Category | Region | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liquid Sulphur Dioxide | Bulk Chemical and Fertilizer | Asia Pacific | 182 USD/MT |
In Asia Pacific, there has been strategic destocking from suppliers who are looking to align with the emerging demands from downstream industries. This approach decreases the current inventories in concordance with the current demand that comes from the different industrial sectors and end users. Moreover, the Food and Beverage industry is showing strong and positive demand trends, but the Sulphuric Acid market is declining due to decreased fertilizer production in the key industries. This disjunction brings to the fore a significant difference in patterns of demand with one of the sectors rising and the other facing diminishing demand pressures.
Currently, the price of Liquid Sulphur Dioxide is 182 USD/MT, with a drop of 15.78 % related to the previous periods. The fall off underscores the uncertainty of the market conditions and the constant adjustment of players to the changing consumer dynamics in the Asia-Pacific region.

Europe Liquid Sulphur Dioxide Price
Q2 2024:
The European liquid sulphur dioxide market in the second quarter of 2024 experienced a notable price surge due to a combination of supply and demand factors. The primary cause was an extensive maintenance schedule among European smelters, leading to reduced availability and a subsequent supply crisis. This situation was worsened by limited supplies of molten sulphur, essential for production, due to constraints faced by sulphur burners. The combined effect of these supply-side issues sharply decreased market availability, elevating prices. Furthermore, strong demand from the agrochemical industry was propelled by seasonal planting needs.
Q4 2023:
In Europe, during the 4th quarter of 2023, the price decline in the liquid sulphur dioxide (SO2) market was due to the drop in sulfur price, being an important feedstock for the Liquid SO2 production. The general crude market conditions, geopolitical factors and global sulphur supply have influenced the cost of sulphur, affecting further liquid SO2 pricing. Apart from that, reduction in the demand from other downstream sectors like chemicals, food industry, has caused this decline in the price too. With an economic recession in the region, together with uncertainty in main industrial enterprises, there was a decline in the demand for Liquid SO2.
This analysis can be extended to include detailed liquid sulphur dioxide price information for a comprehensive list of countries.

North America Liquid Sulphur Dioxide Price
Q2 2024:
North America's liquid sulphur dioxide market in Q2 2024 experienced significant price growth due to a mix of rising production costs and increased demand. Escalating prices of upstream sulphur and crude oil, leads to more expensive production. This trend was part of a larger pattern impacting several sectors that rely on both of these feedstocks. An upswing in manufacturing activity also contributed to the high pricing. Industrial demand for liquid sulphur dioxide increases on account of a surge in new orders and employment. Besides this, supply chain issues including delayed deliveries as well as higher transportation costs, added to these challenges.
Q4 2023:
The North American region experienced downward trend in the prices of liquid SO2 (SO2) as at the 4th Quarter in 2023. This can be attributed to the decrease in the price of a major sulphur source in its production process. The amount of inventory in suppliers' warehouses has been reduced after the decreasing rates in prices for several months. The decline that has occurred in demand for Sulphuric Acid, attributed to the reduced activities in the fertilizer sector, has altered the total liquid SO2 market. Contrary to expectations of a high surplus of liquid sulphur dioxide, major industries are keeping large stocks in the market, hence destocking strategies are important in what way they can align themselves with the downstream demand.

Asia Pacific Liquid Sulphur Dioxide Price
Q2 2024:
The Asia Pacific liquid sulphur dioxide market in the second quarter of 2024 witnessed a significant price increase due to various contributing factors. One primary influence was the surge in feedstock sulphur prices, driven by global supply scarcities, along with the growing demand. Higher fuel and transportation costs also pushed operational expenses upward, adding to the price pressures. Supply chain disruptions, including plant shutdowns and operational delays, further constrained availability and tightened the market. Furthermore, India faced substantial price movements because of the peak of the plantation season that spiked demand.
Q4 2023:
In the Asia Pacific region, by the last quarter of 2023, the price of liquid sulphur dioxide dropped significantly, when the fall in the price of one its main raw material, sulphur, was the most influential factor. The ongoing downward trajectory in prices as seen over these past few months indicates the unwavering trend of the market that results in inventory control via the backflush operation of suppliers. The market for sulphuric acid in the downstream market is completely stagnant due to the low output of fertilizers. The present scenario is of decreased market inventory as suppliers struggle with demand from downstream industries.

- Liquidic Sulphuric Acid is a major component of several industrial operations that are chemical synthesis and purification and wastewater treatment. As per the data from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), the chemical industry is the greatest consumer of sulfur dioxide, accounting for around 70% of the total sulfur dioxide generated. Besides, its versatility is applicable in the food processing industry where it is used as a preservative and in water treatment where it is enlisted as a disinfectant. The value of sulfur dioxide applications as reliable and effective means makes industrial sector to maintain the demand which is a vital part of the stability of the market.
- The United States witnessed the immense benefit of the Clean Air Act by reducing sulfur dioxide emissions. These measures accelerated the adaption of emission control systems and the utilization of the clean fuel, which brings about a significant drop in sulfur dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. For instance, as reported by 2020 report commissioned by NRDC, the annual benefits of Clean Air Act programs prevented 370,000 premature deaths.
- Liquid Sulfur Dioxide is one of the most valuable products used in energy sector - sulfur recovery in natural gas processing. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) says that Sulfur Recovery Units in natural gas processing plants produce at least 10 million metric tons of sulfur all over the world. Such units are especially crucial for hydrogen sulfide purification, being bi-product of gas refining. The recruited sulfur is then capitalized across different sectors, such as agriculture, chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. The continuous involvement of liquid sulfur dioxide in meeting the demands of the energy and industrial sectors indicates how significant liquid sulfur dioxide is in the energy sector and in industrial processes.
- The fast-growing trend of industrialization, especially in the emerging economies, has escalated the demand for sulfur dioxide towards the various sectors. Industries, such as mining and metallurgy, are using sulfur dioxide as ore processing and metal extraction they need sulfur dioxide. According to the estimates made by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the world sulfur dioxide emissions are forecasted to keep on rising, due to the fact that heavy industry expands and makes progress in regions, like Asia. Such a trend tends to emphasize the pivotal role of sulfur dioxide as the universal aid to industrial development and coping with the ever-changing and more sophisticated industrial world.
