Sulfur has many industrial applications. Through its main derivative sulfuric acid (H2SO4), sulfur is considered one of the most important elements used as an industrial raw material. It is of paramount importance to every sector of the world economy.

Sulfuric acid production is the major use of sulfur, and sulfuric acid consumption is considered one of the best indicators of a nation's industrial development. More sulfuric acid is produced annually in the United States than any other industrial chemical.

Sulfur is also used in batteries, detergents, rubber vulcanization, fungicides, and in the production of phosphate fertilizers. Sulfites are used to whiten paper and as a preservative in wine and to dry fruit. Because of its flammable nature, sulfur is also used in matches, gunpowder, and fireworks. Sodium and ammonium thiosulfates are used as photographic fixing agents. Magnesium sulfate, known as Epsom salts, can be used as a laxative, a pickling agent, a debarking agent, or as a magnesium supplement for plants.

In the late 18th century, furniture makers used molten sulfur to create decorative inlays in their products. Because sulfur dioxide is created during the smelting process, furniture with sulfur inlays was quickly discarded.
