Sulfuric Acid Price Trend and Supply Factors | Global Update Sept 2025

Northeast Asia Sulfuric Acid Prices Movement September 2025:

In September 2025, sulfuric acid prices in Northeast Asia averaged 112.64 USD/MT, reflecting a 1.2% increase from the previous month. The rise was attributed to steady demand from fertilizer and chemical manufacturing sectors. Additionally, higher feedstock costs and supply constraints in some regions contributed to the upward movement in market prices.

Europe Sulfuric Acid Prices Movement September 2025:

In Europe, sulfuric acid prices declined to 146.75 USD/MT in September 2025, marking a 5.2% decrease. The drop was mainly due to sluggish demand from downstream industries and lower sulfur costs. Ample inventory levels and weak industrial output across major European economies also exerted downward pressure on the regional market.

Factors Affecting Sulfuric Acid Supply and Prices

1. Raw Material Availability
The production of sulfuric acid heavily depends on sulfur and smelter gases. Any fluctuation in sulfur availability or refinery operations directly impacts supply. Limited sulfur output or refinery shutdowns can tighten supply, leading to price hikes in the global sulfuric acid market.

2. Energy and Production Costs
Sulfuric acid manufacturing is energy-intensive. Rising energy and transportation costs increase overall production expenses. In regions where fuel and electricity prices surge, producers often pass on these additional costs to buyers, influencing market prices and trade competitiveness.

3. Environmental Regulations
Strict environmental and emission control policies affect sulfuric acid production. Plants must invest in advanced pollution control technologies, raising operational costs. In some regions, compliance issues can even reduce output capacity, constraining supply and leading to upward price movements.

4. Industrial Demand
Demand from end-use industries such as fertilizers, chemicals, and metallurgy plays a crucial role in price dynamics. When fertilizer production ramps up during the agricultural season, sulfuric acid consumption rises sharply, putting pressure on available inventories and boosting prices temporarily.

5. Global Trade and Logistics
Transportation bottlenecks, export restrictions, or port congestions can disrupt supply chains. Since sulfuric acid is a hazardous liquid, its handling and shipping require strict safety measures, which can add logistical costs and influence pricing trends across key markets.

Trend

The global sulfuric acid market exhibited mixed trends in September 2025. While Northeast Asia experienced a mild price rise due to limited supply and steady consumption, Europe and North America witnessed downward movement amid weak industrial activities. The overall market trend indicated a regional imbalance between supply and demand dynamics.

Demand and Uses

1. Fertilizer Production
Sulfuric acid is a critical input in producing phosphate fertilizers like superphosphate and ammonium sulfate. The agricultural sector is the largest consumer, and seasonal crop cycles significantly influence demand levels worldwide.

2. Chemical Manufacturing
It serves as a key raw material in producing chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and synthetic detergents. The chemical industry's growth directly correlates with sulfuric acid demand trends.

3. Metal Processing
In the metallurgy sector, sulfuric acid is widely used for ore leaching and metal surface treatment. Increased mining activities or steel production can boost demand for the compound.

4. Petroleum Refining
Sulfuric acid is employed in petroleum refining processes, particularly in alkylation units. Growth in fuel demand or refining capacity expansions often support stronger sulfuric acid consumption.

5. Water Treatment and Battery Manufacturing
Rising use in water treatment and lead-acid battery manufacturing-especially with the growth of automotive and industrial applications-continues to support steady demand in both developed and emerging economies.
