodies and rivers. They are fundamental bulk chemicals for ensuring water environmental safety and compliance with discharge standards.
With the increasing global demand for water environmental protection, particularly concerning the issue of water eutrophication, the market for phosphorus removal agents has been continuously growing in recent years. Phosphorus removal agents are widely used in wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment, and industrial wastewater treatment, primarily to remove phosphates from water, prevent water eutrophication, and protect the ecological balance of water resources. Especially against the backdrop of accelerated urbanization and worsening industrial pollution, the demand for phosphorus removal agents is steadily rising. According to market research, the global market for phosphorus removal agents is expected to continue to grow, particularly in regions such as China, Europe, and North America.
With stricter environmental regulations, traditional chemical phosphorus removal methods face greater environmental pressure. Currently, environmentally friendly, low-toxicity, and biodegradable phosphorus removal agents are becoming the main market trend. These products effectively reduce secondary pollution and meet stricter environmental protection requirements. Liquid and solid phosphorus removal agents remain the mainstream products in the market, and with technological advancements, composite and biological phosphorus removal agents are also gaining increasing application.
In the future, the phosphorus removal agent market will benefit from continued investment in the water treatment industry and support from environmental policies. The growth potential of the phosphorus removal agent market is particularly significant in the industrial wastewater and municipal sewage treatment sectors. Overall, the demand for environmentally friendly phosphorus removal agents will be the main driving force for market growth, and the market size is expected to continue to expand.
