About Sulfuric Acid Market

Sulfuric acid is a colorless and odorless mineral acid. It is a syrupy liquid that is soluble in water. It is a highly corrosive chemical due to its strong acidic nature. Sulfuric acid is also hygroscopic, thus readily absorbs water vapor from the air. It is used across industries in applications such as cleaning of drains as an electrolyte in lead-acid batteries and as a constituent in cleaning agents. It is also used in mineral processing, fertilizer manufacturing, oil refining, and wastewater processing. The growth of the global sulfuric acid category is directly proportional to the growth of the fertilizer industry, as sulfuric acid is widely used in the manufacturing of fertilizers.
