The global market of Monocalcium Phosphate has observed a price uptick in the first half of October 2025. The downstream buyers of Monocalcium Phosphate have secured feedstock for late-2025 production and early-2026 runs. The strategic price measures by suppliers have met intensified purchasing from animal nutrition, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors which produced a short-term squeeze in available inventories at Monocalcium Phosphate supplier and distributor levels. The seasonal anticipation for winter supply risks and longer production campaigns with a preference to hold larger safety stocks than usual have amplified urgency across the trade flows. The buyers and procurers have feared shortages which accelerated their purchases that further lifted the prices in an upward trend. The result was sustained upward momentum across the Chinese export market and other major import markets in October. ChemAnalyst expects that the prices of Monocalcium Phosphate will likely continue its upward trajectory in the near term. Increasing visibility across the supply chain which include shipping and alternative sources will reduce high-cost procurement at last-minute.
Selenis has effectively manufactured recycled PET chips using terephthalic acid sourced from Circ®, a textile-to-textile recycler based in Virginia. The chip production took place through a series of batches at Selenis' pilot plant in San-Giorgio, Italy. By utilizing inputs recovered from polycotton textile waste, Selenis has created high-quality PET chip, which has been further processed into DTY yarn. This yarn will play a crucial role in product development as Circ prepares for additional capsule launches. Selenis is leveraging the success of this initial collaboration phase and is committed to advancing towards an offtake partnership to support Circ's inaugural industrial facility.
Eduardo Santos, Head of Corporate Strategy at Selenis, remarked that the monomer synthesis showed a performance comparable to virgin terephthalic acid. He expressed optimism about the consistent quality of Circ's monomer output and anticipated future commercial success. Santos pointed out that the Circ partnership complements Selenis's existing mission and goals for a more sustainable textile industry. He further stated their anticipation of expanding upon this collaboration and providing support for Circ's forthcoming commercial production trials.
