Phosphoric acid often called as ortho-phosphoric acid is a weak, inorganic acid with formula H3PO4. The purest form of this acid is in colourless solid form. The acid has various industrial applications as a catalyst in commercial production processes like propene oligomerization, cracking of petroleum and crude oil.
Increasing demand for petroleum and natural gas sector shall foster the market growth. Most of the industrial production units use petroleum as fuel. Additionally, the use of phosphoric acid in the chemical reactions as catalysts is likely to drive the market. For instance, phosphoric acid is used for hydration of the ethane to make ethanol. Such commercially significant reactions are carried out using phosphoric acid catalyst.
However, exposure of phosphoric acid to skin and eyes can cause severe burns and permanent blindness. These negative health effect of the acid catalyst is likely to limit the market growth.
Key Market Driver -
Increasing demand from petrochemical sector.
Key Market Restraint -
Negative health effects on skin exposure.
