According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Industrial Grade Phosphorus Trichloride market size was valued at US$ 1543 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2302 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.9% during review period.
In 2025, global Industrial Grade Phosphorus Trichloride (PCl₃) production reached approximately 1 million tons, with an average global market price of around US$ 1,500 per ton.
The gross profit margin of major companies in the industry is between 15% – 30%.
In 2025, the global production capacity of industrial grade phosphorus trichloride was approximately 1.33 million tons.
Industrial Grade Phosphorus Trichloride (PCl₃) is an important inorganic chemical intermediate. It is a colorless, fuming liquid that reacts violently with water. Industrially, it is primarily produced by the direct chlorination of yellow phosphorus. Its primary use is as a key precursor in the manufacture of organophosphorus compounds, most importantly for the production of glyphosate herbicide, as well as other pesticides, plasticizers, and flame retardants. Due to its hazardous nature (corrosive, reacts with water releasing HCl), it requires careful handling and transportation.
The industrial chain of Industrial Grade PCl₃ covers upstream raw materials such as yellow phosphorus, chlorine gas, and energy. The midstream consists of large-scale chemical companies that operate integrated phosphorus chemistry plants, producing PCl₃ and often further processing it into derivatives like phosphorus oxychloride (POCl₃) or glyphosate. Downstream, the majority of PCl₃ is consumed captively within the same company or sold to manufacturers of agrochemicals (herbicides, insecticides), flame retardants, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The ecosystem also includes suppliers of phosphorus and chlorine, logistics companies for hazardous chemicals, and engineering firms specializing in chemical plant design.
