Sulfur is one the most important raw material of the chemical industry. Majority of sulfur is used in preparation of its derivatives such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydro sulfide, sodium hydrosulfite, sodium sulfite, sodium sulfide and sodium thiosulfate. Sodium sulfites include dry and liquid sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfate solution and sodium metabisulfite. These chemicals are majorly used in applications like paper, pulp and textile processing, food and photographic industries and in water treatment as reducing and precipitating agent.

2.  Report Description
Sulfur is one the most important raw material of the chemical industry. Majority of sulfur is used
in preparation of its derivatives such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydro sulfide, sodium hydrosulfite,
sodium sulfite, sodium sulfide and sodium thiosulfate. Sodium sulfites include dry and liquid
sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfate solution and sodium metabisulfite. These chemicals are majorly
used in applications like paper, pulp and textile processing, food and photographic industries
and in water treatment as reducing and precipitating agent.
Sulfur chemicals are used in food applications and the growth in food industry is accompanied
by relevant growth in the demand for sulfur chemicals. Sulfur chemicals are used as
preservatives for increasing the shelf life of food. There has been growing demand for food and
food products from Asia Pacific owing to increasing population in these regions. Countries such
as China, India are witnessing an increase in the disposable income. Hence, the consumption of
processed food is also on the rise in these regions, due to changing lifestyles in this region.

3.  Scope
The other major application of sulfur chemicals is in textiles, where they are used for dyeing. The
textiles market has recently been shifted to emerging economies such as China and India. The
textiles production, especially the consumption of sodium hydrosulfide in dyeing application has
been recently shifted to India and China. There has been a growing demand for sodium
hydrosulfide for kaolin leaching especially from Brazil. The demand for sodium hydrosulfide is
anticipated to grow even further with increasing paper production and the growing trend
towards high brightness papers. With increasing stringent regulations over wastewater
treatment, the demand for sulfur chemicals for water treatment application is expected to
witness strong growth in the next few years. The switch to digital photography has hampered
the demand for sulfur chemicals used in Photographic applications. The downward trend for this
application is expected to continue in the next few years.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest demand for sulfur chemicals followed by North America
and Europe. In Asia Pacific, China was the largest market for sulfur chemicals in terms of
consumption. The growth in textile industry and paper industry is expected to further propel the
demand for sulfur chemicals in this region.

4.  Key Players
Some of the major companies operating in the global sulfur chemicals market are AkzoNobel
Functional Chemicals, Solvay Chemicals, PVS Chemical Solutions Inc. and TIB Chemicals AG
among others.
Strict regulations pertaining to water treatment has resulted in growing demand for sulfur
chemicals in this region. Europe and North America have similar market conditions for sulfur
chemicals. In Europe, Germany was the largest market in terms of followed by France, Italy and
U.K. Latin America also constitutes as a major market for sulfur chemicals. Brazil is the largest
Consumer of sulfur chemicals in Latin America. The demand for sulfur chemicals is also growing
in countries such as Argentina, Peru etc.
