Sodium Tripolyphosphate Market by Application (Detergents & Cleaners, Food Processing Additives, Anticorrosion & Antiscale Agents, Ceramic Tiles, Dispersant & Pigment Stabilizer, Metal Treatment), Form, End-Use, Grade, and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

The global sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) market is projected to grow from USD 1.10 billion in 2025 to USD 1.53 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. The global STPP market is growing steadily, driven by rising demand in detergents, water treatment, and food processing. Expanding industrial and household cleaning sectors, especially in the Asia Pacific, are key growth drivers. Despite phosphate-related environmental concerns, ongoing innovation in green STPP continues to support market expansion.

“By application, the food processing additives segment accounted for the second-largest share in terms of value during the forecast period.”

The food processing additives segment is anticipated to hold the second-largest share in terms of value in the STPP market during the forecast period, driven by rising global demand for processed and convenience foods. STPP is widely used as a water retention agent, texturizer, emulsifier, and preservative in meat, seafood, dairy, and bakery products to enhance quality, texture, and shelf life. The market’s growth is fueled by urbanization, changing dietary habits, and the expansion of cold-chain infrastructure in emerging economies. Additionally, increasing food safety standards and the adoption of high-purity food-grade STPP are supporting broader usage. This growing demand in food processing is expected to remain a key driver, ensuring stable and long-term growth for the market.

“By form, the granule segment accounted for the second-largest share in terms of value during the forecast period.”

The granule segment is anticipated to hold the second-largest share in terms of value in the STPP market during the forecast period, due to its ease of handling, superior solubility, and uniform dispersion in end-use formulations. It is widely preferred in detergents, food processing, and water treatment applications as it offers better flow properties and consistent performance during production. The growth of granular STPP is driven by rising demand for high-efficiency detergents, automation in food processing plants, and industrial-scale formulation processes that favor granulated materials for dosing precision. Its ability to minimize dust generation and improve product stability further strengthens its adoption.

“Europe is estimated to account for the second-largest share in terms of value during the forecast period.”

Europe is estimated to account for the second-largest share in the STPP market in terms of value during the forecast period, due to its strong industrial base and expanding food processing sector. The region’s increasing demand for water treatment and ceramic applications continues to support steady consumption. However, regulatory restrictions on the use of STPP in household detergents, owing to environmental concerns related to phosphate discharge, have slightly restrained its growth. Despite this, industrial and institutional cleaning applications continue to sustain significant demand across the region.
