Global Sulfur Market Trends

Growing demand from the production of fertilizer

Due to its affordability, sulfur is often used in the creation of fertilizers like calcium sulphate, which is well known for its ability to stop soil erosion and nutrient runoff. Current expansion in the global sulfur market is mostly being driven by the growing use of sulfur as a chemical in the agriculture sector. The essential elements of a well-fertilized crop are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). However, crops require sulfur (S) in order to produce high yields and more nutrient-dense diets. Sulfur is an active ingredient in the nitrogen metabolism in plants and performs a variety of tasks, including the synthesis of proteins, the production of chlorophyll, and the synthesis of oils, especially in oil crops.
