Global Sulfamic Acid Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Form (Powder, and Liquid), By Application (Metal Finishing, Dyes & Pigments, Paper & Pulp, Plastic, and Others), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030


The Global Sulfamic Acid Market size is expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 14.6% CAGR during the forecast period. In the year 2022, the market attained a volume of 4,937.9 Hundred Tonnes, experiencing a growth of 13.8% (2019-2022).

The Asia Pacific region, particularly countries like China and India, has witnessed rapid industrialization. Therefore, the Asia Pacific segment captured $162.9 million revenue in the market in 2022. Industries such as cleaning, water treatment, and metal processing, where this is used, have experienced increased demand due to industrial growth. The diverse industrial base in the Asia Pacific has led to an expansion in the applications of sulfamic acid. Industries ranging from textiles to chemicals have contributed to its growing demand in the region.

Sulfamic acid serves as a valuable nitrogen source in the production of agrochemicals and fertilizers. An essential component of plant growth, nitrogen aids in synthesizing enzymes, proteins, and chlorophyll. It's contribution as a nitrogen source enhances plant nutrition, fostering healthier and more robust crop development.

Additionally, it's efficacy in descaling applications is a pivotal factor driving its demand in the water treatment sector. The chemical's ability to dissolve and remove scale deposits from industrial equipment, pipelines, and water-carrying systems ensures the efficient operation of water treatment facilities. Thus, these aspects will propel its demand in the coming years.

However, the production process relies heavily on urea and sulfuric acid's availability and cost dynamics, which are primary raw materials. Any disruptions or fluctuations in the supply chain of these key components directly influence the manufacturing process. Urea, a crucial precursor in synthesis, is susceptible to market fluctuations influenced by agricultural demand, global production levels, and geopolitical events.
