Monocalcium/Dicalcium Phosphate Market Size, Share, Opportunities, And Trends By Form (Powder, Granule), By Application (Animal Feed, Food, Beverage & Nutrition, Fertilizers), And By Geography - Forecasts From 2025 To 2030

The monocalcium/dicalcium phosphate market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.69%, from US$554.210 million in 2025 to US$697.013 million in 2030.

Monocalcium phosphate is an extremely important phosphate supplement in the animal feed sector. It delivers calcium and phosphorus to animals, which aids in their metabolism and the proper functioning of their neurological, immunological, and reproductive systems. In the pharmaceutical sector, dicalcium phosphate is utilized as a nutritional supplement. Growing worries about diseases caused by a deficiency of calcium and phosphate in living creatures, such as osteoporosis and others, are driving demand among end-users for these bio-chemicals from numerous sources that contain them. The increasing use in various applications, including food, beverages, animal feed, fertilizers, and others, is expected to be a major growth driver for the monocalcium/dicalcium phosphate market.

The increased demand for nutritional animal feed has resulted from the growing practice of animal husbandry as a company for profit. Many developed and developing governments encourage farmers to engage in animal husbandry activities such as poultry farming, fish farming, and apiculture, among others.

What are the Monocalcium/Dicalcium Phosphate Market Drivers?

• Increasing population of livestock across the globe

A major factor estimated to propel the global monocalcium/dicalcium phosphates market is the increasing global livestock population. With this increasing population, the demand for animal feeds and feed nutrients will grow, giving a boost to the demand for monocalcium phosphate. In the animal feed industry, monocalcium phosphate, or MCP, plays a critical role. It is a form of inorganic phosphate supplement that offers calcium and phosphorous to animals, boosting metabolism, the immune system, the reproductive system, and the overall productivity of livestock.

The population of livestock across the globe has witnessed significant growth over the years, majorly with the increasing demand for animal products. In its report, the US Department of Agriculture stated that in Brazil, the total population of cattle increased from 193,780 thousand heads in 2022 to 194,365 thousand head in 2023. Similarly, the population of pork in the nation was recorded at 45,150 thousand head in 2022, which increased to 47,550 thousand head in 2023.

The agency further stated that in India, the cattle population increased from 306,700 thousand head in 2022 to about 307,400 thousand head in 2023. In Mexico, the population of cattle increased from 17,000 thousand head in 2022 to 17,314 thousand head in 2023. The population of swine and pork also witnessed a significant increase in 2023, reaching about 11,775 thousand head and 20,400 thousand head, respectively.

• Increasing global demand for baking food products.

The global growth in the baking food industry is also expected to propel the monocalcium and dicalcium phosphate market forward during the forecasted timeline. Monocalcium phosphate is among the key ingredients that act as a rising agent in baked goods, like prepared cakes, pancakes, self-rising flours, and baking powders. This phosphate is also used as an acidulant and puffer in various types of dry beverage mixes.

The global baked goods market has grown significantly over the past few years. In its report, the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board of the UK stated that in 2023, the baking occasion in the nation increased by 1% to about 13 million occasions in 2023. The agency further stated that in year-on-year consumption of key baking products, chocolate cake witnessed a growth of 11 million occasions, whereas pizza and Muffins & cupcakes witnessed a growth of about 7 million and 3 million, respectively.

• Growing usage in application industries

The rise in the application industries is a major factor expected to increase the demand for monocalcium/dicalcium phosphates during the forecast period. Calcium phosphates are utilized in a wide range of applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, food supplements, feed, and dentifrices. Monocalcium Phosphate is used as a raising agent in the food business for chemically leavened baked products, baking powders, readymade cake mixes, self-rising flour, pancake mixes, and other products. It can also be used as a buffer and acidulant in dry beverage mixes.

Dicalcium Phosphate is a calcium and phosphorus nutrient found in foods, beverages, and nutritional supplement products. It can be used to replace titanium dioxide as a bleaching agent and as a resource of heat-triggered acidity for leavening. Nutritional drinks, vitamin premixes, and triturations all benefit from this component.

Geographical Outlooks of the Monocalcium/Dicalcium Phosphate Market:

• Asia Pacific is forecasted to hold a major share of the Monocalcium/Dicalcium Phosphate Market.

The Asia Pacific region is estimated to attain a greater market share during the forecasted timeline, as it offers increasing demand for animal feed and nutritional products. Countries like India, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Bangladesh are among the biggest markets with more livestock populations and increasing demand for animal feed products. Similarly, the growth of bakery food products and processed food ingredient markets is also expected to propel the demand for dicalcium and monocalcium phosphate.
