尿素需求、產能、產量、價格分佈、產業展望(截至2034年)Urea Demand, Production Capacity, Volume and Price Range and Industry Outlook Report Till 2034 |
尿素需求:依用途
全球尿素市場的主要驅動力在於其在肥料領域的廣泛應用,由於其高氮含量,尿素在肥料領域佔據了最大的佔有率,而氮含量對作物生長至關重要。三聚氰胺的生產也嚴重依賴尿素,尿素為層壓板和塑膠等產業做出了貢獻。尿素作為一種非蛋白質氮源,可用於動物飼料中,以增強反芻動物的消化能力。其他用途包括醫藥、化學中間體和除冰劑。全球農業需求的不斷成長、工業應用的不斷拓展以及畜牧業的蓬勃發展,持續推動全球尿素市場的成長。
主要製造商
全球主要企業有卡達化肥公司、CF工業公司、沙烏地基礎工業公司、雅苒國際公司、科赫化肥公司、OCI工業公司、歐洲化學公司、湖北化肥公司、魯西化工集團、Zaklady Azotowe Pulawy SA、四川瀘天化等。
2023年,俄羅斯是最大的尿素出口國,出口量約750萬噸,其次是中國,出口量為530萬噸,而巴西是最大的進口國,同年進口了超過750萬噸的尿素。
市場動態
農業領域的需求不斷成長
日益成長的糧食和農業需求推動了尿素的需求。在美國、巴西和印度等國家,尿素被廣泛用作富氮肥料。尿素可以改善土壤健康,並提供重要的養分,促進植物的強勁生長。預計未來幾年,中國、日本、印度、韓國和巴西等農業大國對尿素的需求將會增加。
尿素需求的主要促進因素之一是全球農業的持續成長。隨著世界人口的成長,對作物的需求也隨之成長,農民大多選擇使用尿素等富含氮的肥料來提高作物產量,滿足日益成長的糧食需求。尿素能夠提高土壤肥力,促進小麥、水稻和玉米等各種作物的健康生長,是現代農業不可或缺的投入品。
向有機農業的轉變
然而,人們對有機農業日益成長的興趣正在影響尿素的使用。由於尿素會釋放氨和二氧化碳,這些物質可能對健康和環境有害,越來越多的人選擇非化學方法。有機農業使用由動植物糞便製成的天然肥料,並採用病蟲害防治方法。例如,印度推出了一項名為PKVY(Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna)的項目,以推廣有機農業,這可能會減少尿素等化學肥料的使用。
限制尿素使用的環境法規
尿素的生產和過量使用會對環境造成負面影響。尿素會釋放氨等污染物,使土壤酸化,降低土壤自然肥力,並損害有益微生物。過量使用尿素也會增加土壤毒性,對種子生長產生負面影響,並損害作物。西歐一些國家已開始禁止使用固態尿素肥料。許多地方嚴格的環境法規預計將限制尿素市場未來的成長。
本報告對全球尿素市場進行了深入分析,包括市場動態、行業趨勢、細分市場需求和製造商概況。
Urea, also called carbamide, is a white, crystal-like substance made from carbonic acid. It is produced by combining carbon dioxide with ammonia and is then turned into small pellets or granules for use. Urea is not only made in factories but is also naturally produced in the bodies of mammals during the breakdown of proteins.
In farming, urea is mainly used as a fertilizer because it provides nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth. It also serves as a protein supplement in animal feed and is used in the production of other materials like resins and diesel exhaust fluids. Urea-formaldehyde compounds, in particular, are valued in agriculture for slowly releasing nitrogen into the soil.
Urea demand, by Application
The global urea market is primarily driven by its widespread use in fertilizers, which accounts for the largest share due to its high nitrogen content essential for crop growth. Melamine production also relies heavily on urea, serving industries such as laminates and plastics. Urea is utilised in animal feeds as a non-protein nitrogen source to advance digestion in ruminants. Other applications include pharmaceuticals, chemical intermediates, and de-icing agents. Growing agricultural demand, expanding industrial uses, and rising livestock farming worldwide continue to fuel the global urea market's growth.
Key Manufacturers
Some of the top global companies involved in urea production include Qatar Fertilizer Company, CF Industries, SABIC, Yara International ASA, Koch Fertilizer LLC, OCI Industries, EuroChem, Hubei Chemical Fertilizer Company, Luxi Chemical Group, Zaklady Azotowe Pulawy SA, and Sichuan Lutianhua.
In 2023, Russia was the leading exporter of urea, sending out about 7,500 kilo tons. China followed with over 5,300 kilo tons. On the other hand, Brazil was the top importer, bringing in more than 7,500 kilo tons of urea during the same year.
Market Dynamics
Rising demand from Agriculture segment
The growing need for food and farming is boosting the demand for urea. It is used widely as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in countries like the United States, Brazil, and India. Urea helps improve soil health and provides key nutrients that support strong plant growth. Countries with large agricultural sectors, such as China, Japan, India, Korea, and Brazil, are expected to see rising demand for urea in the coming years.
One of the primary drivers of urea demand is the continuous growth of the global agricultural industry. As the world's population increases, the need for crop also increases and farmers mostly rely on nitrogen-rich fertilizers like urea to improve crop yields and meet the growing food demand. Urea helps enhance soil fertility and supports the healthy growth of various crops including wheat, rice, and corn, making it an essential input in modern agriculture.
Shift Towards Organic Farming
However, the increasing interest in organic farming is affecting the use of urea. As urea releases ammonia and carbon dioxide, which can be harmful to health and the environment, more people are choosing chemical-free methods. Organic farming uses natural fertilizers and pest control methods made from plant and animal waste. For instance, India has launched a program called Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna (PKVY) to promote organic farming, which could reduce the use of chemical fertilizers like urea.
Environmental Regulations Limiting Urea Use
Urea production and overuse can harm the environment. It releases pollutants like ammonia, which can make soil acidic, lower its natural fertility, and harm beneficial microbes. Too much urea can also negatively affect seed growth and damage crops due to increased soil toxicity. Some countries in Western Europe have even started banning solid urea fertilizers. Strict environmental rules in many places are expected to limit the future growth of the urea market.
