Sulfuric Acid Prices Surge Amid Rising Sulfur Feedstock Costs and Supply Chain Disruptions
Sulfuric Acid Prices
The sulfuric acid market in China has seen a sharp year-over-year (YoY) price increase in 2024, driven by evolving supply-demand dynamics and rising pressure from the fertilizer and industrial sectors. While prices remained flat month-on-month in Q4 2024, the YoY change reveals significant upward momentum that reflects tightening supply and strategic stockpiling.

In October 2023, sulfuric acid was priced at $40 USD/ton, the same as in October 2024, yet this represented a 30% YoY increase. The apparent price stability on the surface is misleading without considering that prices in late 2022 and early 2023 had dropped to historically low levels due to surplus supply and weak downstream demand. The rebound in late 2024 indicates a recovery phase in the market.
November 2024 prices held steady at $39 USD/ton, again unchanged from the previous year's figure but reflecting a 45% YoY increase. This trend points to a firmer market foundation, supported by steady demand from key end-use sectors like fertilizers, chemicals, and metal processing.
In December 2024, prices returned to $40 USD/ton, the same as December 2023, but registered a 50% YoY rise, underscoring a stronger price floor heading into 2025.
According to Expert Market Research, a price spike is expected in Q1 2025, driven by anticipated supply constraints and surging demand from the fertilizer industry, which typically peaks during early planting seasons. Additional upward pressure may stem from higher input costs and logistical bottlenecks.
For buyers and industry stakeholders, this signals a potentially volatile first quarter in 2025. Strategic procurement and inventory planning will be critical to mitigate the impact of sudden price escalations, especially in regions dependent on sulfuric acid imports.
