Factors Affecting Sulphur Prices

Sulphur is an important raw material for a range of industries, including the fertiliser, chemical and steel sectors. As a result, changes in global prices can have a significant impact on the Indian market.

Domestic production costs are also an important factor in setting the price of sulphur in India. The country has a number of large sulphur mines, which helps to keep production costs relatively low. However, these costs can still fluctuate depending on factors such as labour costs and energy prices.

Finally, demand from Indian industry is another key driver of the sulphur market. The country's strong economic growth has led to increased demand for sulphur-based products from a range of industries. This has helped to support higher prices in recent years.
