Single Superphosphate prices in the United States, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 2.9% in Q2 2026 to USD 360.00/MT from USD 350.00/MT in Q1, extending a firm climb tied to elevated phosphate rock and sulfuric acid feedstock costs. Indian prices rose 3.2% to USD 320.00/MT, tracking the broader firming trend alongside strong domestic fertilizer demand ahead of the growing season. Globally, the average rose from USD 313.00/MT in Q1 to USD 322.34/MT in Q2, a 3.0% gain, following a jump of 8.3% in Q1. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 230.00-370.00/MT is expected, with sustained agricultural demand likely to keep this market firm.
Single Superphosphate, commonly abbreviated SSP, is a phosphate fertilizer produced through the reaction of phosphate rock with sulfuric acid, yielding a granular or powdered product containing phosphorus, calcium, and sulfur, all essential plant nutrients. It serves as a widely used, cost-effective fertilizer for a broad range of crops, particularly in regions where sulfur deficiency in soils makes its sulfur content, alongside phosphorus, agronomically valuable. Because it is produced directly from phosphate rock and sulfuric acid, this market's cost structure tracks both the phosphate rock market and the broader sulfur and sulfuric acid chain closely, making it exposed to feedstock cost swings across two distinct commodity chains simultaneously. Phosphate rock and sulfuric acid feedstock costs, agricultural planting season demand, and regional fertilizer subsidy and trade policy are what drive prices in this market.
The outlook for Single Superphosphate through H2 2026 stays firm, tracking elevated phosphate rock and sulfuric acid feedstock costs alongside sustained agricultural demand tied to planting season timing across major consuming regions. Steady demand from broad-acre crop applications, particularly in sulfur-deficient soil regions, should continue supporting consumption even as the pace of further gains likely moderates from the sharp Q1 2026 spike that characterized every region covered here.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of phosphate rock or sulfuric acid feedstock availability, which would push production costs higher across every region. The main downside risk is a faster-than-expected normalization of feedstock costs combined with softer agricultural demand outside of peak planting season, which would ease some of the current price pressure.
