Elemental sulfur, a naturally occurring chemical element, holds diverse industrial significance. It is used in the production of sulfuric acid, a fundamental industrial chemical. Additionally, elemental sulfur plays a role in agriculture, as a soil amendment to enhance plant growth and as a component in fungicides. It’s also employed in the manufacture of rubber, detergents, and explosives. This versatile element contributes to various sectors, underlining its importance in modern industries.
The elemental sulfur market size is predicted to be worth US$ 6,667 million in 2023 and rise to US$ 9,135.4 million by 2033. Demand was initially expanding at a market CAGR of 2.9% between 2018 and 2022.
The agricultural sector is anticipated to fuel the market’s expansion throughout the projected period due to its strong growth rate and rising investments and production. A significant problem connected with sulfur recovery is the release of undesirable hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide emissions, restraining the market’s expansion over the projection period.
Production must maintain pace with consumption’s ongoing expansion. The expanding world population is likely to increase future demand for elementary sulfur. Eventually, food prices must be high enough to encourage spending and production growth. The generation of H2SO4, primarily used to create fertilizer, is one of the many industrial uses for elemental sulfur.
The Middle East and the mainland now have new facilities for the elemental sulfur process. Due to China’s growing coal chemical industry and the strict environmental regulations it has spawned, multiple recovery plants have been built, increasing production by 8%.
