Europe Urea Fertilizers Market by Application [Grains & Oilseeds, Fruits & Vegetables, Rest (Crops)] - Forecasts to 2019

The European urea market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 1.9%, during the period of 2014 to 2019. The demand for urea has continued to remain robust across all regions. The constant rise in grain prices in recent years has encouraged farmers to maximize yields. Additionally, fertilizers are affordable due to the increase in income levels.

Urea is an easy and abundant source of nitrogen. Urea is applied to the entire range of grains, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables and crops, and each has its capacity to synthesize naturally. The cost of producing urea is dependent on the cost of its raw materials, which are natural gas and ammonia.

The European urea market is dominated by France, followed by Germany.  In Italy, there has been a considerable increase in meat consumption, along with that of other such products. And, the increase in meat production directly affects the increase in demand for corn and other agricultural commodities, which are necessary to manufacture/produce animal feed. This has increased the demand for nitrogenous (urea) fertilizers in the country.

The European urea market is a competitive market, with firms such as Agrium Inc., Yara International ASA, and EuroChem, among others, which are expanding their share in the European region. These companies are adapting numerous market strategies including innovative product developments, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and expansion of existing facilities. Apart from these companies, there are a large number of small firms present in the European market.

Fertilizers are used to aid the growth of crops, particularly when the soil lacks nutrients. Nitrogen is one of the key elements required for a healthy crop. Crops that grow with the help of nitrogenous fertilizers usually have better and higher growth rates because the nitrogen in the fertilizers assimilates into the chlorophyll, generating a better rate of photosynthesis for the plant. The use of nitrogenous fertilizers also gives crops better color and texture.

Fertilizers can be classified into two types, namely organic and inorganic. Organic fertilizers include bone meal and organic compost, while chemical or inorganic fertilizers are made artificially. Chemical/inorganic fertilizers are commercially produced in the form of granules or powders and are classified into three categories, namely nitrogen fertilizers, phosphorus fertilizers, and potassium fertilizers. Among the aforementioned categories of fertilizers, nitrogen plays a vital role as it is the main constituent of proteins, which are essential for the growth and development of crops. Regular and sufficient supply of nitrogen determines a plant’s growth, vigor, color, and yield.
