Market Overview:
The global granular sulfur market is estimated to be valued at US$ XX Mn in 2018 and is projected to register a CAGR of X.X% over the forecast period (2018-2030), reaching a value of US$XX Mn by 2030. The market is segmented on the basis of type, application and region. On the basis of type, food grade granular sulfur held a dominant share in the global market in 2017. However, industrial grade granular sulfur is projected to register highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to its increasing demand from agrochemicals, chemical & petroleum refining and rubber & plastics industries. On the basis of application, agrochemicals accounted for majority share in 2017 and it is expected to maintain its dominance during forecast period as well. Chemical & petroleum refining industry registered second largest share in terms of revenue contribution followed by rubber & plastics industry during 2017. Mining & metallurgy industry are anticipated witness highest growth rate over next decade owing growing demand from countries such as China and India . Paper pulp sector constitutes significant shares across all regions however it would lose some market shares by 2030 end due substitution effects with other applications such as bioplastics production which are environment friendly products .
Product Definition:
Granular sulfur is a type of sulfur that is used as a fertilizer. It is made up of small, granular particles that can be easily dispersed in soil. Granular sulfur helps to improve the soil's texture and fertility by providing essential nutrients to plants. It also helps to suppress plant diseases and pests.
Food Grade:
Food grade sulfur is a product that can be used as an anti-caking agent in granular sulfur. It helps to prevent the formation of crystals and improve the flow properties of the product. Food grade sulfur is also known as culinary or kitchen salt, it has high purity level which can be used for seasoning food products.
The global granular sulfur market size was valued at USD 536 million in 2016.
Industrial Grade:
Industrial grade sulfur is produced by the thermal cracking of high purity virgin sulfur at temperatures greater than 400°C. It has a particle size less than 0.1 microns and is commercially available in both solid (pellet) and liquid forms.
Application Insights:
The global demand for sulfur is anticipated to witness a rise on account of its increasing use in the manufacturing of various agrochemicals. Sulfur plays an important role in the formulation of several agrochemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides. It acts as a catalyst and improves the efficiency, reaction rate, and dispersion of active ingredients during chemical reactions.
Agrochemicals emerged as one of the largest application segments with respect to sulfur demand owing to high product usage rates across major regions globally.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of global granular sulfur market in 2016. The region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization, which are likely to propel product demand from various end-use industries including chemical & petrochemical, rubber & plastics, mining and metallurgy.
China was estimated as the largest consumer of GS in Asia Pacific with a volume consumption of 631 kilo tons in 2016. China’s rapid economic development coupled with increasing per capita income has resulted into increased domestic production as well as importation ofGSbased products from other countries such as U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from agriculture sector for sulfur as a fertilizer
- Growing awareness about the benefits of sulfur in crop production
- Rising demand for biofuels, which requires higher levels of sulfur in feedstocks
- Stringent environmental regulations to reduce emissions of SOx and NOx gases from industrial and power plants
- Technological advancements that help improve the efficiency of sulfur utilization
