This report is currently available in Russian language only. However, we can provide an English version of the report within 3 weeks after receiving a payment.
This report is the twenty-second edition of a study of the sulfur market in Russia, the EAEU/CIS countries, and globally.
Market monitoring has been conducted since 2002.
The objective of the study is to analyze the Russian and CIS/EAEU sulfur markets.
The subject of the study is sulfur (lump, ground, liquid, and granulated).
A distinctive feature of this study is its detailed characterization of the main raw material sources for the production of various types of sulfur, not only in Russia but also in other CIS/EAEU countries. Information on the global sulfur market, as well as the sulfur markets of all CIS countries (including Ukraine), includes a detailed description of the largest sulfur producers and consumers. A detailed forecast of production and consumption (including by producer/consumer and by consumption sector) and sulfur prices takes into account the situation in Russia and globally due to the coronavirus pandemic, as well as Russia's special operation in Ukraine that began in early 2022.
This paper is a desk study. The following sources were used: data from statistical committees of the EAEU countries (including Rosstat, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan); international databases of the UN (UNdata), World Bank, Eurostat; international and European trade data (UN Comtrade, Trade Map); the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (up to 2022); rail transportation statistics; the SBIS database; foreign specialized companies; annual and quarterly reports of securities issuers; industry and regional press, conference materials, websites of enterprises producing and consuming the studied products; scientific and technical literature (elibrary, etc.), the FIPS patent database; the InfoMine database, etc.
Chronological scope of the study: 1997-2025; forecast – 2026-2035.
Geography of the study: Russian Federation – comprehensive detailed market analysis; CIS/EAEU countries – general retrospective market analysis; global market – brief characteristics.
The report consists of 7 parts and contains 187 pages, including 63 tables, 61 figures, and 2 appendices.
Chapter one provides a brief description of the global sulfur market for the period 2000-2025, as well as its development prospects.
Chapter two is devoted to sulfur production methods and the raw materials used in industry, examining the directions and volumes of raw material supplies to producers in the CIS/EAEU.
Chapter three analyzes sulfur production in Russia and the CIS/EAEU countries from 1998 to 2025. This section presents data on production volumes and structure, traces the dynamics of output by Russian enterprises, and examines the current status of sulfur producers in the CIS/EAEU (including data on the existing raw material base, production volumes, enterprise development plans, as well as data on the volumes and directions of product supplies in recent years).
Chapter 4 examines foreign trade operations with sulfur in Russia, Kazakhstan, and other CIS/EAEU countries from 1997 to 2025, analyzing the volumes and directions of export and import deliveries.
Chapter 5 examines sulfur price dynamics in the domestic and foreign markets of Russia and the CIS/EAEU from 2003 to 2025.
Section 6 describes the sulfur consumption market in Russia and the CIS/EAEU from 1997 to 2025. It presents production-consumption balances and a detailed analysis of the structure of sulfur consumption in Russia. It provides an overview of the main consuming industries and a description of the largest Russian enterprises consuming this product.
Chapter 7 presents a forecast (including price forecasts) for the development of the Russian sulfur market through 2035.
The appendices provide addresses and contact information for the main sulfur producers (in Russia and the CIS/EAEU) and consumers (in Russia).
The target audience for this study is:
- sulfur market participants – producers, consumers, and traders;
- potential investors.
This study is intended to serve as a reference guide for marketing departments and decision-makers working in the sulfur market.
