Granular Urea Market Growth Accelerated by Rising Production of Urea Fertilizers
Granular Urea Market |
Granular urea is a synthetic nitrogen fertilizer produced industrially from ammonia and carbon dioxide. It is widely used for its high nitrogen content and compatibility with modern agricultural machinery for direct application to soils. The global granular urea market demand is driven by its usage in boosting crop yields across corn, wheat and rice cultivation. The granules offer uniform distribution and prevent nutrient losses through volatilization, supporting farmers to optimize fertilizer usage.
The global
granular urea market is estimated to be valued at US$ 47.18 Bn in 2023 and is
expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as
highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
The rising production of urea fertilizers is one of the key factors augmenting
the global granular urea market growth. Approximately 60% of nitrogen
fertilizers consumed globally are produced in the form of urea. Urea output has
increased substantially over the past few years across major producing regions
such as China, India, North America and Middle East & Africa. China
accounted for over 40% share of global urea production in 2021. Improved
fertilizer usage, agricultural productivity and conducive government policies
in developing nations are fueling investments in new urea manufacturing plants
by major producers. The increasing availability of granular urea is expected to
boost its adoption among farmers globally during the forecast period.
Segment
Analysis
The global granular urea market is dominated by the agriculture segment.
Granular urea is widely used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in agriculture to
enhance crop yields. It dissolves slowly in soil, releasing nitrogen over an
extended period of time. This sustained-release characteristic makes granular
urea highly preferred over other nitrogen fertilizers for most field crops.
Rising global demand for food due to the growing population has increased the
consumption of fertilizers, driving the agriculture segment in the granular
urea market.
Key Takeaways
The global granular urea market is expected to witness high growth over the
forecast period of 2024 to 2031. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13%
during this period and reach a Granular
Urea Market Size of US$ 47.18 billion by 2024.
Regional analysis: Asia Pacific currently dominates the global granular urea
market and is expected to maintain its leading position over the next few
years. China, India, and South-East Asian countries have large agricultural
sectors and growing fertilizer consumption. Government initiatives to boost
farm output and increase crop yields are supporting market growth. Europe and
North America are other major regions for granular urea.
