Global Market
Supply growth to outpace demand growth
New production dominated by Middle East and FSU
Delays less likely as large projects move closer to commissioning
Demand growth
Phosphate demand will recover from 2013
Nickel leaching demand is strong but growth is not unlimited
Sulphur balance will move into surplus Producers will need to withhold product from the market
But which producers will act?
Global oversupply is coming; can demand catch up?
