According to a research report published by Spherical Insights and Consulting, the global trisodium phosphate market size was worth around USD 3.45 billion in 2024 and is predicted to grow to around USD 5.92 billion by 2035 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.03% from 2025 to 2035. The opportunities in the trisodium phosphate market include growing applications in food processing and water treatment, growing demand for industrial cleaning agents, improvements in phosphate-free formulations, and rising adoption in developing economies due to industrialization and hygiene awareness campaigns.  

Market Overview  

The worldwide production, distribution, and consumption of Na3PO4, an inorganic salt that takes the form of a white, crystalline powder known for its alkalinity and solubility, are all included in the trisodium phosphate (TSP) market. The trisodium phosphate market serves a variety of industrial and consumer purposes and is mostly used as a cleaning agent, food emulsifier, water treatment chemical, and buffering ingredient in detergents, paints, textiles, and metal processing. Industrial expansion, phosphate consumption regulations, technological developments in manufacturing processes, and changes in consumer preferences toward ecologically friendly substitutes are some of the variables in the trisodium phosphate market.  Government initiatives, including the U.S. FDA’s approval of TSP in school lunches to improve cereal quality and strengthen market stability, and EPA Clean Water Act regulations limiting detergent phosphates, aim to prevent eutrophication and protect water ecosystems.  

The primary factor anticipated to propel the market's expansion is the rising demand for food and beverage items. For Instance, in May 2025, the IRS launched petitions to classify TSP as a taxable substance under Superfund, potentially affecting U.S. prices, while global TSP production costs rose 5–7% in 2025 amid phosphoric acid shortages. The trisodium phosphate market is mostly driven by the growing world population and the related increase in food consumption. The market for food-grade TSP is also expected to be further boosted by the rising demand for processed and convenience foods in urbanizing areas.

Driving Factors   

The growing usage of trisodium phosphate in the treatment of water and wastewater is one of the main factors propelling its expansion. The trisodium phosphate market is being driven by the compound's many uses, such as its efficiency as a cleaning agent and its application in food processing. In order to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus contamination in water bodies, for example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is pressing utilities to improve their treatment methods. Technological developments in production methods and the strong demand from emerging nations are also anticipated to support trisodium phosphate market growth. The extensive usage of TSP as a cleaning and degreasing agent is one of the main drivers of trisodium phosphate market growth.  

Restraining Factors

The market for trisodium phosphate is restricted by strict environmental laws that restrict the use of phosphate, rising consumer demand for environmentally friendly substitutes, possible health risks associated with excessive phosphate consumption, and volatile raw material prices that affect manufacturing costs and market profitability.   

Market Segmentation    

The trisodium phosphate market share is classified into grade and application.  

• The food-grade segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.   

Based on the grade, the trisodium phosphate market is divided into food grade, industrial grade, and technical grade. Among these, the food-grade segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The food and beverage industry is the main user of food-grade TSP, where it functions as an acidity regulator and emulsifier. The food sector is forced to use safe, high-quality additives as consumers grow more health-conscious, which increases demand for food-grade TSP. Stricter food safety regulations and increased consumption of processed foods and drinks are the main drivers of the market for food-grade TSP.  

• The food and beverages segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the trisodium phosphate market is divided into the food and beverages, cleaning agents, water treatment, agriculture, and others. Among these, the food and beverages segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.  TSP is primarily utilized as an emulsifier, acidity regulator, and sequestrant in the food and beverage industry, improving the quality and shelf life of processed foods. The use of TSP in this industry is driven by the rising demand for packaged drinks and convenience foods worldwide.  

Regional Segment Analysis of the Trisodium Phosphate Market

• North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico)

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the trisodium phosphate market over the predicted timeframe.   

Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold the largest share of the trisodium phosphate market over the predicted timeframe. The Asia Pacific region's strong industrial base, widespread use in the food processing, detergent, and water treatment industries, and strong chemical manufacturing capacity in China, India, and Japan are the main reasons for this. Asia Pacific's domination is largely due to the region's growing food and beverage industry and agricultural sector. Furthermore, the demand for TSP in water treatment applications is expected to increase due to these nations' increasing focus on infrastructure development and water quality improvement. For instance, in October 2025, Northeast Asian TSP prices stabilized at USD 0.79/kg, supported by rising sanitation and agro-processing demand, while innovations in low-alkali synthesis were launched, reducing environmental impact and ensuring ASEAN regulatory compliance.     

North America is expected to grow at a rapid CAGR in the trisodium phosphate market during the forecast period. The presence of important end-user sectors like food and beverage, chemicals, and cleaning agents propels North America. Furthermore, the demand for TSP is maintained by the strict regulations in North America regarding water treatment chemicals and food additives, which require the use of premium compounds. The demand for TSP-based cleaning products is driven by the region's focus on upholding strict standards of sanitation and cleanliness in both home and commercial settings. U.S. school lunch programs, approved by USDA and FDA, use TSP as a GRAS emulsifier in cereals and baked goods, enhancing nutrition for over 30 million students daily while ensuring product stability under 21 CFR standards.
