Based on raw material, the sulfuric acid market is segmented into elemental sulfur, pyrite ores, base metal smelters, and others. Sulfur is the major raw material used in the production of sulfuric acid. Elemental sulfur is expected to account for largest share in 2022, in terms of volume. Around 90% of sulfur produced goes into the manufacturing of sulfuric acid. Thus, the use of elemental sulfur as a major feedstock for the production of sulfuric acid, fuels the growth of this segment.
Based on application, the sulfuric acid market is segmented into fertilizers, metal processing, pulp & paper, petroleum refining, textile industry, automotive, chemical manufacturing, and others. Fertilizer application is expected to account for largest share in 2022, in terms of volume. The growth can be attributed to the use of about 50%-60% of sulfuric acid in manufacturing of phosphate fertilizers such as superphosphate of lime and ammonium sulfate.
Based on region, the sulfuric acid market is segmented into North America, Western Europe, Central & Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market for sulfuric acid, in terms of value and volume, in 2022. The increasing demand for sulfuric acid for fertilizers, chemical manufacturing, metal processing, and automotive industries in China, Japan, and Indonesia is driving the market in Asia Pacific.
