This report is the fifth edition of the study of the urea market in Russia, the EAEU countries and the world.
The purpose of the study is to analyze the urea markets of Russia and the EAEU countries and forecast its development.
The object of the study is urea of grades A and B.
The presented work is a desk study. The following sources of information were used: data from the statistical committees of the EAEU countries (including Rosstat, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan); international UN databases (UNdata), World Bank, Eurostat; international and European trade data (UN Comtrade, Trade Map); the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (until 2022); the Unified Information System in the Sphere of Procurement; railway transportation statistics; the SBIS database; foreign specialized companies; annual and quarterly reports of issuers of securities; industry and regional press, conference materials, Internet sites of manufacturing enterprises and consumers of the studied products; scientific and technical literature (elibrary, etc.), FIPS patent database; InfoMine database, etc.
Chronological framework of the study: 1997-2024, forecast - 2025-2035.
Research geography: Russian Federation - comprehensive detailed market analysis; EAEU and world countries - general retrospective market analysis.
The report consists of 7 parts, contains 204 pages, including 65 tables, 43 figures and 2 appendices.
The first chapter of the report provides a brief description of the world urea market and separately some countries of the former USSR in 2005-2024. Production capacities, trade, demand for urea with market development prospects and world prices are given.
The second chapter of the report provides information on the raw materials required for the production of urea, its characteristics. This chapter also provides a detailed examination of the urea production technology. In addition, data on the main suppliers of raw materials, directions and volumes of supplies, methods of transportation and storage are provided.
The third chapter of the report is devoted to the production of urea in Russia and the EAEU countries. The chapter provides statistical and estimated data on the volumes of urea production in Russia, Belarus and other EAEU countries. In addition, the quality indicators of the products obtained are provided. This chapter also describes the current state of urea producers in Russia, Belarus and other EAEU countries, as well as new urea production projects.
The fourth chapter of the report provides data on foreign trade operations with urea in Russia, Belarus and other EAEU countries for the period 1999-2024.
The fifth chapter provides information on the level of urea prices on the domestic Russian market in 2000-2024. The chapter also analyzes data on changes in export-import prices for urea in Russia from 1999 to 2024.
The sixth chapter of the report examines the consumption of urea in Russia and the EAEU countries. This section presents the production-consumption balances of this product, the industry structure of consumption, describes the current state of the main industries consuming urea, provides the main consumers and the current state and development prospects of the largest consumer enterprises.
The seventh chapter of the report provides a forecast for the development of the Russian urea market for the period up to 2035.
