For the Quarter Ending September 2025
North America
• In United States, Di Sodium Phosphate Price Index rose quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, driven by increasing production costs.
• Di Sodium Phosphate production costs increased due to upward phosphoric acid and soda ash costs in Q3 2025.
• Rising CPI (3.0% YoY in September 2025) and PPI (2.6% YoY in August 2025) elevated operational expenses.
• Di Sodium Phosphate demand was supported by strong retail sales (5.42% YoY in September 2025) and low unemployment (4.3% in September 2025).
• Food processing and detergent sectors showed steady to advanced demand for Di Sodium Phosphate in Q3 2025.
• North American phosphoric acid supply tightened in Q3 2025, exacerbated by reduced import volumes.
• Overall US chemical inventories shrank in Q3 2025, as companies accelerated destocking efforts.
• Foreign orders for the chemical industry contracted in Q3 2025, impacting Di Sodium Phosphate trade.
• Di Sodium Phosphate price forecast indicates upward pressure due to persistent cost inflation and supply constraints.
Why did the price of Di Sodium Phosphate change in September 2025 in North America?
• Rising phosphoric acid and soda ash costs significantly increased Di Sodium Phosphate production expenses in Q3 2025.
• Tightening North American phosphoric acid supply and overall chemical production declines constrained Di Sodium Phosphate availability.
• Strong retail sales (5.42% YoY in September 2025) and stable end-use sector demand provided underlying support.
APAC
• In China, the Di Sodium Phosphate Price Index declined quarter-over-quarter in Q3 2025, influenced by contracting manufacturing and falling producer prices.
• Production costs for Di Sodium Phosphate rose in Q3 2025 due to tight global ammonia availability and supply.
• Di Sodium Phosphate demand faced downward pressure from a -0.3% CPI and -2.3% PPI in September 2025.
• Consumer confidence at 89.6 in September 2025 indicated a pessimistic outlook, impacting end-use applications.
• Despite a contracting Manufacturing Index in September 2025, industrial production grew 6.5% year-on-year.
• Retail sales increased 3.0% year-on-year in September 2025, supporting demand for consumer goods.
• China's phosphates export activity resumed in Q3 2025, contributing to overall strengthened exports.
• Regulatory oversight for food additives in China intensified during Q3 2025, influencing market dynamics.
• The Di Sodium Phosphate price forecast suggests continued pressure from weak demand signals despite some industrial growth.
Why did the price of Di Sodium Phosphate change in September 2025 in APAC?
• Falling producer prices, indicated by a -2.3% PPI in September 2025, reduced pricing power.
• Contracting manufacturing activity and pessimistic consumer confidence dampened overall Di Sodium Phosphate demand.
• Tight global ammonia supply in Q3 2025 increased production costs, but weak demand limited price increases.
