Market Dynamic
GROWING DEMAND FROM VARIOUS END-USE INDUSTRY BOOST THE MARKET FOR SULFUR
Sulfuric acid is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, and it is also one of the most widely used raw materials in manufacturing. It is used in various applications, including the production of semiconductors, detergents, and disinfectants. The market for sulfuric acid will grow as demand for these end-use industries grows.
HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES HAMPER THE MARKET GROWTH
Sulfuric acid is a highly corrosive liquid. It is used in a wide range of industries, including petroleum refining and the chemical industry. It can be used as an intermediate in the production of many other chemicals such as sodium hydrogen sulfide, aluminum chloride, sodium carbonate, and ammonia.
Sulfuric acid has a strong odor but no distinctive taste or color. This makes it easy to detect if there has been any leakage into the environment when transporting this product.
THE GROWING DEMAND FOR WASTE-WATER TREATMENT PROJECTS WILL CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE MARKET
Wastewater treatment is carried out for environmental protection and sulfuric acid is the most widely used chemical to bring the pH level of wastewater back to normal. Sulfuric acid helps in pH level neutralization and eliminating solid particles such as polymers, alums, and ferric chloride. It also controls and prevents offensive odor found in wastewater and destroys pathogens that can spread diseases. Using sulfuric acid in chemical treatment enables the separation of water and sludge COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a decrease in the economy, which has resulted in loss and debt for some industries. However, some industries are experiencing a rise in demand and profit, like the healthcare, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Sulphuric acid is one such product that is used in the production of pesticides and cleaning products. Cleaning products are highly needed during this period due to the high risk of contracting corona cases. With more people seeking to clean their houses during this time, the demand for cleaning products rises significantly. This increase in demand results in an increase in sales for this particular industry as well as other related industries such as agriculture and food processing.

Segment-Wise Analysis
Why are Fertilizers projected to ensure the most revenue during the forecast period?
At 55.0% of the market, Fertilizers had the greatest revenue share. Sulfuric acid is a key raw material that reacts with phosphate rock in the processing plant to generate phosphoric acid and phosphogypsum. Phosphoric acid is formed as an intermediary product in the production of all high-grade phosphate fertilizers. With the growing need for an increase in yield from farmers and decreasing availability of fertile land for agricultural practices due to growing urbanization, the demand for fertilizers is estimated to increase rapidly. These are some factors that will drive the market for the segment.
Why is the elemental sulfur segment the largest market during the forecast period?
Elemental sulfur is mainly recovered from petroleum refineries and natural gas operations. Sulfur ranks as one of the most important elements used as an industrial raw material and is of prime importance to the fertilizer and manufacturing industries. Elemental sulfur is one of the widely used raw materials in the manufacturing of sulfuric acid Thus, with growth in demand for sulfuric acid in various industries, the demand for this segment is expected to boost during the forecast period.
