硫磺是很多肥料生产不可或缺的原料，硫磺对国际肥料生产的相关作用，使得硫磺价格和需求程度成为国际肥料价格的指向标。粗略估计，2012年中国磷肥出口量占到国际市场总贸易量的21.8%，硫磺进口量占到国际硫磺贸易量的38%。可见中国磷肥出口和硫磺进口对世界磷肥市场影响之大。 

Sulfur is indispensable to a lot of fertilizer production raw material,Sulfur related role for the international fertilizer production,Make sulfur demand and the price level to become an international beacon of fertilizer prices.A rough estimate,In 2012 China's phosphate fertilizer exports account for 21.8% of the total volume of the international market,Sulphur imports 38% of the sulfur international trade.Visible Chinese phosphate exports and sulfur imports phosphate fertilizer market impact on the world. 

　　硫磺的需求正在逐年上涨。2013年的硫磺需求量将达到550万吨。据预测，未来的需求量还将持续上涨。数据显示，2012年北美硫磺生产量为1450万吨左右，其中美国为800万吨，加拿大为620万吨。2013年北美的产量与2012年相比将略有上涨。另外，亚洲、沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋等地区的产量在2013年略有增长。 

Demand of sulfur is rising year by year.Sulfur demand will reach 5.5 million tons in 2013.According to the forecast,The demand of the future will also continue to rise.According to data,In North America the sulfur capacity of 14.5 million tons in 2012,Including the United States is 8 million tons,Canada is 6.2 million tons.Production in North America in 2013, compared with 2012 rose slightly.In addition,Asia/Saudi Arabia/The united Arab emirates and other regions of the output to rise slightly in 2013. 

　　全球硫磺市场中，用来生产工业硫酸的硫磺占45%，其中，用于肥料生产的占60%以上。从肥料的生产工艺上来说，硫酸与磷矿合成磷酸。磷酸、硫酸是磷肥、复合肥生产的重要原料。所以硫磺价格、需求等的变化直接影响到了全球肥料需求、价格变化，硫磺与肥料生产持高度的相关关系。 

The global sulphur market,Sulfuric acid to produce industrial sulphur (45%),Among them,Used in fertilizer production accounted for more than 60%.In terms of production technology of fertilizer,Synthesis of sulfuric acid and phosphate rock phosphate.Phosphoric acid/Sulfuric acid is p/The important raw material for compound fertilizer production.So the price of sulphur/Changes in demand such as directly affected the global demand for fertilizer/Price changes,With high degree of correlation between sulfur and fertilizer production. 

　　硫磺作为原料导向型产品，生产所需的原材料主要为石油、煤炭或天然气。2012年全球由石油为主要原料生产的硫磺为2400万吨，主要生产地区为中国、印度、西班牙、英国。以天然气、煤炭为主要原料生产的硫磺为2700万吨，主要生产地区为中国、卡塔尔、沙特。预测表明，2013年，以石油为主要原料的地方转向北美，而以天然气、煤炭为原料的生产主要集中在中东和中国等地区。 

Sulfur as raw material - oriented products,Production needed raw materials mainly for the oil/Coal or natural gas.In 2012 global sulfur by oil as the main raw material production of 24 million tons,Major production areas in China/India/Spain/The UK.With natural gas/Coal as the main raw material to produce sulphur is 27 million tons,Major production areas in China/Qatar/In Saudi Arabia.Prediction shows that,In 2013,,To North America by oil as the main raw material,And with natural gas/Coal as the raw material of production mainly concentrated in the Middle East and China and other regions. 

　　目前全球硫磺出口国为俄罗斯、北美、中东地区、日本、韩国；主要进口国为中国、摩洛哥、印度、巴西。全球最大的硫磺出口国为加拿大，2012年出口量约为600万吨，其次是俄罗斯，为470万吨左右。最大的进口国是中国，2012年进口量为1000万吨，中国进口的硫磺其中74%是用来磷肥的生产。根据调查研究显示，中国进口硫磺数量呈逐年上升的趋势，这与国内磷肥产能扩张、全球磷肥需求强劲有关。除中国外，摩洛哥也是全球主要的硫磺进口国之一，近期，随着摩洛哥的需求量下降，主要出口国的出口量有所下降。2012年，摩洛哥硫磺进口量由640万吨下降到300万吨，巴西由2012年210万吨下降至190万吨，印度相对稳定，在180万吨左右。 

The global sulphur exporter for Russia/In North America/In the Middle East/Japan/In South Korea;A major importer for China/Morocco/India/Brazil.The world's largest sulphur exporter for Canada,Exports about 6 million tons in 2012,The second is the Russia,Is 4.7 million tons.Most are from China,In 2012, imports of 10 million tons,China's import of sulfur 74% is used for phosphate fertilizer production.According to investigation and study,China's import of sulfur amount showed a trend of rising year by year,This is the domestic phosphate capacity expansion/Global demand p.Besides China,Morocco is one of the major global sulfur importer,The recent,As a fall in demand for Morocco,A leading exporter of exports fell.In 2012,,Morocco sulfur imports dropped from 6.4 million tons to 6.4 million tons,Brazilian dropped from 2.1 million tons in 2012 to 1.9 million tons,India is relatively stable,Around 1.8 million tons. 

　　展望未来硫磺市场，2013年的硫磺市场整体供大于求，主要进口国摩洛哥、中国的需求量将影响整个国际市场的走势。2013年全球硫磺供应量保持稳定，但是需求量的下降导致市场不会很火热。另外，生产原料的调整也将会导致硫磺市场后市以震荡调整为主。（

Looking to the future of sulfur market,In 2013 the sulfur market supply as a whole,A major importer of Morocco/China's demand will affect the entire international market.In 2013 the global supply of sulfur is stable,But the fall in demand for the market is not very hot.In addition,The adjustment of the production of raw materials will also lead to the sulphur market is given priority to with shock adjustment.(
