SULPHUR RECOVERY MARKET OVERVIEW

The global sulphur recovery market size was approximately USD 2.39 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 4.05 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.

Sulphur recovery is a significant unit in the refinery and gas plants. It helps balance the environmental protocols by reducing the harsh effects of the reaction. The absence of sulphur recovery can cause adverse environmental consequences that include lethal SO2 toxicity and extreme acid rain. To control the harsh effect of the product, the Claus plant is placed to convert H2S into important elemental Sulphur. 

The presence of sulphur recovery also minimizes the amount, that will be released into the environment. The recovery of element helps in reducing the harsh emissions. The product recovers H2S as elemental Sulphur by processing the Claus reaction. Claus reaction is known as the most important gas desulphurization process. It recovers from the gaseous hydrogen sulfide and helps in reducing the emission into the atmosphere. 

COVID-19 Impact:

Lockdowns & Reduction in Manpower to Register Negative Impact During Pandemic

The ongoing pandemic has affected various sectors globally, and the sector of chemicals and materials was no different. Emerging economies-imposed lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus, which resulted in a negative impact on the market. Additionally, increased dependency on the chemicals and acids combined with a faltering transport system globally decreased the market growth during the intended duration. Additionally, prominent players in the sector had to undergo closure due to human resources shortages. Many firms were forced to operate at less-than-optimal capacity, contributing to their downfall. 

LATEST TRENDS

Expanding Oil Consumption Globally to Drive Trends in Market

The sulphur recovery market share is anticipated to expand due to the increasing population. The rise in population leads to higher demand for oil and gas with high content of Sulphur. The need for Sulphur recovering technologies equipped with refineries is expected to become mandatory. The number of refineries is expected to increase rapidly and garner market growth. These factors are anticipated to surge growth in the market. The rising number of refinery projects in emerging countries is anticipated to aid market growth.
