Phosphine Gas Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Grade (Electronic , Technical , Industrial, Others), By Application (Organophosphorus chemistry, Microelectronics, Fumigant, Semiconductor, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Phosphine is a colorless gas with odour similar to rotten fish, it has a chemical formula of PH3. It is easily soluble in natural solvents including acetone and mineral spirit, but slightly soluble in water. It is produced when white phosphorus reacts with potassium or sodium hydroxide. Additionally, when the phosphine gas released to the atmosphere, it becomes phosphoric acid owing to the ways of sunlight, but do not show adverse effects on the ecosystem. It is considered as an ideal gas, owing to its ability to controls all insectile stages including the most resistant ones. Also, once ventilated, it spreads quickly throughout the grainy mass and does not leave any toxic residue in the treated goods. The phosphine gas finds its use in organophosphorus chemistry, microelectronics, fumigant, and semiconductor applications.  

The rising consumption of phosphine gas in the semiconductor and chemical industry will drive market growth. The product is used as an n-type dopant in the diffusion of silicon and epitaxial deposition. It is also utilized for the epitaxial growth of GalnAsP and InP for the manufacturing of semiconductors. Whereas, in the chemical industry, the product is used for the preparation of flame-retarding compounds. The advancement in technology coupled with innovation in the chemicals will boost the consumption of the product. Hence, the rising demand will fuel phosphine gas market growth during the forecast timeline.

However, the inhalation of phosphine gas can cause circulatory functions, compromises heart (cardiac), and respiratory irritation. This restricts its adoption in various applications and is anticipated to restrain the market growth.
