Executive Summary
Urea is a safe and practical substance with a lengthy history, naturally occurring through the metabolic processes of proteins and widely found in mammalian urine.
Urea is available in various grades, including fertilizer grade, feed grade, and technical grade. Technical grade urea refers to urea produced and utilized for industrial applications beyond fertilizer. The technologies employed encompass stamicarbon technology, snamprgetti or saipen technology, and conventional technologies. These applications extend to fertilizer production, urea-formaldehyde (UF) and melamine resins, melamine (cyanurates), animal feed, and other uses across diverse end-user industries. These industries span agriculture, chemicals, automotive, medical, and more.

The urea market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $47.64 billion in 2023 to $48.94 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to factors such as agricultural demand, the global growth of the population, fluctuations in raw material prices, applications in various industries, and prevailing climate conditions.
The urea market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $54.96 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to factors such as environmental regulations, prevailing global economic trends, the impact of climate change, market competition, and consumer preferences. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass price volatility, changes in agricultural practices, advancements in production innovation, the adoption of alternative fertilizers, and the influence of government subsidies.
The anticipated growth in the urea market is expected to be propelled by the expanding agriculture sector. Agriculture, encompassing the art and science of soil cultivation, crop production, and livestock, relies significantly on urea as a crucial agricultural fertilizer. Urea plays a vital role in enhancing plant growth and increasing crop yields by providing plants with an easily accessible source of nitrogen. For example, in December 2022, the Food and Agriculture Organization reported a 2 percent increase in the global production of primary crop commodities, reaching 9.5 billion tonnes in 2021 compared to the previous year. The production of key contributors to vegetable oils, including oil palm fruit, soya beans, and rapeseed, also increased by 2 percent to 859 million tons in 2021. Consequently, the growing agriculture sector remains a key driver for the urea market's growth.
The rising demand for urea from diverse end-users, such as the automotive industry, is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the urea market. The automotive industry, involving various organizations engaged in the design, development, manufacture, marketing, sale, and maintenance of motor vehicles, relies on urea, particularly in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. Urea's role in the automotive sector significantly aids in reducing harmful emissions, enhancing air quality, ensuring compliance with regulations, and promoting technological advancements for more environmentally friendly vehicles. As reported by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) in May 2023, the global production of motor vehicles reached 85.4 million units in 2022, reflecting a 5.7% increase from 2021. Therefore, the growing automotive industry serves as a driving force for the urea market.
Technological advancements represent a prominent trend gaining traction in the urea market, with major players directing their efforts toward the development of innovative products. This includes the creation of slow-release urea products and coated urea products. Slow-release urea products, which release nitrogen over an extended period, reduce the need for frequent applications and enhance the efficiency of nitrogen uptake by plants. In September 2022, ICL Group Ltd., an Israel-based multinational manufacturer, introduced eqo.x, a controlled release fertilizer (CRF) coating for urea. This technology, designed for open-field agriculture, features a quick biodegradation time and helps farmers maximize crop performance while minimizing environmental impact by minimizing nitrogen loss and improving nutrient use efficiency (NUE) by up to 80%.
Major companies in the urea market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to support sustainable and cost-effective agricultural practices. Strategic partnerships involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits. For example, in September 2023, SABIC Agri-Nutrients Company, a Saudi Arabia-based fertilizer company, partnered with ADM and BiOWiSH Technologies. This collaboration introduced biologically enhanced urea fertilizer with lower greenhouse gas emissions, powered by BiOWiSH technology, promoting sustainability in agriculture. The pilot project covering 50,000 acres in the midwestern United States for the 2023 growing season aims to gather data on emission reductions, aligning with SABIC AN's commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 and advancing environmentally friendly practices in the urea market.
In April 2022, Casale SA, a Switzerland-based developer of core technologies for ammonia production, acquired Green Granulation Limited. This strategic acquisition enhances Casale SA's portfolio with new technology, strengthens its position in the domestic Chinese market, and allows the company to adopt a comprehensive one-stop-shop strategy for providing customers with the entire N-based fertilizer production cycle-from raw materials to finished goods. Green Granulation Limited, based in the Netherlands, is a provider of fertilizer-related process technology.
