In 2024, the market size stood at US$ 40.23 billion (base year 2024) according to Strategic Revenue Insights. By 2033 the market is forecast to reach US$ 57.86 billion, based on the 4.12% CAGR from 2025 to 2033. This progression underscores how the Sulphuric Acid market is maintaining consistent growth through multiple industrial applications.

The growth of the Sulphuric Acid market is underpinned by several key drivers. First and foremost, fertilizer production remains a core engine: sulphuric acid is critical in phosphate fertilizer manufacture, and as global agricultural output climbs so does demand. The chemical manufacturing sectorcovering intermediates, acid leaching, battery acid production and other usesalso contributes significantly to expansion.

Meanwhile, growth in metal processing, automotive manufacturing and textile industries adds further tailwinds. On the flip side, manufacturers must navigate tightening environmental regulation around sulphur dioxide and acid mist emissions, raw material (elemental sulfur) price volatility and intensifying cost pressures for pollution control technologies.

Regionally the Sulphuric Acid market shows marked variation. Asia Pacific holds a dominant position thanks to heavy fertilizer usage, rising industrialization and infrastructure build out. For example, India exhibits strong growth with a forecast CAGR of around 6% and a market size of ~US$ 1.5 billion cited for 2024.

Meanwhile the United States is also significant (market size roughly US$ 2.8 billion in 2024) though growth is more modest (~3%). European markets such as Germany show more constrained expansion (around 2% CAGR) given mature industrial bases and higher regulatory burdens. Latin America has room to grow Brazil is cited with a market size of about US$ 1 billion in 2024 and a CAGR of ~4%. These regional dynamics reflect how mature markets face regulatory cost pressures while emerging regions drive volume growth.

In terms of segmentation, the report divides the Sulphuric Acid market by raw material source (elemental sulfur, base metal smelters, pyrite ore), by application (fertilizers, chemical manufacturing, metal processing, petroleum refining, textile industry, automotive and others), and by end user industry (agriculture, chemical industry, metal processing, petroleum refining, textile, automotive and others).

The elemental sulfur route remains the dominant feedstock, primarily due to its availability as a by product in oil and gas refining and its cost effectiveness; however its price vulnerability is a constraint. On the application front, fertilizer manufacturing leads consumption, followed by chemical intermediate uses and metal processing; other segments such as textiles and automotive are smaller but growing.

Major participants in the market include global chemical giants such as BASF SE, The Mosaic Company, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., AkzoNobel N.V. and PVS Chemicals, Inc.. Additional players cited include Chemtrade Logistics Inc., Aurubis AG and Vale Fertilizantes S.A.. These companies are engaged in strategies such as capacity expansions, green technology investments, and strategic partnerships to strengthen their positions in the competitive Sulphuric Acid market.

Looking ahead to 2033, the Sulphuric Acid market has clear opportunities. Growth in precision agriculture, driven by sustainable farming practices and nutrient efficient fertilizers, will boost sulphuric acid demand via its role in phosphate fertiliser production. On the industrial end, increasing demand for higher purity acid grades, advancements in acid recovery and recycling technology, and growth in battery manufacturing (particularly lead acid and emerging battery systems) will open new application spaces.

At the same time, companies that can mitigate cost pressure from raw material fluctuations and strengthen their environmental compliance infrastructure will gain competitive advantage. These factors together point to a future where the Sulphuric Acid market not only grows in size but evolves in scope.
