Covina, March 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sulfur is found naturally as an element in pure state and as sulfate or sulfide minerals. Sulfur crystals are easily differentiated by mineral collectors for their unique and bright colored polyhedron shapes. Earlier sulfur was extracted majorly from salt domes where it occurs in pure form but now this method has been obsolete owing to the new technologies. Today, majority of Sulfur is developed as a byproduct from sulfur containing contaminants from petroleum and natural gas. Commercial use of sulfur is carried out in fertilizers, due to high requirements in plants and in the manufacturing of Sulfuric acid, an important chemical used in the industry. Various other use of elemental sulfur is found in fungicides and insecticides.

Analyst View of Sulfur Market:
The increasing demand for sulfur, particularly from the agricultural and chemical sectors, was seen as a key driver of market growth. The use of sulfur as a key component in fertilizer production, along with its applications in oil and gas refining, was expected to continue driving demand.
Supply concerns, including reduced production in key sulfur-producing countries such as Canada, Russia, and Kazakhstan, were also seen as supporting factors for higher sulfur prices. Transportation disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic also affected supply, leading to tightness in some regions.
Overall, analysts expected sulfur prices to remain volatile in the short term, but with a positive outlook in the medium to long term due to increasing demand and supply constraints. However, it is important to note that the market is subject to a range of factors that can affect price movements, and these views may have changed since my knowledge cutoff date.
