In the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, Di Sodium Phosphate prices rose just above 1.3% in Q3 2026, moving from roughly USD 948/MT in Q2 to close to USD 960/MT in Q3, and it was firmer phosphoric acid costs and steady orders from food and water treatment buyers that most plausibly shaped the move. Across the tracked regions, the global average rose from about USD 687/MT in Q2 to near USD 696/MT in Q3, a gain of just under 1.3%. For Q4 2026, a global average of just above USD 675 to 731/MT is expected, with phosphoric acid costs, soda ash costs, and processed food demand guiding the range.
Di sodium phosphate, or disodium hydrogen phosphate, is a white crystalline salt made by neutralising phosphoric acid with soda ash or caustic soda, and it is sold as anhydrous powder and as hydrated crystals in industrial and food grades. It is used as a buffer and emulsifying salt in processed cheese, meat, and cereals, in water treatment, detergents, and ceramics, and in some pharmaceutical formulations, with food processing taking the largest share of demand. Phosphoric acid and soda ash costs, food grade supply, processed food demand, and freight rates all feed into the price.
The balance of supply and demand for di sodium phosphate through the end of 2026 leans stable to firm. Chinese quotes for the industrial 98 percent grade held at their highest level for the year through September and October, and the market rates them as high. Food processors kept buying steadily, which supports the current range.
The main upside risk is a rise in phosphoric acid costs or tighter phosphate export controls that lifts prices above the forecast range. The main downside risk is weaker food and detergent demand, which would pull prices below the forecast.

| Germany | 912 - 987 | Energy costs hold a high band |
| United States | 931 - 1,010 | Food grade standards hold the top |
