Pent-up downstream demand from detergents and
fungicides prompted recovery in the consumption
of Sulphur in India and China. Although demand
was still bearish in Q3 of 2020, but it remained
way above the groundbreaking lows witnessed in
the previous quarter. As confirmed by traders,
Sulphur prices of remained in the range between
90-92 USD per tonne CFR China. North

Sulphur market were halted towards the end of
August under the fear of Hurricane Laura in the
US Gulf Coast. Logistics were adversely disrupted
laying a direct impact on the supplies of Sulphur
across the US. Suncor Sulphur announced a planned
maintenance turnaround in mid-September that
further exacerbated the supply crisis in the last
few weeks of September. Although burners were
operated at efficient rates in tandem with strong
demand pattern as a major fertilizer producer was
heard announcing a massive surge in its Sulphur
intakes. However, limited production restricted
the export revenues of the US Sulphur
market.   Europe   Extended turnarounds in
refineries as a repercussion of Covid-19
restricted the supply of Sulphur across the
European market. The supply also got affected
under the stress of shifting to a low Sulphur
fuel on various government initiatives released
in concern with the increasing environmental
distress. Although demand remained stable in Q3,
low offtakes from the downstream capro sector
delayed the revival in its overall demand
fundamentals. With the economy paving its way
back, the demand for Sulphur from various
downstream segments is anticipated to revive
prominently by the next quarter.

• About
• Sulphur is a non-metallic chemical compound which
  occurs as a crystalline, bright yellow solid in
  its elemental form. Presently, a significant
  percentage of elemental Sulphur is produced as a
  by-product of crude oil in refineries. Crude
  Sulphur is mainly manufactured by Frasch process
  or retrieved from petroleum or natural gas.
  Sulphur processed by this route has around 99.5
  percent purity level and is thus beneficial for
  various industrial applications. Sulphur is
  primarily utilized to produce Sulphuric Acid
  which is mainly used as a bulk chemical in
  industrial processes. Elemental Sulphur is
  produced in abundant quantity across the globe.
  Countries that are largely indulged in the
  processing of sour gas and crude oil like Canada,
  Former Soviet Union and United States register
  maximum production of Sulphur in the
  international market. Sulphur is regarded as one
  of the essential plant nutrients next to
  phosphates and nitrogen, hence, it is widely
  utilized as a key ingredient in fertilizers.
