The Middle East & Africa Sulphuric Acid market demand stood at 42.7 million tonnes in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.23% during the forecast period until 2034.
Sulfuric acid serves as a crucial ingredient in the production of phosphate fertilizers, which encompass calcium dihydrogen phosphate, diammonium phosphate, and triple superphosphate. The manufacture of phosphate fertilizers predominantly requires raw materials rich in sulphur content, making sulfuric acid the preferred option for this purpose. Beyond its vital role in phosphate fertilizer production, sulfuric acid boasts a wide array of applications across various industries. In the realm of chemical manufacturing, it acts as a pivotal component for synthesizing a diverse range of chemicals such as nitric acid and synthetic detergents, often functioning as a catalyst in essential chemical reactions and contributing to the synthesis of sulfate salts. Within the petroleum sector, sulfuric acid plays a critical role in refining processes by efficiently removing impurities from crude oil and petroleum products, particularly sulfur compounds, thereby facilitating the production of cleaner fuels. Furthermore, in metal processing operations like pickling and electroplating, sulfuric acid plays an instrumental role in eliminating oxides and scale from metal surfaces.
In the Middle East & Africa region, the sulphuric acid demand is indeed primed for rapid growth, driven by a multitude of end uses, one of which is phosphate fertilizers. Phosphate fertilizers play a pivotal role in agricultural practices by enriching soil fertility and promoting robust crop growth. As a result, the demand for phosphate fertilizers is consistently high in the region due to its large agricultural sector and the need to support food production to meet the demands of a growing population. Furthermore, the increasing utilization of sulphuric acid in chemical production, metal processing, and phosphating also serve as another significant factor driving market dynamics. Thus, Middle East & Africa Sulphuric Acid market is likely to reach roughly 60.7 million tonnes in 2034.
Based on the end-user industry, the Middle East & Africa Sulphuric Acid market is segmented into Phosphate Fertilizers, Metal Processing, Phosphating, Fibres, Paints & Pigments, and Others.
