The elemental sulfur industry is anticipated to experience significant growth, with a projected value of US$ 6,667 million in 2023, expected to surge to US$ 9,135.4 million by 2033. This robust expansion follows a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9% in demand from 2018 to 2022, reflecting the increasing importance of elemental sulfur in various industries and applications.
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%.
