AMMONIUM PHOSPHATES.

The article presents information on the market for ammonium phosphates. The global $6.5-billion ammonium phosphate market is expected to grow at roughly 2.9 percent per year by 2010. Fertilizers are the main application for ammonium phosphates, but they also have more minor uses in animal feed as well as fire-control and flame-retardant products. Ammonium phosphate prices and margins are expected to remain high, due to the tight supply-demand balance, analysts say.
