Sulphuric Acid Market will reach $57.86 Billion by 2033- Strategic Revenue Insights

London, UK – November 2025 | Strategic Revenue Insights Inc. – The global Sulphuric Acid market is on track to reach US$57.86 billion by 2033, according to new research from Strategic Revenue Insights. The report finds that the sector, valued at US$40.23 billion in 2024, will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.12 % over the 2025–2033 forecast period.

Sulphuric acid remains a foundational industrial chemical, widely used across fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, and metal processing. According to the report, rising demand from agricultural applications especially phosphate-based fertilizers is a core driver. At the same time, growth in the chemical synthesis of intermediates and scale-intensive activities in metals refining is reinforcing demand for sulphuric acid.

The market also benefits from technology advances in manufacturing: producers are investing in cleaner, more efficient processes to reduce emissions and improve cost efficiency, helping them navigate increasing regulatory pressure. These dynamics, coupled with volatile raw material pricing particularly of elemental sulfur shape both the growth path and challenges ahead.

Geographically, the Asia-Pacific region takes a leading role. In particular, China’s large-scale industrial base for metals and chemicals gives it significant weight, while India is highlighted for its “rapidly expanding agricultural and industrial activity,” driving a local CAGR of around 6% in the sulphuric acid market per Strategic Revenue Insights. Other regions also contribute meaningfully: the United States shows steady demand from its mature fertilizer and chemical sectors, while Europe, led by Germany, pushes forward with stricter environmental standards and production innovation. Brazil, too, emerges in the Latin American market, where agriculture and industrial infrastructure are key levers of demand.

When it comes to market segmentation, Strategic Revenue Insights divides the sulphuric acid space by application. Fertilizers remain dominant, but chemical manufacturing and metal processing are fast-growing. Within chemical manufacturing, sulphuric acid is used to produce important compounds for instance, in acid leaching, battery acid production, and in the creation of sulfate salts. Metal processing, meanwhile, employs acid for pickling and refining of base metals. The report also notes a rising role for dilute and specialized grades of acid, as industries demand more tailored chemistries to meet performance and environmental targets.

To support this growth, major players in the sulphuric acid market are making strategic moves. Although the Strategic Revenue Insights summary does not list every company, it aligns with industry intelligence that names companies such as BASF SE, Aarti Industries, Aurubis AG, Chemtrade Logistics, and Nutrien Ltd. as prominent reflecting both global reach and capacity to scale in response to rising demand.

Looking ahead, the opportunity in the sulphuric acid market is strong. First, agricultural demand is unlikely to abate: the need for more efficient, high-yield fertilizers continues to drive acid consumption. Second, chemical industries are pursuing deeper vertical integration, raising demand for acid in intermediate syntheses. Third, environmental regulation, while a challenge, opens up a premium segment: cleaner, lower-emission acid production and recycling capacity could unlock growth. Finally, as the energy transition accelerates, there is potential for acid use in emerging areas such as battery recycling and advanced materials.

Strategic Revenue Insights believes that companies which invest in sustainable production, diversify their grade offerings (e.g., dilute, ultra-pure), and optimize the supply chain will be best positioned to capture value in this evolving landscape.
