Global Tetrakis Phosphonium Sulphate Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The global tetrakisphosphonium sulphate market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.81% to reach a market size of US$317.843 million by 2027, from US$244.686 million in 2020.

Tetrakis phosphonium sulphate also known as Tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulphate is a clear colourless compound with many uses such as flame retardant, biocides, and tanning agent. Due to rapid industrialization, many industries are coming up in different regions of the world so the demand for tetrakis phosphonium sulphate is increasing as its use is beneficial for different industries. This majorly acts as a driving factor for the global tetrakis phosphonium sulphate market growth. Concerning usage, the biocide segment is poised to grow at a notable rate throughout the forecast period as the demand for tetrakis phosphonium sulphate is more for use as a biocide.

The demand for Tetrakis phosphonium sulphate is primarily driven by industries such as oil and gas, textile, and water treatment.

Mostly, it is used as a biocide for water treatment operations. It is an essential chemical compound in various industries such as in textile industries since it is used as a textile flame retardant in which first a pre-condensate of urea is formed and then cured on the cotton fabric. In leather industries, it is used as a tanning agent in which it is used as a substitute for chrome that produces a white hide and allows the tanner to reduce the use of hazardous chrome salts. In the oil and gas industry, it is used as an iron sulfide scavenger in oil field waters as it turns into a water-soluble complex which then removes any traces of iron sulfide in the water and removes deposits from pipe surfaces, filter media, and other equipment.

Major players

Some of the key players like are selling tetrakis phosphonium sulphate for various uses include DuPont and Dow which sell a product the AQUCARTM THPS 75 Water Treatment Microbiocide is a broad-spectrum biocide that has been created to suppress the growth of algae, bacteria, yeasts, and fungus in process fluids used in a variety of industrial applications. In both acidic and alkaline conditions, AQUCAR THPS 75 Water Treatment Microbiocide is effective.

Another important figure is Tetrakis phosphonium sulphate a biocide sold by Solvay. TOLCIDE® PS, a biocide from Solvay, is aimed at a wide variety of applications in the oil and gas sector and water treatment markets. TOLCIDE ® PS is a proven, fast-acting, and potent micro biocide used to eradicate bacteria from oilfield waterflood operations or fracturing fluids in oil and gas reservoirs. It is also employed in the installation of industrial water treatment systems.

By Usage

By Usage, the global tetrakis phosphonium sulphate market is segmented as a biocide, iron sulfide scavenger, flame retardant, and tanning agent. Biocide is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing segments as most industries use this compound as a biocide.

By End-User Industry

By End-User Industry, the global tetrakis phosphonium sulphate market can be segmented as the paper industry, oil and gas industry, leather industry, textile industry, and water treatment. The oil and gas industry holds a significant amount of share the market owing to the increasing demand for tetrakis phosphonium sulfate as it provides protection to components and has high stability at high temperatures. However, it is the biocidal function of tetrakis phosphonium sulfate that is boosting the demand for it in water treatment.

By Geography

Geographically, the global tetrakis phosphonium sulphate market is segmented as North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Asia-Pacific, and South America. North America is projected to hold a significant market share owing to its growing usage for water treatment, tanning agents, and biocide in the region.

Product Offerings

• Ataman Chemicals offer Aqucar THPS 75, which is a water treatment micro biocide that consists of tetrakis phosphonium sulphate. It changes from a colourless to a yellow liquid. This product is effective in reducing sulphate bacteria along with aerobic bacteria. Primarily it is used in oil fields and petrochemicals.
• SMC Global offers TETRAKIS (HYDROXYMETHYL) PHOSPHONIUM SULFATE (THPS) 55566-30-8 BIOCIDE. THPS is a non-toxic aqueous solution with antibacterial capabilities that is less hazardous, effective at lower levels, and biodegradable than other standard biocides. The company's THPS is offered in a range of active phosphorous concentration levels to suit a variety of applications. They sell EPA-registered THPS quantities under the AVANCID brand name, as well as non-registered THPS concentrations. Furthermore, the business holds several EPA registrations for the blending and compounding of tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulphate (THPS) and glutaraldehyde.
• Solvay, formerly Rhodia Engineering Plastics, sells BRICORR® 75. It is accessible in Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Latin America and includes the active component tetrakis hydroxymethyl phosphonium sulphate. It is used in oilfield operations to dissolve iron sulphide deposits, which can reduce oil production rates. Because it is completely miscible with water, the product can be utilized directly or as a foundation for subsequent formulation.
