Global Sulfuric Acid Market - Overview

Sulfuric acid, also known as sulfuric acid, is a mineral composed of sulfur, oxygen, and hydrogen elements. Its physical properties are colorless and odorless and are highly miscible with water. Among other things, sulfuric acid is used for manufacturing fertilizers, explosives, glue, purifying petroleum, producing lead-acid batteries, and much more. One of the most common applications of sulfuric acid is its use as an electrolyte in lead-acid storage batteries. However, it is a highly corrosive chemical that can cause severe damage to human skin.

Global Sulfuric Acid Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Use of Sulfuric Acid in Agricultural Sector

Fertilizers have always been an integral part of agriculture as they provide the soil with nutrients like potassium, phosphate, and nitrogen. Growing concerns from the agricultural sector regarding high crop yield and improved food quality are expected to drive fertilizer market growth, propelling the sulfuric acid market forward. Sulfuric acid is used in the production of phosphate fertilizers such as lime superphosphate and ammonium sulfate. The demand for food has increased dramatically as the world's population has grown, necessitating fertilizers to increase agricultural productivity. During the projected period, this aspect is likely to boost the growth of the global sulfuric acid market.

Growing Application of Sulfuric Acid in Medicine and the Pharmaceutical Industry

Since sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive acid, it is widely used for damaging cancerous cells’ DNA. The pharmaceutical industry uses them extensively to make chemotherapy drugs. Considering the growing prevalence of cancer worldwide, the demand for chemotherapy for treatment purposes will rise at a rapid pace. In addition to treating skin infections, sulfuric acid is found in ointments for treating canker sores. These factors are likely to significantly propel the demand for sulfuric acid in the forecast period.

Restraints

Sulfuric Acid Poses Serious Health and Environmental Hazards

Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive acid that is hazardous for both humans and the environment. Even the slightest contact with sulfuric acid can cause severe burns. Moreover, any type of contact on the cornea or eyes can induce permanent blindness. Therefore, workers exposed during the production of this acid are constantly in danger. Moreover, sulfuric acid can exist in the air as particles or droplets and contribute to acidity, harming sensitive ecosystems. Hazards of this type restrict market growth significantly.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Sulfuric Acid Market

The COVID-19 outbreak and the pandemic have had a tremendous impact on the global sulfuric acid market. As a result of the lockdowns imposed by various countries to control the spread of the virus, several end-user industries were completely shut down, including automobile production, chemical manufacturers, petroleum refiners, and so on. This resulted in a significant decline in demand for sulfuric acid, causing severe losses to the market. Moreover, the production of sulfuric acid also suffered during COVID-19. As a result, agricultural demand for sulfuric acid was not met, further inhibiting the global market's growth.

Global Sulfuric Acid Market - By Raw Materials

Based on raw materials, the global sulfuric acid market is segmented into elemental sulfur, base metal smelters, pyrite ore, and others. The elemental sulfur holds the largest market share as this type of raw material is comparatively less polluting than other types such as pyrite ore or base metal smelters. Furthermore, the growing demand for industrial chemicals for manufacturing various commercial products and expanding production capacities for sulfur also propels the demand for elemental sulfur.

Global Sulfuric Acid Market - By Applications

Based on applications, the global sulfuric acid market is segmented into fertilizers, chemical manufacturing, metal processing, petroleum refining, textile industry, automotive, pulp & paper, and others. Among these segments, the fertilizer segment accounts for the largest market share because of their expanding applications in agriculture for enhancing crop yields. Furthermore, the availability of fertile land has also decreased because of rapid industrialization and development. Therefore, the demand for fertilizers is growing rapidly to meet the consumption needs of the growing population.

Global Sulfuric Acid Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global sulfuric acid market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. The Asia-Pacific region dominates the sulfuric acid market and is also projected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. China is leading the market as the largest producer as well as a consumer for sulfuric acid with flourishing industrial applications. In addition, the easy availability of raw materials and rising development strategies such as setting up production facilities to meet the growing demand for sulfuric acid are also driving the market in this region.
