Global Insoluble Sulfur Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Grade Type(High Dispersion, Regular Grade), By Application(Tire Manufacturing, Industrial Application) - Industry Forecast 2023-2030

Global Insoluble Sulfur Market size was valued at USD 990.10 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 1029.51 billion in 2022 to USD 1406.78 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.98% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

It is projected that increasing product demand from rubber producers as a curing agent will continue to play a significant role in market expansion. Insoluble sulphur is a common ingredient in the manufacture of tyres because it works well as a rubber-curing agent. Since the majority of rubber applications are used to make tyres, this industry has a sizable demand for insoluble sulphur. In addition, there is a rising demand for new tyres as the number of vehicles on the road increases globally. These elements are probably going to speed up market expansion in the near future.

The market has seen significant changes as a result of innovations produced by large worldwide firms. For instance, in order to enhance the characteristics of radial tyres, Eastman Chemical Company introduced CrystexCure Pro, a non-blooming vulcanizing agent, in February 2018. A producer of specialised bitumen and naphthenic oil by the name of Nynas also debuted a line of products under the Nytex label. These goods are commercially available in a range of viscosities and work well with sulphur and harsh types of rubber. The product has a number of characteristics that make it practical for a range of applications, including the creation of insulating material for pipes, tyres, and wires and cables.

Driver

Insoluble sulphur is mostly used in the tyre business. There is an increasing demand for quick and low-maintenance tyre replacements as a result of the increase in on-road vehicle traffic worldwide. Tyre manufacturers worldwide are under intense pressure to develop more fuel-efficient tyres from authorities and consumers in order to gain a competitive edge in the fiercely competitive market. The rise in the usage of insoluble sulphur to turn raw rubber into complete rubber at high heat to boost the rubber's strength and flexibility is a prominent factor that is projected to drive the global market for insoluble sulphur during the forecast period.

Insoluble sulphur can improve the wear and ageing resistance of many kinds of rubber products. It is also the ideal vulcanizing agent for rubber. It is also frequently used to create rubber chemistry, which is used to make latex, rubber tyres, rubber pipes, rubber shoes, cables, and wires. Due to the surge in demand for insoluble rubber in a number of rubber sector applications, it is projected that the global market for insoluble sulphur would expand quickly.

Restraint

The insoluble sulphur industry is currently going through its worst period in 25 years as a result of the recent global pandemic and the temporary shutdown of the automotive and tyre manufacturing sectors. The pandemic hampered the ability of the tyre industry to manufacture tyres by upsetting the global supply chain, driving up chemical prices.

Market Trends

The high tolerance and durability of soluble sulphur are advantageous for all kinds of rubber products. As a vulcanizing agent for rubber, it is fantastic. Tyres, shoes, cables, rubber pipes, wires, insulating materials, latex, and other automotive rubber parts are only a few examples of products where rubber chemistry is used. The global market is anticipated to be driven by an increase in the supply of insoluble rubber for use in the rubber industry's numerous applications over the forecast period.
