In 2023, the U.S. exported sulfur and sulfuric acid valued at 66.3 thousand metric tons. Starting in 2024, forecasts indicate a continuous decline in exported volume, with 64.9 thousand metric tons anticipated for 2024, eventually decreasing to 59.9 thousand metric tons by 2028. The yearly reductions roughly translate to a -1.97% year-on-year average decline over the next five years. This downward trend highlights a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.0%.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in global demand for sulfur and sulfuric acid, particularly in developing industries, and the possible impact of environmental regulations on sulfur-related production and export activities.
