简介目录

概述

2023年，全球硫磺锭剂市场规模达15亿美元，预计到2031年将达到19亿美元，2024-2031年预测期间复合年增长率为3.2%。

预计在预测期内，工业加工将占全球硫锭需求的很大一部分。由于航空航太和汽车工业的快速扩张，锂、钴、铜和镍的提取和精炼预计将创下多年来的新高。

锂化学电池的发展也将为全球市场带来新的成长机会。科学家正在研究使用硫阴极来提高锂硫电池的能量密度和更持久的性能的可能性。这种电池可能成为下一代电动车的主流动力来源。

动力学

全球轮胎产量的成长

汽车产业目前正快速转向大规模采用电动车。它为轮胎製造商带来了重大商机，因为电动车的高扭矩和高速度意味着轮胎磨损更快，从而缩短更换週期。许多轮胎製造商推出了新的电动车专用轮胎系列，具有特殊的胎面花纹和更厚的材料。

许多产业分析师预测2024年产量将达2,270万吨，较上年成长3.4%。製造商特别注重提高印度和中国等快速成长市场的产能。由于许多汽车製造商预计到 2035 年将全面转向电动车，全球轮胎生产将在预测期内增加对硫磺锭剂的需求。

农业生产力的提高

联合国最新资料显示，到2022 年12 月左右，全球人口将达到80 亿。此外，如果目前的预测可信，到2050 年，全球总人口预计将达到97 亿左右。多边组织带来压力。

现代农业实践的出现极大地提高了作物产量和生产力。联合国粮食及农业组织 (FAO) 进行的一项长期研究发现，2000 年至 2022 年的过去 20 年间，主要粮食作物的产量增加了 52%。硫磺锭剂主要用作农业肥料。随着未来提高农业生产力的力度加大，未来几年对硫磺锭剂的需求将会上升。

人们对硫污染的担忧日益加深

使用硫锭剂和其他化合物的一个主要问题是空气污染率迅速上升。当农民在使用硫肥后燃烧农作物饲料时，二氧化硫 (SO2) 等化合物会在硫化合物燃烧时释放到空气中。 SO2 污染也会导致酸雨，严重影响生物。美国肺臟协会指出，长期接触二氧化硫会导致呼吸急促、气喘和肺功能丧失等健康症状。

各国政府正大力限制工业硫排放。此外，化学品製造商正在开发一系列环保添加剂，作为橡胶工业加工中硫磺的替代品。随着政府法规逐步淘汰各种硫化合物，从长远来看，全球市场可能会面临潜在的成长挑战。

The evolution of lithium chemistry batteries will also present new growth opportunities for the global market. Scientists are investigating the possible usage of sulphur cathodes for improved energy density and longer-lasting performance in lithium-sulphur batteries. Such batteries could become the mainstream power source for future generation of electric vehicles.

Dynamics

Growth of Global Tyre Production

The automotive industry is currently witnessing a rapid shift towards the mass adoption of electric vehicles. It has opened a major business opportunity for tyre manufacturers, since the high torque and speed of electric vehicles means faster wearing of tyres leading to shorter replacement cycles. Many tyre manufacturers have launched new lines of EV-exclusive tyres with special tread patterns and thicker materials.

Many industry analysts have forecasted annual production of 22.7 million tons in 2024, representing an increase of 3.4% from the previous year. Manufacturers are particularly focused on raising production capacity in rapidly growing markets like India and China. With many carmakers expected to fully shift towards electric vehicles by 2035, global tyre production will augment demand for sulphur pastilles during the forecast period.

Improvements in Agricultural Productivity

Recent UN data revealed that the global population reached 8 billion around December 2022. Furthermore, if current projections are to be believed, the total global population is expected to reach around 9.7 billion in 2050. A rising global population is putting pressure on governments and multilateral organizations to increase agricultural producitivity and ensure food security for the future.

The advent of modern agricultural practices have made considerable improvements to crop yields and productivity. A long-term study undertaken by UN's food and agricultural organization (FAO), has found that yields of primary food crops has increased by 52% over the past two decades spanning from 2000-2022. Sulphur pastilles are mainly used as agricultural fertilizers. As efforts to improve agricultural productivity will intensify in the future, the demand for sulphur pastilles will rise over the coming years.

Growing Concerns About Sulfur Pollution

A major concern about the usage of sulphur pastilles and other compounds is the rapidly rising rates of air pollution. Compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2), are released into the air on the burning of sulfur compounds, which occurs when farmers burn crop fodder after using sulphur fertilizers. SO2 pollution also leads to acid rain, which severely impacts living beings. The American Lung Association states that exposure to SO2 can cause health symptoms like shortness of breath, asthma and loss of lung function after chronic exposure.

Governments are clamping down hard on industrial sulphur emissions. Furthermore, chemical manufacturers are developing a range of eco-friendly additives as a substitute to sulphur in the industrial processing of rubber. As government regulations lead to phase out of various sulphur compounds, the global market could witness potential growth challenges over the long term.

Segment Analysis

The global sulphur pastilles market is segmented based on type, process, application and region.

90% Sulphur is Expected to Have the Highest Growth Rate During the Forecast Period

Sulphur 90% is mainly being utilized to restore pH balance in alkaline soils, since slightly acidic conditions are more conducive for crop growth. Another factor is to correct soil balance which is disrupted due to excessive usage of pesticides. When crop demand exceeds natural sulphur levels in the soil, the resultant deficits can be remedied using sulphur 90% pastilles.

Rubber processing is another major application for sulphur 90%, especially for vulcanizing rubber in tyre production. As electric vehicle production rises, it is highly likely that rubber processing will overtake agriculture to garner the highest market share during the forecast period.

Geographical Penetration

The Growth of the Automotive Industry Will Propel Market Growth in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific will garner roughly a third of the global market share. The current ongoing shift towards electric vehicles will continue to generate demand for sulphur pastilles during the forecast period. China has emerged as the largest global automotive exporter, overtaking Japan in 2023, with exports totaling nearly US$ 208 billion. With even consumer electronics companies like Xiaomi producing their own electric vehicles, it has created a rapid surge in demand for EV components and materials.

India is yet another major country in Asia-Pacific that is witnessing rapid growth of its domestic automotive industry. In 2023, India also displaced Japan to become the third largest automotive market in the world. As tyre and rubber manufacturers drive to localize production, it will continue to grow the demand for sulphur pastilles over the long term.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic marked a challenging period for the global market. The automotive industry experienced major production disruptions, which in turn reduced demand from tyre manufacturers. Furthermore, as countries increased the severity of their pandemic lockdowns, it led to labor shortages that significantly halted sulphur mining and processing.

The global market underwent a gradual recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic as major end-user industries returned to normalcy. However, some regions had weaker recovery due to the lingering effects of supply chain disruptions. At least over the short term, the recovery of the global market is likely to be challenging.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

One of the major consequences of the war in Ukraine was the disruption in the production and sales of Russian and Ukrainian fertilizer companies. The industrial assets of most Ukrainian fertilizer producers were destroyed by the war fighting. For Ukraine's agricultural sector, demand can only be fulfilled by imports from western European countries.

The economic sanctions on Russia for the war, has made it difficult to acquire sulphur pastilles as it is unable to conduct U.S. dollar transactions. Therefore, the Russian government has instituted an alternative barter arrangement, trading crude oil and other natural resources for for industrial and consumer goods.
