Phosphate Rock Prices, Demand and Supply Overview

Phosphate Rock prices in Morocco, the highest-cost reporting region given its position as the world's leading exporter, rose 2.3% in Q2 2026 to USD 176.00/MT from USD 172.00/MT in Q1, continuing a gradual, steady upward trend that has characterized this market throughout the period. Globally, the average rose from USD 155.54/MT in Q1 to USD 159.08/MT in Q2, a 2.3% gain, extending a multi-year recovery from the lower levels recorded earlier in the decade. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 145.00-180.00/MT is expected, with steady global fertilizer demand likely to keep this market on its established gradual upward path.

Phosphate Rock is a sedimentary or igneous mineral deposit containing high concentrations of phosphate minerals, primarily apatite, mined and processed into phosphoric acid and downstream phosphate fertilizers including diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate. It serves as the foundational raw material for the global phosphate fertilizer value chain, essential to agricultural productivity worldwide, alongside smaller volumes used in animal feed supplements, industrial phosphate chemicals, and food-grade phosphoric acid production. Morocco holds by far the world's largest phosphate rock reserves, giving the state-owned OCP Group substantial influence over global pricing and supply. Mining and processing costs, global fertilizer demand, and Moroccan export pricing policy are what drive prices in this market.

Phosphate Rock Price Forecast for 2026

The outlook for Phosphate Rock through H2 2026 points to continued gradual firming, tracking steady global fertilizer demand and Moroccan export pricing discipline. This market's price is expected to continue its multi-year recovery trajectory, supported by sustained agricultural demand growth and constrained near-term global mining capacity additions relative to demand.

The main upside risk is a further tightening of Moroccan or other major exporter supply, or stronger-than-expected global fertilizer demand, which could accelerate the pace of gains beyond current expectations. The main downside risk is a significant expansion of global mining capacity combined with softer agricultural demand, which could slow or reverse the gradual upward trend that has characterized this market.

Region 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) Outlook
Global Average 145.00 - 180.00 Steady global fertilizer demand keeps this market firming gradually
Morocco 165.00 - 195.00 Leading global export position sustains the highest price
United States 150.00 - 175.00 Steady domestic fertilizer demand supports continued firmness
Russia 145.00 - 170.00 Growing export volumes drive continued gains
China 135.00 - 155.00 Large-scale domestic production keeps this the most affordable market
