What are the recent trends in market size and growth for the sulfur dioxide market?
The sulfur dioxide market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $5.89 billion in 2024 to $6.16 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing demand for fertilizers, the growth of the chemical industry, particularly in the production of detergents and soaps, rise in demand for food preservation and packaging, growth of the textile industry, particularly in the production of synthetic fibers, and increasing demand for sulfur dioxide as a byproduct of crude oil refining and natural gas processing.
The sulfur dioxide market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.34 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for sustainable fertilizers, growing need for food security and food preservation, rise of the electric vehicle industry, growing demand from biotechnology industry, increasing demand for renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and growing demand for personal care products. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence and data analytics, adoption of sustainable production methods, emergence of new applications, such as the use of sulfur dioxide in fuel cells and hydrogen production, and development of new technologies, such as membrane separation and electrochemical reduction.

How have varous drivers impacted the growth of the sulfur dioxide market?
The increasing demand for fertilizer is expected to propel the growth of the sulfur dioxide market going forward. Fertilizer refers to a substance added to the soil to provide one or more plant nutrients essential for plant growth and development. With urbanization and a declining agricultural workforce, there is a need for more intensive and efficient farming practices, including the increased use of fertilizers to boost crop yields. Fertilizers containing sulfuric acid can effectively provide plants with sulfur, a vital nutrient for their growth and development while aiding in the acidification of alkaline soils to improve nutrient availability and enhance plant health. For instance, in December 2023, according to a report published by the International Fertilizer Association (IFA), a France-based fertilizer association that provides plant nutrition solutions, global fertilizer consumption (N + P2O5 + K2O) is projected to increase by 3% to 191.5 million metric tons (Mt) of nutrients in fiscal year 2023, compared to previous years. Moreover, global fertilizer consumption is expected to rise by 2% in FY 2024 to reach 195.4 Mt. Therefore, increasing fertilizer demand drives the sulfur dioxide market.
