Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Sulphur sourcing decisions with real market data
South Africa (10.7%), United States (9.5%) and Kazakhstan (7.1%) are the top supplier countries among 84 Sulphur suppliers, spread across 32 countries, with no single origin dominating the base. The typical range is USD 510 - 820 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 695 median, meaning buyers should expect variation and compare offers carefully. Buyer inquiries fell 49.1% to 54 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 15.5 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

84 suppliers are actively offering Sulphur on the platform, with 32 of them updating their listings in the last 30 days. This shows a steady level of engagement and responsiveness—buyers can expect fresh pricing, availability, and terms without long waits, even in a category where supply chains can be slow to react. 145 active listings mean there’s a broad range of grades, pack sizes, and specifications available at once. A buyer looking for a specific quality or delivery term has a strong chance of finding a match without needing to start from scratch or rely on custom quotes. Suppliers come from 32 countries, offering a wide geographic spread. This diversity means buyers aren’t locked into one region’s supply risks—whether due to local regulations, transport constraints, or seasonal availability—and can source more flexibly across regions. Buyer inquiries dropped 49.1% over the last 30 days, which suggests a temporary slowdown in demand.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Sulphur saw 37 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 18 from the previous month. Compare listing dates when evaluating similar offers to ensure the most current terms are being considered.
Is the market busy?

This gives buyers more names to consider, but the newer ones have less track record to assess. Review each supplier's listing history before contacting them for the first time.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Sulphur listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 14 October 2026 - 145 active listings, 110 buyer requests, 51 source documents, and 437 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Sulphur type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Sulphur, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
