Europe Sulphur Price Trend

Q1 2025:

As per the sulphur price index, the European market maintained high price levels due to finite supplies. Production output was hampered by maintenance plans at refineries. Overall consumption did not significantly increase in spite of these supply-side issues, especially in the agricultural input segment. The market remained solid due to stable usage and limited availability. As a result, sustained supply pressures and steady downstream demands supported the sulphur market’s steady trajectory throughout the time frame.

Q4 2024:

Throughout Q4 2024, the European sulphur market steadily increased, mostly as a result of severe supply and growing production costs. As Russian oil imports were prohibited, there was a greater reliance on low-sulfur crude, which raised operating costs. The current planting season was essential in maintaining demand, especially in the agrochemical industry, which exacerbated market constraints. Even with some respite from plant restarts and more imports, enduring issues, including limited stock and production troubles, shaped the market.

Q4 2023:

Several variables affected the price of sulphur on the European market. Lower consumption rates of existing inventories were caused by a reduction in demand from the downstream agrochemical sector, which had an effect on the market. The combination of large inventory levels and weak demand created a gloomy market environment. The decline in the price of sulphur was partly caused by the downturn in the upstream crude oil market.
