Description

Sulfuric Acid Market Summary

The global sulfuric acid market size was estimated at USD 14,445.4 million in 2025 and is anticipated to reach USD 21,148.04 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2026 to 2033. The market growth is driven by expanding metals and mining activities, particularly in copper and non-ferrous metal processing where sulfuric acid is a critical input for leaching and refining.

Rising demand for metals from infrastructure development, electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and battery manufacturing is leading to higher mining output and smelting capacity, thereby increasing consistent, large-volume consumption of sulfuric acid across key industrial regions.

Sulfuric acid demand is significantly supported by its extensive use in phosphate fertilizer production. With growing global food demand and the need to improve agricultural productivity, fertilizer manufacturers are increasing output, directly driving steady sulfuric acid consumption.

The accelerating adoption of electric vehicles and energy storage systems presents a key growth opportunity for the sulfuric acid market. Increasing production of lead-acid batteries and upstream metal refining for battery materials is expected to create sustained incremental demand.
