Market Definition
Concentrated nitric acid is inorganic compound with the molecular formula HNO3. It is highly corrosive mineral acid. The concentrated nitric acid is a colourless compound, but older samples tend to be yellow cast because of decomposition into nitrogen oxides. Most commercially available concentrated nitric acid has a concentration of 68% to 71%. When the nitric acid solution contains more than 86% of HNO3, it is referred to as fuming nitric acid.
Concentrated Nitric Acid Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing demand of concentrated nitric acid in multiple industry
The increasing demand for concentrated nitric acid from several end user industries such as agrochemicals and automotive are expected to drive the growth of concentrated nitric acid market. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), approx. 70% of nitric acid is used for the manufacture of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), which is widely used in the fertilizers. Moreover, growing demand of nylon 6-6 compound as a place of metals in the automotive industry are expected to drive the growth rate of concentrated nitric acid market.
- Increasing product launches
The surging product launches and other innovations by major market players further drive the growth rate of the concentrated nitric acid market. For instance, in September 2016, Weatherly Inc., a subsidiary of KBR Inc., launched dual pressure nitric acid technology which allowed large amount of production of nitric acid.
Furthermore, the rising number of population along with decreasing arable land, growing usages in synthetic rubbers, elastomers, polyurethane foams in automotive industry and rising application in chemical and aerospace industry are some of the major factors which are expected to increase the growth of the concentrated nitric acid market during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
Opportunities
- Growing demand of concentrated nitric acid in chemical industry
Concentrated nitric acid is used in the chemical industry to manufacture nitrobenzene, toluene diisocyanate, ammonium nitrate, adipic acid, trinitrotoluene, and nitroglycerine which are used across several end user industries such as automotive, electronics, agrochemicals, explosives, and others. The rising demand of concentrated nitric acid in chemical industry are expected to drive the growth rate of the market.
- Technological and scientific advancement
The scientific and technological advancement in mono pressure and dual-pressure technology for the production of nitric acid has designed to maximize the amount of steam exported and manage with the latest environmental regulations are expected to create immense opportunities for the growth of the concentrated nitric acid market in forthcoming period..
