SULFURIC ACID MARKET, VOLUME IN MILLION ECONOMIC OVERVIEW OF CHINA
METRIC TONS, CHINA, 2019-2050 • In the Asia-Pacific region, China is the largest economy in terms of GDP. In 2023, as per IMF forecasts, the country’s GDP
grew by 5% and is expected to decline to 4.5% in 2024.
CAGR (2024-2050): XX% RISING SULFUR PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION TO PROPEL THE MARKET DEMAND
• According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in 2022, China produced over 95 million metric tons of sulfuric acid
compared to 93.83 million metric tons in 2021.
35 • The sulfuric acid production output continued to rise in China, with a manufacturing capacity of 129 million tons in 2022,
32.81 registering a growth of 1.59% from the same period in the previous year. The distribution of sulfuric acid manufacturing
capacity in China is uneven. It is largely concentrated in Southwest China, East China, and Central China. These regions
30 account for over 70% of national production capacity.
In China, companies are planning to increase the manufacturing capacity of sulfuric acid to 21.08 million tons annually.
After the capacity increase in 2022-2024, the supply pattern of the sulfuric acid market is expected to undergo
25 24.06 significant changes in the country, including increasing exports, shrinking imports, and changes in goods flow.

15 • According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, the nitrogen, phosphate, and potash fertilizer production volume in
China accounted for 55.73 million tons in 2022, compared to 55.44 million tons in 2021 and 54.96 tons in 2020, registering a
consecutive two years of growth.
10 • In 2022, China imported approximately 8.94 million metric tons of chemical fertilizer compared to 9.09 million metric tons in
2021.
• China has the most significant agricultural output among all other countries. In China, about 10% of its land is suitable for
5 cultivation. The limited space for cultivation has led to severe food shortages in the past. China is planning to modernize and
upgrade agriculture in the next ten years. China’s agricultural development is expected to shift from increasing production
to improving quality.

2.4.2.1.1 CHINA
INCREASING AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTION AND SALES IN CHINA
• Sulfuric acid has an important role in the automotive industry, particularly in the manufacturing of lead-acid batteries used in vehicles. According to the China Association of
Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), China has the most significant automotive production base in the world, with a total vehicle production of 30,160,966 units in 2023, registering
an increase of 11.6% compared to 27,020,615 units produced last year. As per the International Trade Administration (ITA), domestic automotive production is expected to reach 35
million units by 2025.
• According to the CAAM, over 26.12 million passenger cars were sold in China in 2023, making it the largest market in the region. China is by far the largest passenger car market in
the world. Over half of the Asia-Pacific region’s and over a third of the world’s passenger car sales were attributed to China.
RISING PETROLEUM INDUSTRY INVESTMENTS IN THE COUNTRY FUELING MARKET GROWTH
• Sulfuric acid is used in the petroleum refining process to remove contaminants from gasoline and other refinery products. China’s national oil companies (NOCs) are expected to
splurge more than USD 120 billion on drilling and well services in the five-year period between 2021 and 2025. Due to the growing demand for oil and gas in China, the country is
expected to witness a high level of drilling activity in years to come. This is estimated to create a huge demand for sulfuric acid for the refining of crude oil.
• According to the National Energy Administration, China's combined crude oil and natural gas production in 2023 was forecasted to exceed 390 million tons of oil equivalent,
reaching a new historical high. Crude oil output for the previous year exceeded 208 million tons, indicating a growth of over 3 million tons compared to 2022. China's natural gas
production has steadily increased by 10 billion cubic meters annually for the past seven years, reaching 230 billion cubic meters in the preceding year.
