MARKET OVERVIEW
Phosphate esters are a class of chemical compounds formed when alcohol is reacted with phosphoric acid. A phosphodiester group characterizes them (-PO(OR)2) in their structure, where R is an alkyl or aryl group. These compounds have a wide range of industrial applications, including use as flame retardants, plasticizers, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids. They are also used as intermediates in producing other chemicals, such as surfactants and corrosion inhibitors. Phosphate esters are known for their excellent lubricating properties, good chemical stability, and high thermal stability. Due to their high thermal stability, they can be used in high-temperature applications. Some examples of phosphate esters include tricresyl phosphate and triphenyl phosphate.
MARKET DYNAMIC
Phosphate esters constitute a unique range of properties exploited in the production of specialized chemical processing aids for industries. The phosphate esters market is driven by its increasing applicability ranging from surfactants to fire retardancy. Modern developments in the automotive industry, the booming construction sector and stable developments in aviation & marine trigger new potential uses of phosphate esters. Increased consumption of phosphate esters in several end-use industries powered by steadily growing GDPs and rising per capita income of individuals in developing nations is expected to further growth in the phosphate ester market share. A developing trend towards the usage of bio-based esters would provide opportunities for medium to small-scale manufacturers is another factor that would contribute to the overall market growth. However, a shortage in the supply of raw material and their rapidly increasing costs which ultimately passes to the end-user may hamper the global phosphate esters market growth.
