Sulphur Recovery Technologies Market Analysis

The Sulphur Recovery Technologies Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 2.33% over the period.

COVID-19 negatively impacted the market in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels.

  • Over the long term, environmental awareness and regulations drive the Sulphur Recovery Technologies Market. Operators are striving for maximum reduction of sulphur emission from activities such as transportation and electricity, for which the sulphur technologies are a viable solution, thereby driving the global market.
  • On the other note, the high cost required to reduce the sulphur content is a restraint for the Sulphur Recovery Technologies Market.
  • LNG Bunkering is expected to increase rapidly beyond the forecast period. De-sulfurization of gas is expected to proliferate with the increase in the number of ships using LNG for water transportation. Thereby providing an opportunity for growth in the Sulphur recovery technologies market.
  • Due to high oil and gas production, increased environmental regulations, and increased refining capacity, Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period, with most demand coming from China and India.

Sulphur Recovery Technologies Market Size Summary

The Sulphur Recovery Technologies Market is poised for growth, driven by increasing environmental awareness and stringent regulations aimed at reducing sulphur emissions from transportation and electricity generation. The market, which experienced a downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels. Despite the high costs associated with sulphur content reduction posing a challenge, opportunities are emerging, particularly in LNG bunkering, as the use of LNG in maritime transport expands. The Asia-Pacific region, led by China and India, is expected to be the largest market, fueled by high oil and gas production, increased refining capacity, and stringent environmental regulations.

Refineries are the primary end-users of sulphur recovery technologies, with the Sulfur Recovery Unit (SRU) playing a crucial role in reducing sulphur content in fuels, thereby enhancing emission controls and reducing air pollution. The market is anticipated to grow as investments in oil and gas refining plants increase globally, driven by new regulations such as the IMO 2020 rules, which mandate lower sulphur content in marine fuels. The Asia-Pacific region, with its rapid growth in energy-intensive industries and significant investments in refining and petrochemical infrastructure, is expected to maintain its dominance. Key players in the moderately fragmented market include Enersul Limited Partnership, WorleyParsons Limited, Shell Plc, Bechtel Corporation, and Fluor Corporation, among others, who are actively involved in projects to expand and upgrade sulphur recovery capabilities.
