III. Production Trend vs. Product Price Comparison
In July 2026, China's monthly sample sulfur production decreased by 18.66% MoM. As a by-product, sulfur is mainly sourced from crude oil, natural gas, coal, and other feedstocks. Its correlation with price is low, and output mainly depends on maintenance schedules of production units and sulfur content. On the supply side, units at Chuandongbei Gas Field, Shaanxi Future Energy, and Shangneng Petrochemical resumed production; Yulong Petrochemical increased supply; and Hainan Refining & Chemical and Shenghong Refining & Chemical were shut down for maintenance. Overall, domestic monthly production increased slightly this month.
Sample note: On the data release date, Chempricehub Information compiled the designed capacities of 135 sulfur enterprises in China, with a capacity coverage rate of over 95%.
