As per Future Market Insights (FMI), the global elemental sulphur market will total US$ 6.27 Bn in 2021. The demand for elemental sulphur is expected to grow by 3% CAGR between 2021 and 2031. The report projects the total volume sold in the market to total 106 Mn Tons by 2031.

Demand for elemental sulphur slumped to an extent due to the onset of the COVID-19. Suspension of production activities and disruptions in supply chains further dampened sales prospects. However, FMI has projected steady recovery of the market, with sales forecast to grow year-over-year by 3.30% between 2020 and 2021.

Growing demand for elemental sulphur in the agrochemicals industry is expected to bode well for the market. Sulphur is an essential nutritive element that improves plant growth and overall crop yield. A majority of crop plants go through sulphur deficiency. Sulphur is utilized in phosphate-based fertilizers to maintain a consistent supply of nutrients in crops. This will act as a chief growth driver for the elemental sulphur market.

Besides this, increasing adoption of sulphur for rubber vulcanization in the automotive and electronic sectors is expected to spur demand for elemental sulphur. Vulcanized rubber is used in the production of tires, cables, hoses, and other rubber components in consumer goods.

Ongoing expansions of the automotive and consumer goods sectors is expected to propel the demand for vulcanized rubber, which in turn will augment growth of the elemental sulphur market.

“Favorable government policies and subsidies to support the expansion of the mining industry in various countries are expected to create conducive environment for elemental sulphur market growth. In addition to this, growing adoption of sulphuric acid for wastewater treatment will continue driving sales of elemental sulphur over the forecast period,” says an FMI analyst.
