硫黄パスティーユの世界市場：2024～2031年

世界の硫黄パスティーユの市場規模は、2023年に15億米ドルに達し、2024～2031年の予測期間中にCAGR 3.2％で成長し、2031年までに19億米ドルに達すると予測されています。

予測期間中、工業処理が硫黄糊剤の世界需要のかなりの部分を占めると予想されます。リチウム、コバルト、銅、ニッケルの抽出と精製は、航空宇宙産業と自動車産業の急速な拡大により、数年来の高水準に達すると予想されます。

リチウム化学電池の進化も、世界市場に新たな成長機会をもたらすと予想されます。科学者たちは、リチウム硫黄電池のエネルギー密度を向上させ、性能を長持ちさせるために、硫黄正極を使用する可能性を研究しています。こうした電池は、将来の電気自動車の主流電源になる可能性があります。

ダイナミクス

世界のタイヤ生産の成長

自動車産業は現在、電気自動車の大量導入に向けて急速にシフトしています。電気自動車はトルクとスピードが大きいため、タイヤの摩耗が早く、交換サイクルが短くなります。多くのタイヤメーカーが、特殊なトレッドパターンと厚い素材を使用したEV専用タイヤの新ラインを発表しています。

多くの産業アナリストは、2024年の年間生産量を前年比3.4%増の2,270万トンと予測しています。メーカーは特に、インドや中国のような急成長市場での生産能力増強に注力しています。多くの自動車メーカーが2035年までに電気自動車に全面的に移行すると予想されることから、予測期間中、世界のタイヤ生産量は硫黄合剤の需要を増大させると思われます。

農業生産性の向上

最近の国連データによると、世界人口は2022年12月頃に80億人に達しました。さらに、現在の予測を信じるならば、2050年には世界の総人口は約97億人に達すると予想されます。世界人口の増加は、農業生産性を高め、将来の食糧安全保障を確保するよう各国政府や多国間組織に圧力をかけています。

近代的な農法の登場により、農作物の収量と生産性は大幅に向上しました。国連の食糧農業機関（FAO）が実施した長期調査によると、2000～2022年までの過去20年間で、主要食糧作物の収量は52％増加しています。硫黄合剤は主に農業用肥料として使用されます。今後、農業生産性の向上への取り組みが強化されるため、硫黄合剤の需要は今後数年間で増加すると思われます。

硫黄汚染に対する懸念の高まり

硫黄合剤およびその他の化合物の使用に関する主な懸念は、大気汚染の急増です。二酸化硫黄（SO2）のような化合物は、硫黄化合物の燃焼によって大気中に放出されます。SO2汚染は酸性雨の原因にもなり、生物に深刻な影響を与えます。米国肺協会は、SO2に慢性的にさらされると、息切れや喘息、肺機能の低下といった健康症状を引き起こす可能性があるとしています。

各国政府は工業用硫黄の排出を厳しく取り締まっています。さらに、化学メーカーは、ゴムの工業加工における硫黄の代用品として、さまざまな環境にやさしい添加剤を開発しています。政府の規制がさまざまな硫黄化合物の段階的廃止につながるにつれて、世界市場は長期的に潜在的な成長課題を目の当たりにする可能性があります。

Overview

Global Sulphur Pastilles Market reached US$ 1.5 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1.9 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.

Industrial processing is expected to make up a significant chunk of the global demand for sulphur pastilles during the forecast period. The extraction and refining of lithium, cobalt, copper and nickel expected to hit multi-year highs due to rapid expansion of aerospace and automotive industries.

The evolution of lithium chemistry batteries will also present new growth opportunities for the global market. Scientists are investigating the possible usage of sulphur cathodes for improved energy density and longer-lasting performance in lithium-sulphur batteries. Such batteries could become the mainstream power source for future generation of electric vehicles.

Dynamics

Growth of Global Tyre Production

The automotive industry is currently witnessing a rapid shift towards the mass adoption of electric vehicles. It has opened a major business opportunity for tyre manufacturers, since the high torque and speed of electric vehicles means faster wearing of tyres leading to shorter replacement cycles. Many tyre manufacturers have launched new lines of EV-exclusive tyres with special tread patterns and thicker materials.

Many industry analysts have forecasted annual production of 22.7 million tons in 2024, representing an increase of 3.4% from the previous year. Manufacturers are particularly focused on raising production capacity in rapidly growing markets like India and China. With many carmakers expected to fully shift towards electric vehicles by 2035, global tyre production will augment demand for sulphur pastilles during the forecast period.

Improvements in Agricultural Productivity

Recent UN data revealed that the global population reached 8 billion around December 2022. Furthermore, if current projections are to be believed, the total global population is expected to reach around 9.7 billion in 2050. A rising global population is putting pressure on governments and multilateral organizations to increase agricultural producitivity and ensure food security for the future.

The advent of modern agricultural practices have made considerable improvements to crop yields and productivity. A long-term study undertaken by UN's food and agricultural organization (FAO), has found that yields of primary food crops has increased by 52% over the past two decades spanning from 2000-2022. Sulphur pastilles are mainly used as agricultural fertilizers. As efforts to improve agricultural productivity will intensify in the future, the demand for sulphur pastilles will rise over the coming years.

Growing Concerns About Sulfur Pollution

A major concern about the usage of sulphur pastilles and other compounds is the rapidly rising rates of air pollution. Compounds like sulfur dioxide (SO2), are released into the air on the burning of sulfur compounds, which occurs when farmers burn crop fodder after using sulphur fertilizers. SO2 pollution also leads to acid rain, which severely impacts living beings. The American Lung Association states that exposure to SO2 can cause health symptoms like shortness of breath, asthma and loss of lung function after chronic exposure.

Governments are clamping down hard on industrial sulphur emissions. Furthermore, chemical manufacturers are developing a range of eco-friendly additives as a substitute to sulphur in the industrial processing of rubber. As government regulations lead to phase out of various sulphur compounds, the global market could witness potential growth challenges over the long term.

Segment Analysis

The global sulphur pastilles market is segmented based on type, process, application and region.

90% Sulphur is Expected to Have the Highest Growth Rate During the Forecast Period

Sulphur 90% is mainly being utilized to restore pH balance in alkaline soils, since slightly acidic conditions are more conducive for crop growth. Another factor is to correct soil balance which is disrupted due to excessive usage of pesticides. When crop demand exceeds natural sulphur levels in the soil, the resultant deficits can be remedied using sulphur 90% pastilles.

Rubber processing is another major application for sulphur 90%, especially for vulcanizing rubber in tyre production. As electric vehicle production rises, it is highly likely that rubber processing will overtake agriculture to garner the highest market share during the forecast period.

Geographical Penetration

The Growth of the Automotive Industry Will Propel Market Growth in Asia-Pacific

Asia-Pacific will garner roughly a third of the global market share. The current ongoing shift towards electric vehicles will continue to generate demand for sulphur pastilles during the forecast period. China has emerged as the largest global automotive exporter, overtaking Japan in 2023, with exports totaling nearly US$ 208 billion. With even consumer electronics companies like Xiaomi producing their own electric vehicles, it has created a rapid surge in demand for EV components and materials.

India is yet another major country in Asia-Pacific that is witnessing rapid growth of its domestic automotive industry. In 2023, India also displaced Japan to become the third largest automotive market in the world. As tyre and rubber manufacturers drive to localize production, it will continue to grow the demand for sulphur pastilles over the long term.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The pandemic marked a challenging period for the global market. The automotive industry experienced major production disruptions, which in turn reduced demand from tyre manufacturers. Furthermore, as countries increased the severity of their pandemic lockdowns, it led to labor shortages that significantly halted sulphur mining and processing.

The global market underwent a gradual recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic as major end-user industries returned to normalcy. However, some regions had weaker recovery due to the lingering effects of supply chain disruptions. At least over the short term, the recovery of the global market is likely to be challenging.

Russia-Ukraine War Impact Analysis

One of the major consequences of the war in Ukraine was the disruption in the production and sales of Russian and Ukrainian fertilizer companies. The industrial assets of most Ukrainian fertilizer producers were destroyed by the war fighting. For Ukraine's agricultural sector, demand can only be fulfilled by imports from western European countries.

The economic sanctions on Russia for the war, has made it difficult to acquire sulphur pastilles as it is unable to conduct U.S. dollar transactions. Therefore, the Russian government has instituted an alternative barter arrangement, trading crude oil and other natural resources for for industrial and consumer goods.
