Description

The global anhydrous sulphuric acid market size, valued at USD 11.42 billion in 2020 and reach USD 13.47 billion in 2027, registering a sluggish 2.87% CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2027. Continued demand for phosphate fertilizers from the agricultural industry is majorly sustaining the sales of anhydrous sulphuric acid in the global market. The market for anhydrous sulphuric acid is likely to slightly boost the demand coming in from the automotive industry during the forecast period.

Factors to be Influencing Performance of Anhydrous Sulphuric Acid Market over Forecast Period:

• The rising demand for higher crop yield and decreasing availability of fertile land due to urbanization has led to increased dependency on fertilizers, especially phosphate fertilizers. This soaring demand for phosphate fertilizers is projected to drive the anhydrous sulphuric acid market over the forecast period.
• The growing application of anhydrous sulphuric acid in the automobile industry to manufacture various types of batteries is projected to induce a slight uptick in the anhydrous sulphuric acid market.
• The increasing stringent government regulations on the usage of anhydrous sulphuric acid, as the production process is environmentally unsustainable, are likely to hinder the growth of the anhydrous sulphuric acid market over the forecast period.
• The increasing investments in development activities related to the chemical synthesis of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid, among other industrial chemicals, are accelerating demand for anhydrous sulphuric acid as raw material, thereby pushing the growth of the market.
• The growing demand for detergents is also expected to propel the growth of the anhydrous sulphuric acid market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Anhydrous Sulphuric Acid Market:

The COVID-19 crisis has significantly affected the anhydrous sulphuric acid market resulting in a decrease in overall demand. The economic slowdown and recession have caused a major decrease in demand for products of the end-use industries, which is expected to negatively impact the anhydrous sulphuric acid market in the initial years of the forecast period. The increasing surplus of sulphuric acid and serious disruption of the entire supply chain are crucial challenges the anhydrous sulphuric acid market is experiencing. Combined cooperative efforts from all the stakeholders are required to curtail them and get the market back on track.
