Sulfuric Acid Market, By Raw Material Type (Pyrite Ore, Elemental Sulfur, Base Metal Smelters, and Others), By Application (Fertilizers, Pulp & Paper, Textiles, Chemical Manufacturing, Metal Processing, Automotive Battery Acid, Petroleum Refining, and Others), By Manufacturing Process (Single Contact Process, Wet Contact Process, Lead Chamber Process, and Others), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia-pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030

Sulfuric acid is a viscous liquid that is soluble in water, and its color varies from yellow to colorless, depending upon the concentration. Its strong acidic nature allows it to corrode living tissues and metal surfaces. It is mostly used for the application such as fertilizers, automotive batteries, water treatment, paper, and bleaching.

Sulfuric acid finds various applications across a broad spectrum of industries, and its single largest application is in the production of fertilizers. Key players in the market are adopting various business strategies such as mergers and acquisitions to expand their global footprint. For instance, in 2019, Fanchem Ltd., a subsidiary of PVS Chemicals, Inc., acquired Benson Chemicals Limited based in Canada. This will help Fanchem to expand its presence in Canada.

However, stringent government regulations on usage of sulfuric acid, owing to hazardous effects of the strong acidic mixture are expected to restrain growth of the global market.

Market Dynamics

Among application, fertilizers segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the market over the forecast period, owing to increasing crop production to cater to increasing demand for food. For instance, according to the International Fertilizer Industry Association, global fertilizer demand was pegged at 186 million metric tons in 2021 and is expected to reach at 199 million metric tons by 2030.

Among regions, Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the market over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for the sulfuric acid for various application such as chemical manufacturing, paper and pulp, fertilizers in emerging economies such as India and China. Key players are adopting various strategies such as business expansion to cater to increasing demand for sulfuric acid. For instance, in May 2020, BASF started its new electronic grade sulfuric acid plant in China. Electronic grade sulfuric acid finds application for manufacturing semiconductors. The new plant is expected to meet growing demand of sulfuric acid from the semiconductor industry in China.
