What is Urea?

Urea is a nitrogen-rich chemical compound (CO(NH₂)₂) widely used as a fertilizer due to its high nitrogen content of about 46%. It is produced by reacting ammonia with carbon dioxide under high pressure. Beyond agriculture, urea is also used in resins, animal feed supplements, pharmaceuticals, and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

Factors Affecting Urea Prices

Urea prices are influenced by several key factors:

• Natural Gas Costs: As ammonia production depends heavily on natural gas, fluctuations directly impact urea manufacturing costs.
• Agricultural Demand: Seasonal planting cycles significantly affect consumption patterns.
• Export Policies: Trade restrictions and government subsidies influence global availability.
• Production Outages: Plant shutdowns and maintenance schedules can tighten supply.
• Freight and Logistics Costs: Shipping rates and port disruptions impact regional pricing.

Supply and Prices – January 2026

In January 2026, urea prices displayed mixed momentum across regions. Northeast Asia recorded price increases, while Africa remained stable. Europe and the Middle East observed moderate gains, supported by firm feedstock costs and steady export demand. Overall, global supply remained adequate despite seasonal demand variations.

Urea Price Index and Market News

The urea price index strengthened slightly in early 2026, reflecting improving fertilizer demand and higher natural gas prices in certain regions. Market news highlighted steady export activity from the Middle East and cautious procurement strategies in importing nations.

Urea Price Trend – January 2026

The urea price trend in January 2026 was moderately bullish. Seasonal agricultural demand and firm energy costs supported upward pricing in select markets. However, sufficient global production capacity prevented sharp price spikes, maintaining overall balance.

Future Outlook and Current Demand

Looking ahead, urea demand is expected to remain strong due to global food security concerns and expanding agricultural activity. Growth in diesel exhaust fluid usage will further support consumption. Future price movements will largely depend on natural gas trends and government fertilizer policies.
