Market Definition

Insoluble sulfur is an amorphous form of sulfur that results from the heat-polymerization of sulfur. It can also be made by combining sulfurated hydrogen and sulfur dioxide. It's a macromolecule polymer with thousands of sulfur atoms in its molecular chains. As it does not dissolve in carbon disulfide, it is known as insoluble sulfur or polymeric sulfur.

Global Insoluble Sulfur Market Dynamics

Drivers

  • Growing Need for Tires Due to Rise in On-Road Vehicle

In the tire industry, insoluble sulfur is widely used. The growing number of on-road vehicles on the planet has increased demand for convenient and low-maintenance tire replacements. Tire manufacturers worldwide are under intense pressure from regulators and consumers to develop more fuel-efficient tires while also facing technological challenges to gain a competitive edge in a highly competitive market. The increased use of insoluble sulfur to convert raw rubber into complete rubber at high temperatures to improve the strength and flexibility of the rubber is expected to drive the global insoluble sulfur market during the forecast period 2023-2030.

  • Product Innovations and Collaborations

The market has undergone significant changes as a result of key multinational innovations. Eastman Chemical Company, for example, introduced CrystexCure Pro in February 2018, a non-blooming vulcanizing agent used in rubber formulation to improve the qualities of radial tires. Furthermore, Nynas, a specialty bitumen and naphthenic oil producer introduced a line of products under the Nytex brand that are commercially available in various viscosities and are highly compatible with robust types of rubber as well as sulfur.

Opportunity

  • Introduction of Biodegradable Options and Other Innovations

Furthermore, the leading players' increasing launch of biodegradable Insoluble Sulfur further extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2023-2030. Additionally, the cigarette filter innovation has resulted in the addition of novel flavored Insoluble Sulfur, such as menthol, clove taste, chocolate and others, which will further expand the future growth of the global insoluble sulfur market.

Restraint/Challenge

  • Disrupted Supply Chains

A disrupted supply chain due to the pandemic and volatility in raw material prices will likely act as market restraints for the growth of insoluble sulfur in the above-mentioned projected timeframe. Lack of material availability will be market growth's most significant and immediate challenge.
