Global Sulfuric Acid Market: Fertilizers Segment to Remain as Key Contributor, says TMR

The global sulfuric acid market is characterized as a highly competitive and fragmented in nature, thanks to the presence of a large number of players operating in it, states a research study by Transparency Market Research (TMR). In 2014, the leading players in the global sulfuric acid market, namely PotashCrop, The Mosaic Company, and Vale Fertilizers collectively accounted for a share of 10.5% of the overall market. In order to earn higher revenues and to change the pace of the market, key players are focusing on strategic collaborations and mergers and acquisitions. In addition, the development of effective and high-performance products are some of the other factors anticipated to encourage the growth of the market in the near future. However, the sluggish growth owing to the capital intensive nature is likely to restrict the growth of the market in the coming years. 

According to the Transparency Market Research, in 2015, the global market for sulfuric acid was worth US$69.3 bn and is anticipated to reach a value of US$85.4 bn by the end of 2023. The market is likely to register a 2.60% CAGR between 2015 and 2023.   
Asia Pacific to Remain Dominant in Global Sulfuric Acid Market 
Among the key geographical segments, in 2015, Asia Pacific accounted for around half of the global sulfuric acid market and is expected to remain in the topmost position throughout the forecast period. The presence of a large number of players in the chemical industry across China is one of the vital factors anticipated to fuel the growth of the sulfuric acid market in Asia Pacific. On the other hand, Europe and North America are expected to witness steady growth throughout the forecast period, owing to the expansion of the application base across diverse industries. 
On the basis of application, the global market for sulfuric acid has been classified into chemical synthesis, metal and mining, wastewater treatment, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and paper and pulp. Among these, the fertilizers segment is expected to lead the global sulfuric acid market and is likely to account for a key share throughout the forecast period. The growing focus of key players on research and development activities is estimated to expand the application base of sulfuric acid, thus fuelling the growth of the overall market in the forecast period. The chemicals segment is anticipated to witness robust growth in the next few years, owing to the rising demand for sulfuric acid in making chemicals, including sulfate salts, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, drugs, and explosives. 
Rising Demand for Fertilizers to Encourage Market Growth 
The global market for sulfuric acids is projected to witness progressive growth throughout the forecast period, states a TMR analyst. The expansion of the phosphate fertilizers market across the globe is expected to boost the consumption of sulfuric acid, thus encouraging the growth of the overall market. In addition, the rising pace of industrialization in China is expected to encourage the growth of the overall market in the next few years. 
Furthermore, the growing demand for sulfuric acid from the oil and gas industry is another factor likely to accelerate the growth of the global market in the near future. With the rising emphasis on new product development and innovations is estimated to generate promising opportunities for the key players operating in the sulfuric acid market across the globe. 
Fluctuating Raw Material Prices to Hamper Market Growth 
The global sulfuric acid market is expected to face several limitations, which are likely to restrict the market’s growth in the next few years. The volatility in the cost of raw materials and strict regulations imposed by governments regarding the use of sulfuric acid are some of the important factors anticipated to curb the growth of the market in the near future. Nevertheless, the recovery of sulfur is anticipated to offer promising opportunities throughout the forecast period. 
The global sulfuric acid market has been segmented as below: 
Global Sulfuric Acid Market, by Application 
  • Fertilizers
  • Chemical synthesis
  • Wastewater treatment
  • Metal & mining
  • Others (Including paper & pulp, pharmaceutical, etc.)
This information is based on the findings of a research report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR), titled “Sulfuric Acid Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2015 - 2023.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
