Overview
Sulphur production is almost entirely a by-product of oil and gas production. Until recently, interest in the product has focused on understanding how the availability of sulphur accords with demand, especially in key fertilizer and metal processing markets. With the expected transition to a low carbon economy, sulphur production from oil and gas processing is set to fall, producing very different dynamics in the mid-21st century compared with the previous century.
S&P Global Energy coverage provides comprehensive and reliable information on the global sulphur and sulphuric acid markets. Our team of expert analysts delivers industry benchmark price assessments, real-time data, market trends, and in-depth analysis to help you navigate the complexities of the two products which span fertilizer, metal processing and industrial markets, with sulphuric acid being the world’s most widely used inorganic chemical.
Our sulphur-in-all-forms analysis includes brimstone, pyrites and smelter acid analysis for production and supply, demand, trade, cost, and prices. Our sulphuric acid analysis captures 15 major end-use sectors through the agriculture, metal, and chemical industries.
