Quarterly Update on Global Insoluble Sulphur Market

For the Quarter Ending December 2020

Asia

During Q4 2020, the Asian market started rising from dull dynamics and headed towards stability. Demand for Insoluble Sulphur rose in tandem with economic recovery in the APAC region.

In addition, India’s Continental Carbon announced expansion of its tire manufacturing facility at Uttar Pradesh, India. In December, Chinese rubber demand from the automotive industries increased that supported the sentiments of the additive Insoluble Sulphur.

Europe

The European market was struggling to come out of the historic fall in its tyre demand created by the COVID-induced slowdown. The European automobile sector reported improvement in its quarterly sales but still struggled to maintain their demand/supply fundamentals amidst hovering uncertainty in the market. Reduced tyre manufacturing negatively affected the demand for additive Insoluble Sulphur. Multiple plant shutdowns worsened the situation and created lower availability of Insoluble Sulphur in the region.

North America

The North American market experienced healthy revival in different sectors during the final quarter of 2020. Market sentiments were up, as an effect of significant rise in export demand from the Asia Pacific region. Demand of Insoluble Sulphur increased from the tyre manufacturing sector, due to fair improvement in the automotive sales during Q4 2020 compared to Q3 2020. Supply problems, however persisted driven by lesser operations in some regional plants.
