Sulfuric Acid Market in the US - Segmentation Assessment

Segment Overview

This report extensively covers market segmentation by raw material (elemental sulfur, base metal smelters, pyrite ore, and others) and application (fertilizer, chemical production, metal processing, and others). 

• The market share growth by the elemental sulfur segment will be significant for the market growth during the forecast period. In sulfur recovery plants, hydrogen sulfide is mainly heat treated to form elemental sulfur. It serves as a key building block in the synthesis of chemicals such as sulfuric acid, carbon disulfide, and organosulfur compounds used in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Sulfuric acid, which is used by the chemical industry worldwide, is produced using significant amounts of elemental sulfur. The production of sulfuric acid in a sulfuric acid plant involves burning elemental sulfur with air to produce sulfur dioxide, which is oxidized to sulfur trioxide in the presence of a vanadium oxide catalyst. Following this, SO₃ is absorbed by water to form sulfuric acid.

Sulfuric Acid Market in the US – Market Dynamics

Key Trends - 

• Sulfuric acid recovery at smelters is a major trend in the growth of the US sulfuric acid market. 
• Sulfuric acid can be made from metallurgical by-products.
• Sulfuric acid plants are installed in copper production plants to limit SO₂ emissions in new and existing smelters.
• By installing an efficient sulfuric acid plant, we are reducing sulfur combustion and contributing to the recycling of smelting residue.
• This process is widely used in the metals and oil and gas industries to process unwanted by-products. 

Major challenges - 

• Fluctuations in raw material prices pose a major challenge to the growth of the US sulfuric acid market.
• Over the past three to four years, the market has been characterized by fluctuations in the cost of sulfuric acid and its raw materials, as well as fluctuations in sulfur prices due to several refinery closures.
• For example, in October 2021, DuPont Clean Technologies (DuPont de Nemours Inc.) announced a price increase of USD 1.80 per liter for Cesium MECS sulfate catalyst products and USD 0.30 per liter for all other MECS sulfate catalyst products.
• Overall, these fluctuations in sulfur and sulfuric acid prices will impede market growth during the forecast period due to supply and demand imbalances or oversupply of these commodities.
