Triple Superphosphate (TSP) Price Trend and Forecast 2026-2027

Triple superphosphate (TSP) is a phosphate fertilizer produced from phosphate rock and phosphoric acid through acidulation, used extensively as a high-phosphorus crop application fertilizer across row-crop agriculture. Phosphate rock feedstock costs, and fertilizer demand dynamics all feed into the price.

Global TSP prices in Q1 2026 stood at USD 0.635 per KG in Europe, the highest among tracked markets, USD 0.612 per KG in Sub-Saharan Africa, USD 0.554 per KG in Northeast Asia, and USD 0.535 per KG in North America, the most competitively priced tracked market. Europe held the highest tracked price on import dependency and elevated processing costs, while North America benefited from integrated phosphate rock supply and production scale. Steady fertilizer demand and seasonal crop cycle effects continued to underpin consumption across all tracked regions.

Triple Superphosphate (TSP) Price Forecast for 2026

The supply-demand balance for TSP through the remainder of 2026 is expected to firm modestly as the Northern Hemisphere spring planting season intensifies in Q2. Phosphate rock supply from Morocco and the Middle East remains the critical variable. Crop planted area projections for 2026 are supportive of healthy fertiliser demand. The primary upside risk is renewed phosphate rock supply tightness; the primary downside risk is moderation in crop commodity prices reducing farmer investment in fertiliser inputs.
