SULPHURIC ACID RESISTANT CHEMICAL PUMP MARKET OVERVIEW

The global sulphuric acid resistant chemical pump market stood at USD 0.33 billion in 2025 and is expected to rise to USD 0.34 billion in 2026, maintaining a strong growth trajectory to reach USD 0.44 billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 3% from 2025 to 2035.

Sulphuric acid is one of the important compounds manufactured by the chemical industry. Sulphuric acid is used to make numerous diverse composites as per requirement in every industry. Chemical pumps which are used for sulphuric acid uses in which it transfers the chemical from container to another container. Sulphuric acid is widely used in various industries, including chemical manufacturing, mining, wastewater treatment and more. Sulphuric acid transfer pumps are considered to handle the corrosive nature of sulphuric acid, ensuring reliable performance and efficient transfer. They are usually made from materials that are resistant to corrosion. They are designed to pump sulphuric acid at high pressure and are capable to handle an extensive range of temperatures and pressures, making them suitable for many industrial presentations. The chief significance of these pumps is their capability to handle high temperature and compression conditions. Chemical pumps are used in the petrochemical, food processing and chemical industries as well as in external applications of processing plant and in high-temperature heating systems. Upsurge in investments by key market players for the R&D undertakings and enlargement of their production abilities and product portfolios are projected to upsurge the growth. Growth is mostly operated by demand for agriculture, chemical and automotive manufacturing, metal processing and petroleum refining. Sulphuric acid is extensively used in the production of fertilizers, pesticides, metals, detergents, gasoline, paints, paper, plastics and batteries. Sulphuric acid production is an energy-consuming process. Sulphuric acid resistant chemical pump has a series of excellent properties such as high and low temperature resistance, anti-aging, non-toxic decomposition and others.
