The
global sulfuric acid market is expected to be valued at USD 13.45 billion by
2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing
investments in plant facilities due to the rising production capacity of
phosphate fertilizer and tightening environmental regulations are anticipated
to spur the market over the foreseeable period.
Rising
demand for the production of nutrient-rich food crops is expected to boost the
industry. Increasing requirement for the continuous & sustainable H2SO4 product
for the manufacturing of phosphate fertilizer, inorganic chemicals, detergents
& soaps, dyes, and gasoline is expected to trigger industry growth over the
forecast period.
Growing
suppliers of sulfuric acid in Saudi Arabia due to the presence of large number
of acid manufacturing facilities to strengthen the growth of phosphate is
expected to spur the Middle East regional market. Factors such as increase in
the number of initiatives carried out by companies such as DuPont, Outotec, and
Sumitomo Corporation to expand their plant facilities, enhance distribution
network, and expand processing capacities are projected to propel the market
over the next eight years.
