Sulphur Recovery Technology Market

Middle East & Africa to Hold Major Share in Global Sulphur Recovery Technology Market

Future Market Insights comprehensively analyzed the sulphur recovery technology market by segmenting it into four regions- Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. In terms of value, Middle East & Africa is estimated to dominate the global sulphur recovery technology market.

However, on the basis of annual growth rate, the Americas are expected to register a noteworthy CAGR in the global sulphur recovery technology market, owing to increasing oil & industry in this region. North America market is projected to grow 4.2x its current value by the end of forecast period, on the back of substantial consumption of sulphur recovery technology in the region.

Upgradation of Tail Gas Treatment Technology to Propel Market Growth

Increasing occurrences of hydrogen sulphide rich feed streams influences sulphur recovery unit manufacturers to upgrade and modify their offerings to meet standards that limit emission of sulphur dioxide. Hence, most companies are upgrading their tail gas and air treatment technology to capture a significant share in the sulphur recovery technology market.

BASF introduced its new tail gas treatment technology to reduce sulphur content and increase plant efficiency. This technology decreases sulphur emissions from tail gas treatment units and lowers operational expenditure, attributable to the reduced amine circulation rates and reboiler duties.   

Increasing Governmental Support to Create Lucrative Growth Opportunities

Economic and political measures are being taken by several governments to support the oil & gas industry. For instance, Mercosur aims to promote free trade and fluid movement of goods, people, and currency between countries in South America. Similarly, in Brazil, some regulatory authorities are acting in favor of a fair tax and royalty’s regime to support the oil & gas industry, which in turn is expected to drive the demand for sulphur recovery technology.

The rise in number of refinery projects supported across the globe by government initiatives are creating significant opportunities for manufacturers of sulphur recovery technology.
