Urea Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

Global Urea Market Outlook 2023-2028:

The global urea market size reached US$ 50.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 57.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 1.8% during 2023-2028. The increasing demand for food and crops, rising sales of vehicles, and the growing usage in the production of medical drugs represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Urea (‎CH4N2O), also known as carbamide, is a colorless, odorless, and crystalline substance soluble in water and ethanol. It is a stable compound composed of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is generally synthesized by combining ammonia with carbon dioxide (CO2) under high pressure to obtain solid odorless white pellets or crystals. It is a dry granular substance that is easy to handle and transport. It can be applied to the soil using various equipment, such as spreaders and sprayers. It does not break down easily and is stored for a long period without losing its effectiveness as a fertilizer.

Global Urea Market Trends:
The growing global population and consequently surging need for food represent one of the major factors driving the demand for CH4N2O to improve soil fertility and crop production around the world. Moreover, declining arable land, rising food security concerns, and the growing awareness about the harmful effects of chemical-based fertilizers are catalyzing the need for eco-friendly solutions, including CH4N2O to improve crop yield. This, coupled with the shifting consumer preferences for organic food products and significant growth in the agricultural sector, is favoring the growth of the market. Besides this, the rising need for efficient cattle feed supplements is strengthening the growth of the market. In addition, CH4N2O is employed in the automotive industry to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from diesel engines and meet emission regulations. It is also used in the exhaust systems and tanks of diesel-powered vehicles to remove nitrogen oxide from the exhaust. This, along with the increasing sales of vehicles on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels, is propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising use of CH4N2O in various medical treatments like hemodialysis to remove excess fluids and waste products from the blood of patients with kidney failure is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the growing utilization of CH4N2O in the manufacturing of medical drugs and ointments to treat skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and calluses is influencing the market positively. Additionally, the increasing usage of CH4N2O in the production of other chemicals, such as adhesives, resins, melamine, and explosives, is creating a positive outlook for the market.
