尿素の世界市場は、予測期間中(2023-2030年)にCAGR 1.8%でかなりの成長が見込まれています。エンドユーザー産業による尿素の消費拡大は、世界の尿素市場の成長を促進する重要な要因です。尿素は工業化学品の中で窒素含有量が最も高く、農業の肥料として高い需要があります。アメリカ化学会によると、尿素生産量の90.0%以上が農業に使われています。残りの年間2,000万トンは、飼料、尿素-ホルムアルデヒド樹脂、スキンケア用エモリエント剤、バルビツール酸製造などに使われています。農業における尿素の需要拡大を見据え、いくつかの政府は尿素プラントの生産能力拡大に投資しています。
インド政府によると、2021年に4つの新しい尿素プラントが稼動し、2023年には5つ目のプラントが稼動する予定です。ちなみに、5つ目のプラントの一括請負契約は、中国の国有企業であるWuhan Engineeringに発注されました。これらのプロジェクトが承認されれば、尿素の生産において同国は自立することになります。尿素増産プロジェクトの立ち上がりは、世界の尿素市場の成長に有利な機会を提供すると予想されます。しかし、尿素の使用に関する健康上の問題が、予測期間中の市場成長を阻害する可能性があります。
COVID-19の大流行は世界の尿素市場にマイナスの影響を与えています。World Bank Groupによると、2020年5月の肥料価格は8.5%下落しました。投入コストの低下と季節需要の低迷が、供給のボトルネックが徐々に緩和されたことを上回ったためです。尿素価格は、季節需要の低迷と原料コストの大幅低下により、5月にほぼ3年ぶりの安値まで下落しました。この価格下落は、3月と4月の価格上昇に続くものでした。これは、労働者不足と輸送システムの障害により、施錠、検疫、国境管理が一時的に供給に影響を与えたためです。尿素生産の主要原料である欧州の天然ガスは、5月に数十年来の安値まで下落しました。
グレード別セグメントのうち、肥料グレードのサブセグメントが世界の尿素市場でかなりのシェアを占めると予想されます。市場成長を促進する主な要因としては、農業やその他を含む様々なセクターで肥料として尿素が多く消費されていることが挙げられます。尿素は窒素組成が高く、輸送・貯蔵コストが低いため、低コストの窒素肥料です。尿素は、土壌肥沃化プログラムにおいて窒素のみが必要な場合に選択される肥料です。
これとは別に、テクニカルグレードは尿素市場でかなりの成長を示すと予想されています。接着剤、医療用医薬品、染料、消毒剤、化粧品の製造における技術グレード尿素の使用量の増加が、この市場セグメントの成長を促進しています。
すべての地域の中で、アジア太平洋地域が世界の尿素市場でかなりのシェアを占めると予想されます。インドと中国がこの地域市場の成長に大きく貢献しています。インドは農業を基盤とする国で、人口の約75.0%が直接的または間接的に農業に依存しています。持続可能な作物生産に対するニーズの高まりに対応するため、同国で農薬の有用性が高まっていることが、この地域市場の成長に寄与している主な要因です。さらに、これらの国々では、食糧安全保障に対する政府の関心の高まりや、農業分野における生分解性材料の需要の増加により、尿素の需要が大きく伸びています。
Title: Global Urea Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Grade (Fertilizer, Feed, and Technical), and by End-User Industry (Agriculture, Automotive, Medical, and Others), Forecast Period (2023-2030).
The global urea market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 1.8% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The growing consumption of urea by end-user industries is a key factor driving the growth of the global urea market. The urea has the highest nitrogen content of all industrial chemicals and is in high demand as a fertilizer in agriculture. According to the American Chemical Society, more than 90.0% of urea production goes into agriculture. The remaining 20 million tons made annually goes into animal feed, urea-formaldehyde resins, emollients for skin care, and barbituric acid manufacture. Looking towards the growing demand for urea in agriculture industry several governments are investing in the production capacity expansion of urea plants.
According to the government of India, four new urea plants have been commissioned in 2021, and a fifth is expected in 2023. The lumpsum turnkey execution contract for the fifth plant has, incidentally, been awarded to the Chinese state-owned firm Wuhan Engineering. The approval of the projects will make the country self-dependent in terms of urea production. The rising project launches to increase the urea production is anticipated to offer lucrative opportunity for the growth of the global urea market. However, the health related problems regarding urea usage may impede its market growth during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made negative impact on the global urea market. According to the World Bank Group, fertilizer prices declined by 8.5% in May 2020 as lower input costs and weak seasonal demand outweighed the gradual easing of supply bottlenecks. Urea prices fell to a near three-year low in May due to low seasonal demand and sharply lower feedstock costs. The decline followed price increases in March and April as lockdowns, quarantines, and border controls temporarily affected supplies due to a shortage of workers and challenges to transportation systems. European natural gas, a key input to urea production, fell to multi-decade lows in May-almost 60.0% lower than at the start of 2020.
The global urea market is segmented based on grade and end-user industry. Based on grade, the market is sub-segmented into fertilizer, feed, and technical. Based on end-user industry, the market is sub-segmented into agriculture, automotive, medical, and others. Among the end-user industry, the agriculture industry held considerable share in the urea market based on end-user industry. High usage of urea in agriculture industry as a fertilizer is a key factor driving the growth of this market segment
Among the grade segment, the fertilizer sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global urea market. The primary factor driving the market growth includes the high consumption of urea as a fertilizer among the various sectors including agriculture and others. Urea is a low-cost nitrogen fertilizer form, as its high nitrogen composition and consequent low transport and storage costs. Urea may be the fertilizer of choice when only nitrogen is needed in a soil fertility program.
Apart from this, the technical grade is anticipated to exhibit considerable growth in the urea market. The growing usage of technical grade urea in manufacturing of glue, medical drugs, dyes, disinfectants, and cosmetics is driving the growth of this market segment.
The global urea market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa and Latin America). Among these, the European regional market is anticipated to exhibit a considerable over the forecast period, followed by North America. Significant increase in urea projects across Germany, UK and the Netherlands is a key factor contributing towards the high share of the regional market. Further, the presence of key market players across the region and their contribution in establishment of new production plants across the region is another major contributor towards the high share of the regional market.
Among all the regions, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold a considerable market share in the global urea market. India and China are the key contributors to the growth of the regional market. India is an agriculture-based country with approximately 75.0% of the population is reliant on farming, directly or indirectly. The rising utility of agrochemicals in the country to meet the growing needs for sustainable crop production is a key factor contributing towards the growth of the regional market. Further, these countries have witnessed significant demand for urea owing to the increasing government focus towards food security and the increasing demand for biodegradable materials in the agriculture sector.
The major players operating in the market include: SKW Stickstoffwerke Piesteritz GmbH, Yara International Ltd., BAF SE, Nutrient Ltd., EuroChem Group and so on. These companies are making continuous investments in R&D to make progress in producing technologically advanced urea. Mergers & acquisitions, geographical expansion, production capacity expansion, partnerships, and collaborations are some of the key strategies adopted by the market players to remain competitive in the market place. For instance, in March 2021, Koch Fertilizer (KF) invested around $150 million at its Enid, Oklahoma, the US, nitrogen production facility to increase urea production and enhance the reliability of existing production units as well as improve rail infrastructure and ammonia truck loading facilities. The project will increase production of ammonia upgrade products such as urea. Once complete, it will be able to supply up to 1.8 million tpy of ammonia upgrade products.
