Sulfuric Acid Prices, Trend, Index & Analysis Nov 2025

Northeast Asia Sulfuric Acid Prices Movement October 2025:

In November 2025, sulfuric acid prices in Northeast Asia rose to 120.33 USD/MT, recording a strong 16.7% increase. The surge was driven by tighter supply, strong fertilizer demand, and reduced smelter output. Refinery maintenance and higher input costs further supported the price uptrend across regional markets.

Europe Sulfuric Acid Prices Movement October 2025:

In Europe, sulfuric acid prices slipped to 154.96 USD/MT in November 2025, marking a 1.7% decline. Weak downstream demand from chemicals and fertilizers, improved supply availability, and easing energy costs contributed to the downward price movement. Stable imports and reduced logistical pressures also weighed on market sentiment.

What is Sulfuric Acid?

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is one of the world's most widely used industrial chemicals, essential in applications such as fertilizer production, metal processing, battery manufacturing, and chemical synthesis. It serves as a key feedstock across mining, refining, and industrial processing, making it a major indicator of global industrial activity.

Factors Affecting Sulfuric Acid Supply and Prices (Nov 2025)

1. Raw Material and Feedstock Availability

Sulfur availability from petroleum refining and smelter operations strongly impacts sulfuric acid output. Any disruption in sulfur supply, such as refinery maintenance or lower smelter activity, directly tightens production and raises prices.

2. Energy and Production Costs
Sulfuric acid production is energy-intensive. Changes in natural gas or electricity prices influence manufacturing costs. In November 2025, regions with easing energy prices experienced more stable or declining sulfuric acid values.

3. Fertilizer and Industrial Demand
Demand from phosphate fertilizers, metal extraction, and chemical processing remains a major driver. Seasonal agricultural consumption and fluctuations in mining activity significantly contribute to price movements.

4. Supply Chain and Logistics Conditions
Freight, port congestion, and transportation bottlenecks add cost burdens and influence regional price differentials. Improved logistics in some markets contributed to softer pricing in late 2025.

5. Environmental Regulations
Stricter emission norms for smelters and refiners affect sulfur output and operational costs. Compliance pressures in certain countries tightened supply and supported higher prices.

6. Global Trade Dynamics
Import-export parity, currency fluctuations, and regional market imbalances shape the pricing environment. Increased cross-regional imports helped stabilize prices in Europe and

North America during November 2025.

Sulfuric Acid Price Index (Nov 2025)

The price index for sulfuric acid in November 2025 reflected mixed global trends:
• Northeast Asia: Strong upward movement due to tighter supply and refinery constraints.
• Europe: Slight downward index values, supported by stable supply and weaker industrial demand.
• North America: Mild decline driven by sufficient inventories and easing feedstock costs.

Latest News Impacting the Market (Nov 2025)

1. Smelter Output Cuts in Asia
Reduced smelting activity in parts of Northeast Asia tightened sulfur availability, resulting in significant price escalation.

2. Easing Energy Costs in Europe
Lower natural gas prices supported production and added downward pressure to sulfuric acid values in European markets.

3. Stable Mining Demand in South & North America
While metal extraction demand remained steady, ample inventories helped prevent major price spikes across North America.

Trend Analysis - November 2025

The global sulfuric acid market showed a mixed trend:
• Northeast Asia: Strong upward trajectory driven by supply constraints and refinery maintenance.
• Europe: Slight softening due to balanced supply and weaker demand in fertilizers and chemicals.
• North America: Stable-to-soft trend owing to adequate production and lowering sulfur feedstock costs.
Future Demand Outlook (2026 and Beyond)
Sulfuric acid demand is expected to grow steadily, supported by:
• Rising phosphate fertilizer consumption.
• Increasing use in lithium-ion battery production as EV adoption expands.
• Growing metal extraction and smelting activity in developing regions.
• Expansion of chemical manufacturing and refinery capacity in Asia and the Middle East.

Technological improvements and circular sulfur recovery methods may help stabilize long-term supply.

Current Demand and Uses (2025)
1. Fertilizer Industry
The largest consumer, using sulfuric acid for producing phosphate fertilizers like superphosphate and MAP/DAP.
2. Metal Processing & Mining
Used in leaching processes for copper, zinc, and other metals.
3. Petroleum Refining
Critical for alkylation processes in fuel manufacturing.
4. Chemical Manufacturing
Key raw material for detergents, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals.
5. Lead-Acid Battery Production
