Phosphorus Trichloride Pricing, Demand and Supply Overview
Phosphorus trichloride is produced by reacting white phosphorus with chlorine gas, yielding a key intermediate for organophosphate agrochemical synthesis. The largest demand pull comes from insecticide and herbicide active ingredient production, followed by pharmaceutical API synthesis, and flame retardant intermediate manufacturing. White phosphorus and chlorine feedstock costs, agrochemical sector demand, and regional production capacity all feed into the price.
Global phosphorus trichloride prices tracked close to the USD 1.24 to USD 1.46 per KG range projected for 2026, as feedstock firming and agrochemical demand supported the tone. US prices averaged USD 1.38 per KG in Q1 2026, up 7.8 percent from Q4 2025, as firmer white phosphorus and chlorine feedstock costs from Middle East disruptions elevated production expenses while the spring agrochemical formulation season lifted procurement from insecticide and herbicide manufacturers. China's large production capacity kept it the most affordable source, while Germany remained the highest-cost reporting region.
What is Phosphorus Trichloride Price in August 2026?
Phosphorus trichloride prices held a firm tone through August 2026, tracking close to the Q1 2026 levels across all tracked regions, as firmer white phosphorus and chlorine feedstock costs and steady agrochemical and pharmaceutical demand continued to support the market.
- North America (US): US phosphorus trichloride prices held near USD 1.35 to USD 1.41 per KG, close to the USD 1.38 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as firmer white phosphorus and chlorine feedstock costs from Middle East disruptions and agrochemical formulation season procurement continued to support the level.
- APAC (China): Chinese phosphorus trichloride prices held near USD 1.02 to USD 1.08 per KG, close to the USD 1.05 per KG recorded in Q1 2026, as the country's large production capacity continued to keep it the most affordable sourcing region globally.
- Europe (Germany): German phosphorus trichloride prices held near USD 1.65 to USD 1.71 per KG, close to the USD 1.68 per KG recorded in Q1 2026 and the highest among tracked markets, as high feedstock and energy costs continued to keep Germany the most expensive market.
Phosphorus Trichloride Price Forecast for 2026
The balance of supply and demand for phosphorus trichloride through the rest of 2026 leans cautiously firm. White phosphorus and chlorine feedstock costs firmed from Middle East chemical supply disruptions. Agrochemical formulation season demand is recovering with improving crop protection spending.
The main upside risk is a sustained white phosphorus and chlorine cost surge alongside accelerating agrochemical and pharmaceutical API synthesis activity. The main downside risk is Chinese phosphorus trichloride overcapacity and weak crop protection spending that limits global price recovery.

| Global Average | 1.24 - 1.46 | Feedstock firming and agrochemical demand support tone |
| United States | 1.30 - 1.52 | Steady agrochemical and pharma demand holds it firm |
| China | 0.96 - 1.18 | Large production capacity keeps it the most affordable |
| Germany | 1.60 - 1.82 | High feedstock and energy costs keep it the most expensive |
| India | 1.26 - 1.48 | Growing agrochemical demand holds a firm middle range |
