The price of tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate in the United States for Q4 2023 reached 1435 USD/MT in December. The market in the United States exhibited mixed sentiment, rising in October and November, and declining in December. The rise can be attributed to a positive demand from water treatment sectors, elevated feedstock costs, steady interest rates, and strong economic conditions in the United States.
The price trend for tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate in China exhibited mixed sentiments, with prices accessed at 1375 USD/MT. In October and November, the prices rose because of raised feedstock costs from phosphine and formaldehyde. China's formaldehyde feedstock shortage and decreased demand caused prices to fall in December, which in turn caused little market activity.
The price trend for tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate in the Netherlands for Q4 2023, reached 537 USD/MT in December initially increased because of the growing feedstock costs and robust water treatment demand. However, a downturn in the Asian market by December led to a price drop, as producers began destocking to manage oversupply.
Brazil’s tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate prices witnessed substantial changes during the quarter, with a decrease linked to the prior quarter. Moreover, within Q4, the country witnessed a minor decay in prices in the second half.

Tetrakis Hydroxymethyl Phosphonium Sulfate Market Analysis
The global tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate market size reached US$ 250.4 Million in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 397.5 Million, at a projected CAGR of 5.30% during 2023-2032.
- Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate is an aqueous solution with antimicrobial and biodegradable properties. Its effectiveness as a fire retardant and biocide, due to its similar effect at lower concentrations and toxicity, makes it indispensable in industries like textiles, water treatment, and oil and gas which is further driving its demand.
- The growing demand for THPS in the oil and gas sector for microbial control in stimulation fluids, drilling fluids, and production systems is contributing to the growth of the market. THPS also exhibit preservation qualities, high-temperature stability, and long-term downhole protection in oilfields, making it highly sought after in the sector. As a result, growth in oil and gas exploration and production is anticipated to support the market growth. For instance, India’s crude oil production in FY23 reached 29.2 MMT, which can be attributed to the government’s efforts, such as allowing 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in natural gas, refineries, and petroleum products, to fulfill the increasing energy demand. The industry attracted US$ 25 billion in investment in exploration and production in 2022.
- Tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate is mainly used as a bactericidal algaecide in water treatment, fish aquaculture, and paper-making industry due to its ability to degrade swiftly into a harmless chemical. For instance, in an experiment by Shandong IRO Biocide Chemicals Co., Ltd. to prove the effectiveness of tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulfate in water treatment, the company reported that the bactericidal effect of THPS reached more than 97% at a concentration of 10 mg/L, concluding it to be more environmentally stable at the same concentration compared to other compounds used for water treatment.
- The product’s flame-retardant properties also make it valuable in the textile industry to enhance fire resistance. Moreover, the rising environmental consciousness and regulations have facilitated the need for THPS fire retardants due to their comparatively lower toxicity and environmental impact. Traditional flame retardants are harmful to both man and nature, therefore, using bio-based substances as environmentally friendly flame retardants is being considered. For instance, according to Plastics Engineering, the Asia-Pacific region manufactures a significant amount of global flame retardant market, with China and India being the primary producers. The region recorded a revenue share of 50.85% in 2022, with an anticipated CAGR of 7.7% during 2023-2027.
