Why Is Demand Increasing
Fertilizer Demand: More than 80% of global sulphur consumption is linked to sulfuric-acid production, making phosphate fertilizer production a major source of downstream demand.
Refining and Gas Processing: Sulphur is predominantly recovered as a by-product of oil refining and sour natural-gas processing, with refinery and gas-project expansion influencing global supply.
Metallurgical Growth: Copper, nickel, and other mineral-processing projects are increasing sulfuric-acid requirements, creating additional demand for sulphur feedstock.

Industry Watch: Gulf Supply Expansion Reshapes Global Sulphur Trade
New refinery and sour-gas projects in the Middle East are increasing recovered sulphur volumes and reinforcing the Gulf region's position as a major export hub. Storage, forming, terminal infrastructure, and shipping capacity are becoming increasingly important as producers serve fertilizer and industrial customers across Asia.
