[Online Quarterly Update] India Sulphuric Acid market stood at 14.15 Million Tonnes in FY2021 and is forecast to reach 24.40 Million Tonnes by FY2030, growing at a healthy CAGR of 6.24% until FY2030. Sulphuric Acid is a colorless, highly corrosive diprotic acid finding various applications in the chemical industry due to its extraordinary oxidizing and dehydrating properties. The surge in the consumption of Sulphuric Acid in India is augmented by the overall growth of the Indian chemical industry wherein it is widely utilized for synthesizing myriad derivatives. Sulphuric Acid is primarily being used as a feedstock for the synthesis of nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers against the backdrop of its abundant demand from the fertilizer industry. Besides this, the growing consumption of Sulphuric Acid in the water treatment process and metal processing is anticipated to contribute well to propel its demand in the forecast period. Coronavirus outbreak in the country in the final quarter of FY20 has hindered the sturdy fundamentals of the domestic Sulphuric Acid market. Subdued offtakes for downstream derivatives as a repercussion caused by the nationwide lockdown in March overshadowed its slacked production margins disrupted by the forced turnaround in various chemical refineries. Slowed operations in the fertilizer industry followed by the temporary turnarounds in some of the major downstream companies negatively affected its growth rate in the final quarter. However, demand fundamentals for Sulphuric Acid are expected to showcase a V-shaped recovery with scheduled capacity additions in its downstream derivatives under the government initiative of self-reliant India.
Sulphuric Acid can be produced by either the smelter or sulfur route. Owing to the extensive demand for Sulphuric acid in the country, more than 90% of Sulphur produced in the domestic market is directed to manufacture Sulphuric Acid. On the back of the high yield and affordability, Double Conversion Double Absorption (DCDA) process technology is presently the widely used process for its production. The Single Conversion and Single Absorption (SCSA) process is another popular production method for manufacturing Sulphuric Acid. There are several organized and unorganized players operating in the India Sulphuric Acid market, making it highly fragmented. However, one-fourth share of the total production comes from the 6 leading market players. As of 2020, Hindustan Zinc Limited is the largest manufacturer of Sulphuric Acid operating in the domestic market. With favorable initiatives by the Indian government for the expansion of the manufacturing facilities in India, there exists a huge opportunity for manufacturers eyeing to widen their domestic revenues
