The global Insoluble Sulphur market stood at approximately 280 thousand tonnes in 2021 and is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR of 5.29% during the forecast period until 2030. Insoluble Sulphur is a universally recognized vulcanizing agent used widely in the rubber industry for improving product’s elasticity and strength. Insoluble Sulphur is widely used in high quality rubber components requiring high degree of tack and resistance to fatigue and ageing, particularly in radial tires, belting, cable and wire insulating materials and hoses.

The Insoluble Sulphur market is largely driven by its high demand in the global tire industry. With increasing number of on-road vehicles across the globe, the need for convenience and high maintenance tire replacements has been rising. The tire manufacturers across the globe are under pressure from regulators and consumers to develop more fuel-efficient tires, along with facing technological challenges to get a competitive edge in the highly crowded markets. Competitive pricing offered by automotive manufacturers across the globe has also created a surge in consumer spending on passenger cars in developing economies. Additionally, backed by rising usage of radialized tires in both passenger cars and commercial vehicles would most likely strengthen the role of Insoluble Sulphur across the automotive sector of the world. The content of Insoluble Sulphur is about 1.7 times higher in radial tires as compared to the bias tires. Surging demand for radialized tire with the automotive industry’s strong focus on improving vehicle’s fuel efficiency, better mileage and lightweight characteristics, would further boost the demand for Insoluble Sulphur in the forecast period. In addition to this, with changing consumer preferences and innovation across the global footwear industry, increased role of Insoluble Sulphur in the footwear value chain would further accelerate the market growth in the years to come. Due to these factors clubbed up, the global Insoluble Sulphur market is anticipated to reach approximately 420 thousand tonnes by 2030.

In terms of grade, the Insoluble Sulphur market is bifurcated into Regular Grade, High Stability (HS), and Special Grade (SG). Majorly, the regular grade is leading the global Insoluble Sulphur market owing to its increased usage across versatile rubber producing industries. Regular grade Insoluble Sulphur is majorly the one with no additive mixtures and is commercially considered as the most primary form of insoluble Sulphur. Rising requirement for High Stability and High Dispersion grades due to their high level of thermal stability and enhanced characteristics to serve customizable applications would bolster the demand for Insoluble Sulphur in the forecast period.

As of 2021, Asia-Pacific dominated the global Insoluble Sulphur market, having around 60% share in terms of volume. Due to rapid industrialization across China, India, Japan, South Korea and multiple other Asian countries, there has been exponential growth in the consumer spending on automobiles. Moreover, the region also contributes a major portion of footwear produced in the world thereby generating a major portion of the global Insoluble Sulphur demand throughout the year.

Based on the end-user industry, the Insoluble Sulphur market is segmented into sectors like Tyre, Hoses, Rubber Sheets, and Others. Although Tyre industry is the dominating the Insoluble Sulphur market. In 2021, this industry held approximately 70% of the market share. Due to rising demand of tyre for commercial and personal vehicles, the demand of Insoluble Sulphur as a vulcanizing agent is anticipated to rise in the forecast period.

Significant players in the Global Insoluble Sulphur market are Eastman Chemical Company, China Sunshine Chemical Co. Ltd., Shikoku Chemicals Corporation, Oriental Carbon & Chemicals Ltd, Luoyang Sunrise Industrial Co., Ltd, and others.
