Lime sulfur, also called calcium polysulfide, is a synthetic substance that consistsof divalent calcium cations and anionic polysulfide chains. Itis alkaline in nature with anorange color and has a pungent odor due to release of hydrogen sulfide.In addition, lime sulfur mixture consists of small traces of calcium thiosulfate, calcium sulfite, sulfur, and gypsum.Generally, it is manufactured by boiling calcium hydroxide and sulfur with small amount of surfactant and is widely used as fungicide, bactericide, keratolytic, and antipruritic.
Increase in utilization of lime sulfur asfungicide and insecticide is expected to drive the growth of the agriculture segment. Further, application of lime sulfur in prevention of pathogens such as Notoedres, Sarcoptes, Demodex, Cheyletiella, Lynxacarus, chiggers, and lice infectionsis expected to drive the segment growth in the veterinary sector.Moreover, growing interest from customers in horticulture enhances the application of fungicides to protect ornamental and decorative flowersfueling the demand over the projected timeframe. However, new acquisitions and expansion of production facilities encourage industry players to invest in the market penetrating new market segments.
The lime sulfur market is segmented into type, application, enduser, and region. By type, the market is bifurcated into soluble liquid concentrate (SL) and suspension concentrate (SC).
