Global Sulfur Market – Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2017-2022) – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The "Global
Sulfur Market – Growth, Trends and Forecasts (2017 – 2022)"
report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The increasing demand from the fertilizer manufacturing sector, coupled
with increasing usage of sulfur for vulcanization of rubber are the main
factors driving the growth of the global sulfur industry. Moreover,
owing to the fall of crude prices, refineries across the globe are
engaging in capacity expansion and other brownfield activities, leading
to higher demand for sulfur.

The demand for sulfur is also anticipated to be driven by the increasing
usage of elemental sulfur as a major ingredient in the vulcanization
process implemented to manufacture rubber. However, the enactment of
stringent environmental regulations restricting the usage of sulfur and
the high costs associated with its mining, are the key factors hindering
the sulfur market growth.

The global market is segmented based on end-user applications, including
agrochemicals, chemical processing, metal manufacturing, petroleum
refining, and others. In 2016, the agrochemical industry occupied the
largest share in terms of sulfur consumption. It is expected that the
healthy growth of the phosphate fertilizer market will drive the global
sulfur market over the forecast year.

Geographically, the market has been segmented into North America, South
America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific
represents the largest market in terms of consumption and production of
sulfur. In the region, China is expected to be one of the largest
producers of sulfur and sulfuric acid. Currently, the country imports
more than a third of the global sulfur trade.
