Updated on : June 18, 2024
Solid Sulphur Market
The solid sulphur market was valued at USD 3.2 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2025, growing at 3.0% cagr from 2020 to 2025. The market is driven majorly by its huge consumption in fertilizer, chemical processing, and metal manufacturing.
Solid Sulphur Market Dynamics
Fertilizer segment is largest and fastest-growing application of solid sulphur
The fertilizer segment is the largest and the fastest-growing application of solid sulphur. Sulphur is a high purity chemical used in the making of fertilizers, vulcanization of rubber, and chemical processing.
Growth in demand for solid sulphur majorly driven by huge consumption in agriculture sector.
The solid sulphur market size is estimated to be USD 3,268.7 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 3,789.3 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 3.0 %. The high growth witnessed in the fertilizers market in the developing economies of APAC is a key factor driving the solid sulphur market. APAC is the fastest-growing market for fertilizer. With the boost in the economy, the APAC market is witnessing high growth with respect to chemicals and materials, thus fueling the solid sulphur market. However, the high cost of extraction through mining is a restrain.
APAC is largest and fastest-growing market for solid sulphur
APAC is projected to register the fastest growth during the forecast period. China is expected to be one of the major markets for solid sulphur. The growing demand from fertilizers and chemical processing applications is expected to drive the market in China during the forecast period.
Solid Sulphur Market Players
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (UAE), Marathon Petroleum Corporation (US), Qatar Petroleum (Qatar), Gazprom (Russia), Saudi Aramco (Saudi Arabia), and Chemtrade Logistics (Canada) are the key players operating in the solid sulphur market.
These companies have adopted several growth strategies to strengthen their position in the market. Expansion and merger & acquisition are the key growth strategies adopted by these leading players to enhance their product offering and regional presence and meet the growing demand for solid sulphur in emerging economies.

Recent Developments
- In March 2020, ADNOC (Abu Dhabi) invested to increase its oil production capacity from 3 to 4 million barrels of oil per day by April 2020 to respond to the current market condition. This expansion will increase the sulphur production from oil refineries and serve the growing demand for sulphur in the Middle East & Africa, APAC, and Europe.
- In February 2020, ADNOC invested USD 1.65 billion in the construction of the Dalma Gas Development project in Dalma (Abu Dhabi), which will have a production capacity of 340 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day. This increase in natural gas production will increase the production of sulphur, which will serve the domestic demand of sulphur.
- In April 2019, Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) made a definitive purchase agreement with NOCO Incorporated (New York, US) to acquire 33 express NOCO retail stores and 900,000 barrels capacity light weight and asphalt terminal.
- In November 2019, QP will combine SEEF Limited’s (Doha, Qatar) operations with its refining operations by the end of 2020. With this acquisition, QP aims to strengthen its position in the downstream operations in the oil & gas industry in the Middle East & Africa region.
