Sulfuric Acid Market to Reach Valuation of USD 17.3 Billion by 2028 Increasing Demand for Fertilizers Across the GlobeDrives the Market

Author Lead Strategy Analyst
Released: May 17, 2026
"This analysis explores the critical shifts in the sector, highlighting a projected growth trajectory driven by technological integration and changing consumer dynamics."

In terms of revenue, the Global Sulfuric Acid Market is expected to reach USD 17.3 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 4.9% from 2022 to 2028.

The increase in market growth can be ascribed to the strict environmental rules that are in place to restrict emissions, which are predicted to cause an increase in the use of smelters to absorb sulfur dioxide products. The industry is anticipated to grow due to rising demand for the product from the fertilizer, chemical manufacturing, paper & pulp, petroleum refinery, metal processing, and automotive industries for usage as a catalyst, dehydrating agent, and reactant. In addition, growing concerns from the agricultural sector regarding high crop yield and outstanding food quality are anticipated to drive the fertilizer market’s expansion, likely to spark the Sulfuric Acid Market.

Key Developments in the Industry

· WeylChem International GmbH successfully acquired and integrated INEOS Sulfur Chemicals Spain SLU, which produces the most sulfur chemicals in Spain. The newly acquired company includes a cutting-edge facility in Bilbao with a 350,000-tonne yearly capacity for producingSulfuric Acid Market. The newly combined sulfur company is currently known as "WeylChem Bilbao."

· The Boliden group announced its plans to invest 700 million euros in expanding its Odda zinc smelter in western Norway in July 2021. The Odda facility would have a new roaster, a new Sulfuric Acid Market plant, and a new cell house. It is expected to have a 350,000 tons/year capacity after the projected capacity increase by 75%. In addition, the infrastructure of the foundry and quay, as well as the current leaching and purifying facility, will also be extended and improved. In 2024, the expansion is expected to be finished.

· On the grounds of the fertilizer cooperative IFFCO’s Paradip division, the Chief Minister of Odisha in India lay the cornerstone for a Sulfuric Acid Market manufacturing facility in July 2021. Operation of the project is anticipated to begin in 2023, with an estimated cost of 400 crore INR. The reliance on chemical imports will decline thanks to this new manufacturing facility. This facility, which has a daily production capacity of around 2,000 metric tonnes (MT), is IFFCO’s third Sulfuric Acid Market production facility.

· Coromandel International Limited will debut a new Sulfuric Acid Market production facility in the fertilising industry in November of 2021.

· Sumitomo Chemical Corporation introduced Sulfuric Acid Market in August of 2021 with expanded Sulfuric Acid Market output and purity to meet the growing demand from the semiconductor and automotive industries.
