This is an annual subscription product, with regular updates throughout the year.In November 2011, the phosphorus industry as a whole continued its steady pace in China. Entering winter, demand for phosphate fertilizer in China, the main downstream product of phosphorus ore, dropped considerably. Demand for other phosphate chemicals is almost the same as November, and the corresponding sales in this sector are flat.
For fine phosphate chemicals, a downturn in market situation in China is expected. Development of downstream phosphorus products are expected to turn into more refined ones, such as toothpaste grade, electronic grade, and medical grade phosphate chemicals. Several enterprises, such as Wengfu Group and Hubei Xingfa, have begun researching and exploiting these products that require more advanced technology.
In general, the integration and regulation of phosphorus resource, the elimination of high consumption of energy and low-value products, and the reorganization of phosphorus enterprises will still be the focal point in the future.
