In 2023, sulfur and sulfuric acid usage in US pesticides stood at a certain historical level. From this baseline, the forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady annual increase in volume—rising from 20.76 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 23.74 in 2028. Year-on-year growth estimates range from 3.7% to 3.1%, and the projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years averages approximately 3.4%.

Future trends to watch for include:

Increased regulation of chemical use in agriculture, potentially impacting demand.
Technological advances in pest control, which might reduce the dependency on traditional sulfur-based pesticides.
Environmental and sustainability considerations influencing the choice of pest control methods.
