British Sulphur Consultants’ Urea Ten Year Forecast and Market Analysis Service gives subscribers a comprehensive insight into the global urea industry, fully informing the reader of the current urea market and also future trends over the next decade.
Key Questions Covered in the Report
Where will demand growth be strongest? Why will this be the case?
What are the new markets for urea? Where and why have they emerged?
Where and when will new capacity be built? What factors will influence this?
When and where will capacity rationalisation occur? Why will certain plants close and others remain open?
How will supply and demand developments affect the urea market? Why will this affect the urea price?
How will urea trade evolve? Which regions will emerge as key urea exporters or importers?
What are the forecast annual prices out to 2016? Why will prices change?
Urea prices are currently at record highs. Demand for urea in emerging markets to grow crops, enabling burgeoning populations to be fed, is increasing rapidly. In Developed regions, new standards for nitrous oxide emissions and increased crop planting for biofuel production are driving up urea demand.
Investment in urea production facilities is extensive, but concentrated in regions where feedstock costs are the lowest. Over the next three to four years this investment will create a situation of oversupply in the urea market. Prices will begin to soften in sympathy with oversupply of the market.
The softening of the urea price towards 2010 will deter new investment in urea production facilities, and result in closure of uncompetitive plants. Therefore tightening the market, allowing demand to increase more rapidly than supply. This will bring about a price recovery towards 2016, as the peak of the next price cycle is reached.
The report covers these questions and others in detail, presenting a complete picture of the present and future urea market.
