Perchloric Acid Market

Perchloric Acid Market: Introduction

Perchloric acid is a strong non-oxidizing agent under the purity level of 72% and behaves opposite to the mentioned property above 72% purity. Extensive usability, ease of handling with decreasing concentrations, etc., to make perchloric acid capture a major market share around 80%. But with the advent of dispersion of perchloric acid (>72%) over silica tends to make perchloric acid more stable, which makes perchloric acid with purity above 72% stable and opens the door for extensive application and hence throttles the demand of perchloric acid.

The perchloric acid market is expected to grow at single-digit CAGR in the 2020-2030 forecast period due to its increasing use in aerospace, defense, and automobile sectors. Ammonium perchlorate is extensively used in airbags and recently in 2019, stringent road safety norms have come into play in India of at least driver-side airbag to be installed in the car, thus expected to substantially increase the demand of perchloric acid. With the increase in the demand for ammonium perchlorate in the manufacturing rocket fuels, the demand for perchloric acid has also witnessed a significant increment.

Space expeditions in collaboration of various nations to increasing the demand for perchloric acid. The major portion of the demand share of perchloric acid is captured by rocket fuels of around 48%. In 2018, scientists at the University of Illinois developed an efficient way of fuel production utilizing perchloric acid as a catalyst to produce hydrogen, which can be used as fuel in automobiles and space vehicles, thus substantially expanding the demand of perchloric acid. Perchloric acid is used in the purification of crystals to grow at nominal growth. With the abrupt changes in technology, increasing utilization of catalyst for the synthesis of chemicals is stirring the demand of perchloric acid. Increasing use of perchloric acid in the pharmaceuticals sector to intensify the perchloric acid market and expected to grow at 3% CAGR in the forecast period due to the increase in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) production.

Consistent Demand from End Use Industries to Foster Perchloric Acid Market

Ammonium perchlorate is extensively used in the aerospace industry for rocket launches, throttling the ammonium perchlorate demand. According to the Russian Rocket and Space industry around 112 space launches took place in 2018 and China launched around 39 space vehicles in 2019 which is around 2 times the vehicles launched in 2017. Increasing production battery production and air bags incorporated vehicles to amplify the application of perchloric acid in the automobile sector. In 2019, Honda has developed a new design of airbag, thus increasing the utilization of ammonium perchlorate and in turn magnifying the perchloric acid demand. Such airbag revolution is expected to fortify the ammonium perchlorate application in the automobile industry.
