Global Sulfamic Acid Market to Observe Widespread Growth with Increasing Occurrence of Chronic Diseases

Synthetic organic reactions have recently acquired prominence as a versatile tool in the synthesis of agrochemicals, medicines, and their intermediates. Sulfamic acid, a very effective heterogeneous solid acid catalyst, catalyzes a variety of organic reactions. Tremendous efforts have been made by several researchers to use sulfamic acid as a green catalyst for functional group transformations, C−C bond formation reactions, preparations of N- and O− containing heterocyclic compounds, and various reactions including multicomponent reactions.

Sulfamic acid, also known as sulfamidic acid or amino sulfonic acid, is the most basic form of sulfamic acid, consisting of a sulphur atom covalently connected in single bonds with amino and hydroxyl groups, as well as a double bond with two oxygen atoms. Sulfamic acid is less corrosive to metals than other powerful acids such as hydrochloric acid. Properties such as low corrosiveness, high stability, high melting point, and high-water solubility, among others have extended applications of sulfamic acid in numerous industries. The global sulfamic acid market is expanding at a rapid pace and is growing swiftly owing to the usage of sulfamic acid as a soothing agent and its increasing need in the leather and plastic coloring industries.

Newest Insights in the Sulfamic Acid Market

The growing need for ready-to-eat food, packed, and dairy products and increasing expansions in packaging industries are some factors contributing to revenue growth of the global sulfamic acid market. As per a report by Research Dive, the global sulfamic acid market is expected to surpass a revenue of $1,372.80 million in the 2022-2031 timeframe. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to perceive foremost and leading growth in the coming years. This is because of the rising use of sulfamic acid in the production of therapeutic agents like antibiotics, anti-epileptic drugs, proteases, and a variety of inhibitory drugs in the region.

How are Market Players Retorting to the Rising Demand for Sulfamic Acid?

Market players are significantly investing in ground-breaking research and inventions to cater to the increasing demand for sulfamic acid in paper and pulp product manufacturing.
