Insoluble Sulfur Market Growing Trade Among Emerging Economies Opening New Business-Opportunities
Insoluble Sulfur: Introduction
·
Insoluble sulfur is amorphous form of
sulfur made from heat-polymerizing of sulfur. It can also be obtained by
reacting sulfurated hydrogen with sulfur dioxide. It is a macromolecule
polymer, and there are several thousands of sulfur atoms in its molecular
chains. It does not dissolve in carbon disulfide; therefore, it is called
insoluble sulfur or polymeric sulfur.
·
Insoluble sulfur is an important
rubber additive agent. It improves product quality, wearability, and resistance
to fatigue and aging. In addition to being universally recognized as the best
vulcanizing agent, it is widely used in the manufacture of tire, rubber pipe,
shoes, cable and wire insulating materials, latex, and all kinds of automobile
rubber parts. It is also a vital component of belt tires.
·
Insoluble sulfur is primarily used in
the rubber industry. Therefore, insoluble sulfur is widely used in the
manufacture of radial rubber and other synthetic rubber products due to its
non-blooming characteristic. It is also used in light-colored rubber products.

Key Drivers and Restraints of Insoluble Sulfur Market
·
Insoluble sulfur is largely used in
the tire industry. Demand for convenient and low-maintenance tire replacements
has been rising due to the growing number of on-road vehicles across the globe.
Tire manufacturers across the globe are under intense pressure from regulators
and consumers to develop more fuel-efficient tires, while also facing
technological challenges in order to gain a competitive edge in the highly
competitive market. Increase in usage of insoluble sulfur to convert raw rubber
into complete rubber at high heat to improve the strength and flexibility of
the rubber is a major factor that is expected to drive the global insoluble
sulfur market during the forecast period.
·
Insoluble sulfur can increase the
resistance of all forms of rubber products to fatigue and aging. Furthermore,
it is used as an ideal vulcanizing agent for rubber. It is also widely used in
the manufacture of rubber chemistry such as tires, rubber pipes, shoes, cables
and wires, insulation materials, latex, and all kinds of automotive rubber
parts. Rise in demand for insoluble rubber in various applications in the
rubber industry is expected to drive the global insoluble sulfur market in the
near future.
Insoluble Sulfur: Grade Segment
·
In terms of grade, the global
insoluble sulfur market can be divided into regular grade, high stability
grade, special grade, and high dispersion grade
·
The regular grade segment is
projected to hold major share of the global insoluble sulfur market during the
forecast period. Regular grade insoluble sulfur comprises zero additive
mixtures and is commercially considered as the most important form of insoluble
sulfur.
·
The high dispersion grade segment is
projected to follow the regular grade segment during the forecast period.
Requirement for high dispersion grade is projected to rise due to its high
level of thermal stability and advanced characteristics. It typically contains
less insoluble sulfur than the other grades and is made up of polymers such as
various dispersing agents, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), and ethylene
propylene diene monomer (EPDM. High demand for tires, rubber pipes, shoes, and
cable and wire insulating materials is driving the global insoluble sulfur
market.

Insoluble Sulfur: Application Segment
·
Based on application, the global
insoluble sulfur market can be segmented into tire manufacturing, footwear,
industrial, and others
·
The tire manufacturing segment is
projected to gain higher share of the global market during the forecast period.
Tire manufacturers rely on insoluble sulfur formulators, as it is a critical
feedstock in the production of high-quality performance tires. Rise in number
of applications from tire manufacturing industry, increase in number of on-road
vehicles across the globe, growth of the automotive and manufacturing sector,
and rapid global industrialization are some of the major factors driving the
global insoluble sulfur market.
·
The footwear segment is also
projected to hold key share of the global insoluble sulfur market in the near
future. Demand for insoluble sulfur in the footwear value chain is likely to
rise during the forecast period, with changing consumer preferences and
innovation across the global footwear industry.
COVID-19 Impact on Insoluble Sulfur Market
·
On January 30, 2020, the
International Health Regulations Emergency Committee of the World Health
Organization (WHO) declared the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak a
public health emergency of international concern. Originating in China, the
virus has spread to at least 214 countries and territories around the world.
·
Several governments and private
sector businesses are operating at a limited capacity or have ceased operations
completely due to recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic
·
Manufacture of various consumer goods
and other products across the globe came to a halt due to the unavailability of
raw materials, shortage of labor, etc. This is expected to hamper the insoluble
sulfur market.

Asia Pacific to Hold Leading Share of Insoluble Sulfur Market
·
In terms of region, the insoluble
sulfur market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin
America, and Middle East & Africa
·
Asia Pacific is expected to hold major
share of the global insoluble sulfur market, followed by Europe and North
America, during the forecast period. Rapid growth of the rubber manufacturing
industry in emerging economies including India, Japan, China, and South Korea;
availability of low-cost and skilled laborers; easy regulatory standards; and
positive employment activities with economically strong nations are key factors
driving the insoluble sulfur market in the region.
·
The insoluble sulfur market in Europe
and North America is projected to expand at a rapid pace in the near future. In
North America, the market in the U.S. has gained traction, with rapid import of
rubber from China, Germany, Thailand, and Japan. This is expected to boost the
demand for insoluble sulfur in North America.
