Many producers ramped up their output, resulting in an oversupply situation that outstripped demand, particularly in sectors like electronics and agriculture. While there were pockets of demand, particularly in Asia, there were not enough to absorb the excess supply, keeping prices under pressure.

Yellow Phosphorus (P4) >99% prices rallied in Q3 2024 as industrial activity rebounded following the monsoon lull. Increased demand from agricultural chemical manufacturers ahead of the sowing season supported price gains, especially for Vietnamese-origin cargoes.

Yellow Phosphorus prices rose in both July and August, driven by tight availability and active procurement by Indian buyers. However, September saw a minor correction due to importers adjusting to prior stockpiling. Despite this, overall momentum remained firm. The quarter ended with prices at USD 3743/MT CIF Nhava Sheva from Vietnam.

Yellow Phosphorus Price Trend Q4 2024

As we enter Q4 2024, the Yellow Phosphorus market is experiencing growth, with prices reported at USD 3,690/MT, an increase of 3.58% from October. This upward movement can be attributed to a combination of seasonal demand spikes, especially in agriculture as planting seasons approach. Additionally, increased demand from industries like electronics and explosives has also contributed to tightening supply.
