The price of sulphur is influenced by several factors, including:
• Global supply and demand: Production is largely tied to oil and gas refining, while demand is driven by the fertilizer and chemical industries.
• Crude oil and natural gas prices: As a co-product of these industries, fluctuations in energy prices can indirectly impact sulphur production costs and availability.
• Logistics and transportation costs: The cost of moving sulphur from production sites to consumption centers plays a significant role.
• Environmental regulations: Regulations impacting sulphur emissions (e.g., in shipping fuels) can also affect demand for certain sulphur products or by-products.
• Geopolitical events: Disruptions in major producing or consuming regions can lead to price volatility.

It can be traded in various physical forms, such as molten or formed (e.g., prills, pastilles, Flakes, lump). Sulphur trading companies manage complex logistics for transport, which includes long-standing partnerships with rail, road, and marine transport companies to ensure timely and safe delivery globally. Given sulphur's properties, specialized handling, storage, and transport procedures are crucial.

Sulphur trading companies primarily source elemental sulphur as a co-product recovered from oil and gas production, particularly from "sour" gas and oil (which contain significant sulphur impurities). Major production regions include the United States, Canada, the Former Soviet Union, and West Asia. Additionally, some sulphur is produced in the form of sulphuric acid as a by-product of ferrous and non-ferrous metal smelting operations.

Sulphur is a non-metallic chemical element (S) that is a vital raw material for numerous industries worldwide. It is primarily used to produce sulphuric acid, the world's most widely used chemical, which is essential for manufacturing fertilizers (especially phosphates), chemicals, paints, rubber products, and more. Sulphur is also a crucial nutrient for crops, animals, and people. Its widespread industrial applications and its role in agriculture make it a highly valuable and internationally traded commodity.
