Baseline Methodology :

For the study of Global Sulphuric Acid Market, TechSci Research has gathered information through an exhaustive

search of credible databases and organizations such as Department of Fertilizers, Ministry of Chemicals & Fertilizers,

Fertilizer Association of India, Food And Agriculture Organization Of The United Nations etc., including our internal

database. Our team of analysts has then prudently evaluated all the collected information and presented the same

in chronological order to depict a meaningful and clear picture of the sulphuric acid market across the globe. While

compiling the data, we have also cross checked all the collected information from multiple sources and data

warehouses, so that we can present the most accurate and precise information of the concerned industry. For the

purpose of calculating the overall global market for sulphuric acid, consumption of sulphuric acid and production of

phosphate fertilizers have been thoroughly analyzed and demand for each segment is projected separately to arrive

at a reasonable figure for Global Sulphuric Acid Market size by 2025.

P r o d u c t O v e r v i e w

Sulphuric acid is also called oil of vitriol and is a dense, colorless, oily and corrosive mineral acid, which is one of

the most-used chemical for various industrial purposes across the globe. Sulphuric acid is produced by two

major processes, lead chamber and contact process. Both of these processes include oxidization of sulphur di-

oxide and its dissolution in water. Lead chamber process is a conventional method to produce sulphuric acid

which is majorly used in manufacturing of fertilizers, while contact process produces more concentrated

sulphuric acid and requires purest for of available raw materials.

Sulphuric acid is majorly utilized for production of phosphate fertilizers, especially wet-process phosphoric acid.

However, sulphuric acid consumption in chemical synthesis, metal processing and other industrial applications is

gaining popularity. Other important applications are in petroleum refining, steel pickling, rayon & staple fiber,

alum, explosives, detergents, plastics and fibers etc.

Sulphuric acid is produced in 4 main steps:

a) Extraction of elemental sulphur

b) Conversion of elemental sulphur to sulphur di-oxide (SO2)

c) Conversion of sulphur di-oxide to sulphur tr-ioxide (SO3)

d) Conversion of sulphur tr-ioxide to sulphuric acid.

Three main processes to produce sulphuric acid differ by the raw material that is used to make intermediate

sulphur di-oxide (SO2) gas. After formation of sulphur di-oxide, the manufacturing processes convert it to

sulphuric acid in a similar way. 11

Table 1: Principal Metal Sulphides Producing Sulphur Di-Oxide

Burning of sulphur is most widely used method for producing sulphuric acid across the world. Elemental sulphur

is recovered from desulphurization of natural gas or crude oil. Around 87% of global sulphur produced is used

for the manufacturing of sulphuric acid.

Many metal ores occur as sulphides and they emit gases, which contain sulphur di-oxide that is released when it

is roasted during metallurgical processes. This SO2 is further processed to produce sulphuric acid. For instance,

in the process of extraction of copper metal, sulphuric acid is recovered as a by-product from off-gases

generated from smelting and converting furnaces.

Pyrite roasting is another method for producing sulphuric acid, wherein pyrite ores are roasted in fluidized beds.

The gases released from the roasters contain high content of sulphur di-oxide, which is converted to sulphuric

acid.

Sulphuric Acid Market Size to Cross $18 Billion by 2020

According to TechSci Research report, “Global Sulphuric Acid Market, By Manufacturing Process, ByApplication, By Region Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 - 2025”, the global sulphuric acidmarket is projected to register sales of $18 Billion in 2020, on account of surging demand for phosphatefertilizers such as DAP (diammonium phosphate), MAP (monoammonium phosphate), TSP (triplesuperphosphate), SSP (single superphosphate), etc. Global demand for phosphate fertilizers is projected toincrease from 42.1 million tons in 2015 to 45.6 million tons by 2019. Furthermore, global phosphoric acidproduction is anticipated to increase from 46 million tons in 2015 to 51.9 million tons by 2019, therebyaugmenting consumption of sulphuric acid for production of phosphate fertilizers in the coming years. Thus,expanding capacity to produce more phosphates, coupled with growing application of sulphuric acid as a rawmaterial for chemical manufacturing processes and in metal leaching are further expected to drive globalsulphuric acid market through 2025.

Global sulphuric acid market was dominated by Asia-Pacific in 2015, and the trend is anticipated to continuethrough 2025, owing to vast production capacity of sulphuric acid and phosphate fertilizers. The region houseselemental sulphur and base metal smelters in countries such as China, India, South Korea and Japan.Moreover, sulphur combustion dominated global sulphuric acid market in 2015, and is expected to furthercontinue dominating the market through 2025, owing to increasing desulphurization of fuels. Furthermore,sulphur combustion provides economic benefits to refinery and petrochemical plant owners, as they can easilycapture sulphur through installation of a desulphurization unit.

“Europe is expected to witness imbalance in demand and supply equilibrium of sulphuric acid in the comingyears, on account of declining demand from traditional customers of European smelters. However, owing togrowing demand for phosphate fertilizers in APAC, coupled with expanding production capacity in variousregions across the globe to drive global sulphuric acid market through 2025.”, said Mr. Karan Chechi, ResearchDirector with TechSci Research, a research based global management consulting firm.
