The North America Sulfuric Acid Market would witness market growth of 4.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2023-2030). In the year 2019, the North America market's volume surged to 10,571.4 kilo tonnes, showcasing a growth of 3.9% (2019-2022).

Sulfuric acid is an indispensable primary material utilized in numerous industries. It is a highly corrosive and potent mineral acid widely used in numerous industries, including producing chemicals, fertilizers, metals, textiles, pulp and paper, and automobiles. It is composed of sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen, also known as vitriol oil.

The increasing use of agricultural biotechnology to generate both edible crops and feed crops for livestock and poultry is anticipated to increase the demand for nutrient-rich crop yield. The nutrient-dense plants contain iron, minerals, and other proteins that benefit human health and disease prevention. The biofortification of cereals is enhanced by adding suitable mineral or inorganic compounds to fertilizers. The micronutrients in soil are essential for the production of nutrient-rich crops. Utilization of the product to increase food crop yield is anticipated to drive market growth.

Utilizing sulfuric acid to produce phosphate fertilizers increases their efficacy and productivity. Furthermore, high-quality phosphate fertilizers guarantee that crops receive the nutrients necessary for their growth and development. In addition, growing investments in plant facilities due to increased phosphate fertilizer production capacity and tightening environmental regulations are expected to stimulate the market.

North America's market is influenced by industrial growth, applications in different sectors, and environmental regulations.
