Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers Market: By Type, By Product, By End User and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Type (Non-Regenerative Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers and Regenerative H2S  Scavengers), By Product (Metal-based Scavengers, Oil-Soluble Scavengers, Water-soluble Scavengers and Others), By End User (Water Treatment, Oil & Gas, Waste Management and Others) and Region Forecast 2019-2030

Hydrogen Sulfide Scavengers Market size was valued at US$ 519.2 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.2% from 2024-2030. It is a colorless gas, with an offensive odor and a sweetish taste. It is soluble in water, alcohol, oils, and many other solvents. It has a specific gravity of 1.1895 concerning air. It is considered a weak acid, it is toxic to humans and corrosive to metals. During oil and gas operations, hydrogen sulfide can be found as a component of formation gases, dissolved in water, hydrocarbons, or even liquid sulfur. The hydrogen sulfide content of fluids in the permeable formations of oil wells has an important impact on the economic value of the produced hydrocarbons and production operations. Hence, the use of hydrogen sulfide scavengers is particularly high in the oil & gas industry, in upstream and downstream applications is fueling the market growth.

Human health effects of exposure to hydrogen sulfide, an irritant and an asphyxiant, depend on the concentration of the gas and the length of exposure. A maximum of eight hours of exposure to concentrations greater than 100 ppm hydrogen sulfide scavengers will cause hemorrhage and death.13 Concentrations above 600 ppm can be fatal in three to five minutes. Highly stressed, high-strength steel can fail in a matter of minutes in the presence of 50 ppm hydrogen sulfide scavengers. At high pressure, as little as 0.1 ppm hydrogen sulfide scavengers can greatly reduce the time to failure of highly stressed, high-strength steel. Hence, health and safety concerns are restricting the market growth. The global market is surging owing to frequent acquisitions and launchings by the market players. The global market expanding at significant CAGR over 2019 to 2025 owing to rising demand for hydrogen sulfide scavengers from oil & gas industry Based on product, metal-based scavengers segment accounted for larger market revenue share in 2018 and is projected to gain market revenue share over forecast period. Players focusing on innovation of newer products and collaboration strategies to retain market position in the global market.
