Covered in this report
According to procurement analysts, the increasing use of phosphoric acid as feedstock to produce phosphate-based fertilizers, such as DAP and MAP, is driving the overall market’s growth. The decline in the volumes of arable land and increasing demand for food over the past decade due to rapid urbanization and growing populations have resulted in the higher use of fertilizers by farmers to increase their crop yields. Moreover, the increasing use of crops such as sugarcane, sugar beets, and corn to produce biofuels such as industrial ethanol is also contributing to the greater use of fertilizers, as phosphate is a crucial nutrient, especially for corn.
Category driver
One of the procurement best practices for buyers is to enter into strategic alliances with suppliers. Phosphoric acid is the primary feedstock that is used to produce fertilizers. The cost of phosphoric acid accounts for a significant portion of the overall raw material cost. Moreover, ensuring consistency in the supply of phosphoric acid is essential for the continuous production of fertilizers. Hence, strategic alliance with suppliers will help buyers procure phosphoric acid at lower prices than the prevalent market price. Moreover, it will ensure consistency in supply as a buyer becomes a preferred client for suppliers. Buyers can also create strategic alliances using JVs and long-term agreements.
