Sulphur is produced from the natural gas, petroleum & similar fossil resources. Specifically Sulphur is available in powder, granules & double refined granules. The various applications of Sulphur Powder discovered are in the fertilizers. The most essential form of sulfur fertilizer is into mineral calcium sulfate. It cannot be used directly by plants hence elemental sulfur is used. In winemaking & food preservation small amount of sulfur is utilized which is the most powerful tool in winemaking, it inhibits aerobic bacterial growth for the fermentation stage and souring the wine. Pharmaceutical industry too uses Sulphur for preparing various types of skin related treatments like acne, also kills fungi, parasites, bacteria, scabies mites. For furnishing the decorative inlays for wooden furniture are cut by pouring the molten sulfur.

The majority of Sulphur that is transported around the world is done as a bulk solid. The Sulphur is often stored in the open in huge stockpiles at terminals ready to be loaded onto ships, railcars or truck or at plant sites to be melted and used in the production of Sulphuric acid. Most Sulphur stockpiles are located outdoors in open where it is exposed to wind, rain, dust, salt air, etc. In some cases Sulphur is stored indoors where some protection from the elements is available.

Bulk Sulphur produced from Sulphur that has been crushed from larger pieces will be irregular in shape and possess many sharp edges and points which will be easily broken producing smaller particles and dust.
The properties of solid elemental Sulphur leave a lot to be desired from the point of view of handling and transport. Since it is by no means always Practical to move Sulphur around in the molten form, the Sulphur industry has expended a considerable amount of effort over the years on developing methods of forming Sulphur into regularly-sized particles which can be handled without giving rise to excessive amounts of dust.
Market Overview of Sulfur Industry:
The increasing demand from the fertilizer manufacturing sector, coupled with increasing usage of sulfur for vulcanization of rubber are the main factors driving the growth of the global sulfur industry. Moreover, owing to the fall of crude prices, refineries across the globe are engaging in capacity expansion and other brownfield activities, leading to higher demand for sulfur. The demand for sulfur is also anticipated to be driven by the increasing usage of elemental sulfur as a major ingredient in the vulcanization process implemented to manufacture rubber. However, the enactment of stringent environmental regulations restricting the usage of sulfur and the high costs associated with its mining, are the key factors hindering the sulfur market growth.

The global market is segmented based on end-user applications, including agrochemicals, chemical processing, metal manufacturing, petroleum refining, and others. In 2016, the agrochemical industry occupied the largest share in terms of sulfur consumption. It is expected that the healthy growth of the phosphate fertilizer market will drive the global sulfur market over the forecast year.
Geographically, the Sulphur powder market has been segmented into North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. Asia-Pacific represents the largest market in terms of consumption and production of sulfur. In the region, China is expected to be one of the largest producers of sulfur and sulfuric acid. Currently, the country imports more than a third of the global sulfur` trade. This group is able to provide sulfur with the highest quality in two kinds of granule and lump.
