Single Triple Phosphate (STPP) Market: Overview
- Single triple phosphate (STPP) is a rich source of phosphorous and an important compound in the process of photosynthesis. Since the compound is water soluble, it becomes easily and rapidly available for plant uptake. Additionally, it is a low-cost source of phosphorous. STPP contains small amounts of calcium, which acts as an additional source of nutrition for plants.
- Single triple phosphate (STPP) is formed from phosphate rock and phosphoric acid. Due to high phosphorous content, it is used in horticultural blends to some extent. Efficiency of STPP is high and it has strong soil adaptability. Owing to this, STPP accelerates sprouting, rooting, fruit bearing, and ripening capacities of crop plants.
- STPP is widely used as a high-concentration, water-soluble, single-source phosphate fertilizer. STPP is primarily suitable for the soil with low phosphate content. For the maximum level of effect, STPP is applied either during or after planting and seeding. As a fertilizer, STTP is the best choice for rapidly growing, short-season crops with restricted root systems.
- In terms of application, the global single triple phosphate (STPP) market can be segmented into agricultural fertilizers, animal feed, food processing, and others.
Key Drivers and Restraints of Global Single Triple Phosphate (STPP) Market
- Growth of the agro-based industry is one of the primary drivers of the global market for single triple phosphate (STPP). STTP is considered a rich source of phosphorus, which is the most widely used fertilizer nutrient after nitrogen. Demand for STTP-based fertilizers is increasing worldwide, as STTP eliminates the deficiency of phosphorous in arable lands. Thus, rapidly increasing demand for single triple phosphate (STPP) from the agriculture sector, especially in agrarian economies, is expected to fuel the global single triple phosphate (STPP) market during the forecast period.
- Demand for phosphates, particularly to develop phosphate additives, has witnessed consistent growth over the last few years. Single triple phosphate (STPP) derivatives, such as calcium dihydrogen phosphate, are used as leavening agents in the bakery industry. Rising demand for STPP derivatives in the food processing sector is anticipated to drive the global single triple phosphate market during the forecast period.
- On the other hand, availability of substitutes for STPP-based fertilizers, such as ammonium phosphate fertilizers, is expected to hamper the global single triple phosphate (STPP) market in the near future
