Tricalcium Phosphate Price Trend

Tricalcium Phosphate Prices December 2023

The tricalcium phosphate (TCP) prices in the USA for Q4 2023 reached 1345 USD/MT. The market in the USA experienced fluctuations, with prices initially rising before a mid-quarter dip due to reduced consumption and ample inventories. However, strong demand driven by higher production costs and energy prices kept market sentiment positive, with increased competition among suppliers and the impact of global freight costs further shaping the market dynamics.

The price trend for TCP in China for Q4 2023 reached 1085 USD/MT. The market saw significant price fluctuations. It surged during the "golden" and "silver" months due to increased demand, only to see a decline in November as suppliers reduced prices to clear excess inventory. However, pre-holiday demand in December led to renewed price increases, compounded by transportation challenges.

In Germany, the price trend for TCP reached 1275 USD/MT in Q4 2023. Germany's market in late 2023 was characterized by steady price increases, driven by strong demand and rising production costs. The Euro's appreciation and higher energy prices in exporting countries further fueled these increases. A mid-quarter dip occurred due to reduced consumption and sufficient inventories, but overall, market dynamics remained robust, supported by higher raw material costs.

Product Description

TCP often referred to as beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) or tribasic calcium phosphate, is a biomaterial that is frequently utilized in bone tissue engineering because of its structural and chemical similarities to the mineral phase of bone. It is also very biocompatible and osteoconductive. Besides this, it may be transformed back into normal bone through a cell-mediated process involving osteoclastic activity.

TCP is used as a volume expander, to fill up voids left by metaphyseal fractures or bone cysts, and as a carrier of growth hormones and antibiotics. It may also be found in many forms, such as calcium phosphate cement, and solid goods. Additionally, it is employed in orthopedic and dental procedures including implant coatings and bone grafting.

TCP can be readily obtained off-the-shelf and is inexpensively and mass-produced. It can be degraded by osteoclasts, and the rate at which it breaks down depends on its crystallinity, porosity, and surface roughness. The breakdown products that are primarily made up of calcium and phosphate ions are useful for the formation of new bone.
