China and India are the leading exporters of aluminum phosphide, accounting for the majority of global shipments, while the United States, Germany, and Brazil represent the largest importers. Aluminum phosphide prices have remained relatively stable amid steady cross-border flows. Exports from China have slightly increased year-on-year since 2022, while Indian exports have plateaued, and U.S. imports have shown modest growth—consistent with ongoing demand in agrochemical and fumigation applications.
Aluminum phosphide is a grayish crystalline solid with a garlic-like odor when exposed to moisture; it is non-volatile under ambient conditions and decomposes before melting. It is an inorganic binary compound, classified as a metal phosphide. Its primary industrial use is as a fumigant for stored grains and agricultural commodities, where it reacts with atmospheric moisture to release phosphine gas. It is also employed in semiconductor manufacturing as a precursor for aluminum phosphide-based optoelectronic materials. Typical application areas include pest control in grain storage and specialized electronic materials production.
