Phosphorus Trichloride Market for Glyphosate to Hit $1.1 Billion by 2035 as IDA Route Expands

Summary
$1.1 billion is the 2035 market forecast for phosphorus trichloride used in glyphosate synthesis, up from $720.1 million in 2025 in a new ResearchAndMarkets study.
A 4.5% CAGR is tied to steady glyphosate output, because phosphorus trichloride remains a hard-to-replace intermediate in the main manufacturing routes for the herbicide.
IDA-based synthesis is a key growth driver, with that route projected to expand at a 7.3% CAGR as producers adopt lower-waste processes and optimize capacity.
$594 million of the 2025 market came from technical and industrial-grade material with at least 99% assay, the main feedstock for large-scale glyphosate plants.
North America started from a $68 million base, while broader demand is being supported by expanding farmland, heavier crop-protection use in developing economies and investment by major chemical producers.
