This report is the fifteenth edition of the study of the sulfuric acid and oleum market in the CIS/EAEU countries.
Market monitoring has been conducted since 2002.
The objective of the study is to analyze the Russian and EAEU sulfuric acid markets.
The subject of the study is sulfuric acid and oleum.
A distinctive feature of this study is its inclusion of oleum (production and supply volumes by manufacturer) in addition to sulfuric acid (monohydrate and waste sulfuric acid). The sources of the raw materials used are described in sufficient detail, as well as the destinations and volumes of their supply.
Furthermore, the review contains detailed information on the sulfuric acid market in all CIS/EAEU countries, whose contribution to the total output of this product in the post-Soviet space is quite significant. A brief description of the global market is also provided.
This work is a desk study. The following sources of information were used: data from the statistical committees of the EAEU countries (including Rosstat, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan); international databases of the UN (UNdata), World Bank, Eurostat; international and European trade data (UN Comtrade, Trade Map); the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (up to 2022); the Unified Information System in the Sphere of Procurement; railway transportation statistics; the SBIS database; foreign specialized companies; annual and quarterly reports of securities issuers; industry and regional press, conference materials, websites of enterprises-producers and consumers of the studied products; scientific and technical literature (elibrary, etc.), the FIPS patent database; the InfoMine database, etc.
Chronological scope of the study: 1994-2025; forecast - 2026-2030/35.
The study covers the following areas: the Russian Federation – a comprehensive, detailed market analysis; the Republic of Kazakhstan, Belarus, and other EAEU countries – a general retrospective market analysis; and the global market – a brief analysis.
The report consists of 8 parts and contains 119 pages, including 45 tables, 31 figures, and 4 appendices.
Chapter one provides a brief analysis of the global sulfuric acid market from 2018 to 2025.
Chapter two provides information on sulfuric acid production methods and the raw materials used in industry, and examines the supply routes and volumes of raw materials to sulfuric acid producers.
Chapter three analyzes H2SO4 production in the EAEU from 1994 to 2025. This section presents data on production volumes, traces the dynamics of production at enterprises in Russia and Kazakhstan, and examines the current status of the main sulfuric acid producers in the Russian Federation. The report presents data on the existing raw material base, production volumes, enterprise development plans, and data on the volumes and destinations of product deliveries in recent years.
Chapter 4 examines foreign trade operations with sulfuric acid in the Russian Federation and other EAEU countries, analyzing the volumes and destinations of export and import deliveries from 2015 to 2025.
Chapter 5 examines price trends for sulfuric acid in the domestic Russian market and in foreign markets of the Russian Federation and other EAEU countries.
Chapter 6 examines sulfuric acid consumption in 2021–2025. This section compiles a production balance in the Russian Federation and other EAEU countries and the structure of consumption in Russia, examines the main applications and primary consumers of sulfuric acid, and discusses some aspects of sulfuric acid transportation within the Russian Federation.
Chapter 7 describes methods for disposing of excess sulfuric acid.
Chapter 8 provides a forecast for sulfuric acid production and prices in the Russian Federation through 2030–2035.
The appendices provide addresses and contact information for the main sulfuric acid producers and consumers, as well as the in-plant consumption of sulfuric acid by manufacturers in 2024 and 2025.
Target audience for the study:
- sulfuric acid market participants – producers, consumers, and traders;
- potential investors.
This study is intended to serve as a reference guide for marketing departments and decision makers working in the sulfuric acid market.
