The global solid sulphur market is expected to grow from USD 3.11 billion in 2019 to USD 3.93 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 3.0% during the forecast period 2020-2027. 

Sulphur or sulfur is an element which comes at the 16th place in the periodic table and is represented by the symbol S. Sulphur exists as yellow coloured cyclic octatomic molecules in the crystalline state under normal conditions at room temperature. Since sulphur is not a metal, it conducts electricity and heat poorly. It is one of the most commonly used chemicals in the world.

This study delivers a comprehensive analysis of manufacturing process, application and regions. The research includes growth drivers as well as challenges prevalent in the global solid sulphur market along with the impact they will have on the overall demand during the forecasted period. Additionally, the study also includes various opportunities & threats that are present in the solid sulphur market. The manufacturing process segment comprises of frasch process and claus process. The claus process segment is expected to dominate the market with the majority of the global market share and witness the highest CAGR among other segments. This is because the claus process is the most common method of synthesis of solid sulphur. Oil & natural gas are a good source of sulphur; most refiners use the Claus method for extraction. Based on application, the market has been segmented into metal manufacturing, fertilizer, rubber processing, chemical processing, and others. The fertilizer segment is forecasted to lead the market over the projected period with the highest growth rate as well as the largest market share. Sulphur is a remarkably pure chemical with minimal quantities of impurities since contaminants can reduce the effectiveness and safety of the product. Sulphur is used in the manufacturing of fertilizers, chemical processing and rubber vulcanization. 

The market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America. With the growing demand for sulphuric acid, the Asia-Pacific region stands as a promising market for solid sulphur. The APAC region is expected to grow at the highest CAGR as well as hold the largest market share over the forecast period. China is a key market and is one of the largest producers of sulphur globally. There is a high demand for sulphur in China for applications in chemical processing and fertilization. 

Some of the notable players in the solid sulphur market are Gazprom, Saudi Aramco, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Qatar Petroleum, Marathon Petroleum Corporation, Repsol, Motiva Enterprises LLC, Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund, Enersul Limited Partnership, and Valero Energy Corporation, among others. The key players are now concentrating on implementing strategies such as adopting new technology, product innovations, mergers & acquisitions, joint venture, alliances, and partnerships to improve their market position in the global solid sulphur industry. 

For instance, the Marathon Petroleum Corporation made a final purchasing deal with the NOCO Energy Corporation in April 2019 to buy 33 express NOCO retail stores and 900,000 barrels of lightweight capacity and asphalt terminal.

This study predicts revenue growth at global, national, and country levels from 2020 to 2027. Fior Markets has segmented the market based on below-mentioned segments:

Our analyst team adopts a robust research technique in order to deduce the market size and its estimates:
  • Examining demographic along with psychographic segmentation for market evaluation
  • Analyzing the macro and micro-economic indicators for each demography
  • Evaluating the current industry trends popular in the market.

Data Synthesis: This stage includes the evaluation and assessment of all the data acquired from the primary and secondary research. It likewise includes in evaluating the information for any disparity watched while information gathering identified with the market. The data & information is gathered with consideration to the heterogeneity of sources. Scientific and statistical methods are implemented for synthesizing dissimilar information sets and provide the relevant data which is fundamental for formulating strategies. Our organization has broad involvement with information amalgamation where the information goes through different stages:

  • Information Screening: Information screening is the way toward examining information/data gathered from the sources for errors/mistakes and amending it before data integration process. The screening includes in looking at raw information, identifying and distinguishing mistakes and managing missing information. The reason for the information screening is to ensure information is effectively entered or not. Our organization utilizes objective and precise information screening grades through repetitive quality checks.
  • Data Integration: The data integration method involves with the incorporation of numerous information streams. The data streams is important so as to deliver investigate examines that give overall market scenario to the investors. These information streams originate from different research contemplates and our in house database. After the screening of the information, our analysts conduct efficient integration of the data streams, optimizing connections between integrated surveys and syndicated data sources. There are two research approaches that we follow so as to coordinate our information; top down methodology and bottom up methodology. 
    • Top-down analysis generally refers to using broad factors as a basis for decision making. The top-down approach helps in identifying the overall market scenario along with the external and internal factors effecting the market growth.
    • The bottom-up approach takes a completely different approach. Generally, the bottom-up approach focuses its analysis on micro attributes and specific characteristics of the domain specific market.

Market Formulation & Deduction: The last stage includes assigning the data & information in a suitable way in order to derive market size. Analyst reviews and domain based opinions based on holistic approach of market estimation combined with industry investigation additionally features a crucial role in this stage.

This stage includes with the finalization of the market size and numbers that we have gathered from primary and secondary research. With the data & information addition, we ensure that there is no gap in the market information. Market trend analysis is finished by our analysts by utilizing data extrapolation procedures, which give the most ideal figures to the market.

Data Validation: Validation is the most crucial step in the process. Validation & re-validation through scientifically designed technique and process that helps us finalize data-points to be used for final calculations. This stage also involves with the data triangulation process. Data triangulation generally implicates the cross validation and matching the data which has been collected from primary and secondary research methods.
