Sulfuric acid, also called vitriol, is a mineral acid that is composed of sulfur, hydrogen, and oxygen. It is odorless, colorless, and highly exothermic in nature. Moreover, it is a syrupy liquid that is soluble in water along with being a highly strong corrosive mineral acid. Sulfuric acid exhibits different properties for different materials depending on the level of concentration. It is mostly used in the production of chemicals to make sulfate pigments, salts, dyes, sulfate salts, and nitric acid. In addition, it also serves as an electrolyte in the lead-acid storage batteries. Some key methods used in producing sulfuric acid include the wet sulfuric acid process (gas desulfurization processes) and contact process (production of sulfuric acid at high concentration). The production of sulfuric acid comprises four stages—extraction of sulfur, conversion of sulfur into sulfur dioxide, conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfur trioxide, and transformation of sulfur trioxide into sulfuric acid.

The rising demand for sulfuric acid for manufacturing chemicals and fertilizers and metal processing is likely to fuel the market for sulfuric acid in the future. Sulfuric acid is used as a dehydrating agent, catalyst, and reactant by the automotive industry is anticipated to further drive this market’s growth in the forecast time period. Sulfuric acid is a good catalyst owing to its strong proton donor. It is also a good dehydrating agent that helps in sequestering water produced during the reaction. Furthermore, the growing concerns of high crop yield and excellent food quality from agricultural sector are projected to propel the fertilizer market, which, in turn, is anticipated to boost the sulfuric acid market in the upcoming years. In addition, the increasing use of sulfuric acid in automotive batteries is further expected to boost the sulfuric acid market in the years ahead. However, stringent environmental regulations due to the toxic effects of sulfuric acid and adverse effects on human health, such as eyes irritation, skin irritation, and skin sensitiveness, might hamper the sulfuric acid market globally in the forecast time period.
