Concentrated Nitric Acid - Market Segmentations:
By End-User (Automotive, Electronics, Agrochemicals, Explosives), By Product (Fuming, Strong), Type (Adipic Acid, Nitrobenzene, Ammonium Nitrate, Toluene Diisocyanate), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Central & South America, Middle East & Africa), End-use Landscape, Vendor Landscape, and Competitive Landscape
Concentrated Nitric Acid - Market Insights:
Concentrated nitric acid was valued at USD 20 billion in 2016, it is used in the production of explosives pesticides, nitrogen fertilizers, synthetic rubbers, polyurethane foams, and elastomers. Concentrated nitric acid works as an oxidizer in rocket propellants and dye intermediates.
The unstable nature of several compounds having nitric acid-base allows their usage in explosives, while pigments, paints & dyes utilize stable compounds of nitric acid.
The growing demand for polyurethane foams in the automotive, building & construction, and furniture industries is expected to boost the demand for concentrated nitric acid in the forecast period.
Concentrated Nitric Acid - Product Insights:
The concentrated nitric acid market is segmented into strong and fuming acid (concentration of above 86%). Strong nitric acid has 50-85% concentration and estimated to be the fastest growing type of during the forecast period.
It is used in producing ammonium nitrate, adipic, nitro chlorobenzene, nitrobenzene and toluene diisocyanate (TDI). It increases the rate of burning of the materials they come in contact with; this property is used in secondary explosives.
Concentrated Nitric Acid - Application Insights:
The nitric acid market is primarily being driven by the fertilizer market. It is used to produce calcium ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which is used in fertilizers. The expansion of the agrochemical industry is expected to foster the growth of the ammonium nitrate market in the forecast period.
Nitrate can further be used in manufacturing urea ammonium nitrate (UNA) which is used in making explosives and fertilizer solution. The increasing demand in explosives market for mining and construction has boosted the growth of this industry. It can further be used in the production of adipic acid which is used in the production of nylon 6 & 66 that is used in producing tires, automotives, and textiles.
Concentrated Nitric Acid - End Use Insights:
Agrochemicals industry is estimated to remain the largest end user as it uses ammonium nitrate to produce fertilizers. The demand for ammonium nitrate from the developing countries such as Japan, India, China, and Brazil will help them in the growth of this market.
Automotive, textile and tyres industry uses nylon 6,66 for their manufacturing, which is produced from adipic acid. The explosive and construction market which use UNA is expecting to grow owing to the expansion of the mining industry.
Concentrated Nitric Acid - Regional Insights:
Asia Pacific nitric acid market is estimated to be the fastest-growing in the forecast period, followed by Europe and North America. The expansion of the industry can be credited to the presence of concentrated nitric acid companies such as Shandong Fengyuan Chemical Stock Co. Ltd. (China), Hanwha Corporation (South Korea), and Ube Industries (Japan) among others, the market in China is estimated to grow the fastest over the forecast period.
Europe is the leading consumer of nitric acid owing to its demand for explosives and fertilizer. Largest demand was observed in Eastern and Western European, in the next few years. In the forecast period, Asia Pacific is expected to become the second largest consumer of nitric acid.
