Sulfuric acid, a potent and highly corrosive chemical, is a fundamental industrial compound with diverse applications. It’s widely used in chemical manufacturing, metal processing, and as a crucial component in fertilizers. This versatile acid also plays a pivotal role in wastewater treatment and petroleum refining. However, its handling requires caution due to its corrosive nature and potential environmental impact.
According to research conducted by Future Market Insights on the global sulfuric acid market, demand for sulfuric acid is set to grow at a moderate CAGR of 3.4% between 2022 and 2032, reaching a valuation of US$ 25,623.0 Million by the end of the forecast period (2032).
The market has been significantly influenced by certain macroeconomic and industrial factors including chemical industries development, rapid economic boom, expansion of the manufacturing sector, and growth of the agricultural industry.
Sulfuric acid, also known as oil of vitriol, is a strong mineral acid that finds application in diverse industries including metal extraction, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. It has become a key constituent utilized for the manufacturing of phosphate-based fertilizers.
Thus, the need for increasing crop production all over the globe will indirectly push the demand for sulfuric acid during the forecast period. Similarly, development in the chemical industry and growing demand for catalysts in the processing industries are also expected to boost the growth of the sulfuric acid market.
