Latest News- Sulfuric Acid Market in US: Elemental sulfur is expected to lead the Raw Material segment during 2025-2029

The Sulfuric Acid Market in US is being driven by Growing demand for sulfuric acid from diversified applications

The Sulfuric Acid Market in US is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 1194.5 million. In the US market, stringent environmental regulations are driving the growth of sulfuric acid production at smelters. Sulfuric acid can be efficiently recovered from the by-products generated during smelting processes, particularly in copper, lead, molybdenum, and zinc roaster smelters, which collectively accounted for approximately 16.12% of total sulfuric acid production in 2021. To mitigate sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions, advanced sulfuric acid plants are being installed in these manufacturing facilities. These plants not only limit SO2 emissions but also utilize smelter remains effectively. For instance, during copper matte smelting, a significant amount of SO2 is generated when oxygen-rich air is introduced. By implementing these efficient sulfuric acid production methods, the industry is able to reduce sulfur burning and adhere to environmental regulations.
