Which Factors Are Driving Growth in the Insoluble Sulfur Market?
The increasing number of on-road vehicles is expected to boost the growth of the insoluble sulfur market going forward. An on-road vehicle refers to an automobile that is self-propelled and intended for usage on a road. Insoluble sulfur is a necessary raw material for tire manufacturing since it increases tire quality, wearability, and resistance to aging and fatigue; hence, the increasing number of on-road vehicles is expected to boost the insoluble sulfur market. For instance, in June 2023, according to the Department for Transport, a UK-based ministerial department, by the end of December 2022, there were over 1.1 million licensed plug-in vehicles on the road, accounting for 2.8% of all vehicles. Additionally, the total number of licensed vehicles in the UK reached 40.7 million, reflecting a 1.0% increase compared to the end of December 2021. Therefore, the increasing number of on-road vehicles is driving the growth of the insoluble sulfur market.
