Urea Strippers Market Outlook (2022 to 2032)

The Urea Strippers Market was valued at USD 7819.44 million by 2022. The urea strippers market is expected to grow at a rate of 2.4% from 2022 to 2032, reaching USD 9912.32 million by 2032.

The rise in the widespread use of urea strippers as a fertilizer is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.

Furthermore, the significant use in non-fertilizer applications such as melamine formaldehyde resins, urea-formaldehyde resins, and livestock feed, among others, is expected to drive the growth of the urea strippers market.

Furthermore, the increased demand for food due to population growth is expected to dampen the growth of the urea strippers market.

Driving Forces

The global market is expected to grow due to the use of urea in non-fertilizer capacities such as urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, and livestock feed. Local demand is likely to drive market growth because it is primarily consumed in the countries where it is produced.

The increased output of the market's leading manufacturers is expected to boost market growth.

Land is likely to become a key concept for producers as a result of increased demand for agricultural products and the need to ensure high production with limited resources.

Urea strippers are likely to be used more frequently to increase crop yield and productivity. Due to the increased demand for agricultural products and the need to maximize output with limited resources, land is likely to become a critical concept for producers.

This is likely to result in greater use of urea strippers to increase crop yield and production. As agriculture is the most important end-use industry for urea strippers, rising food demand is likely to directly drive the market's growth rate.

Rising Population Drives Market Growth

The global population in 2020 is 7.8 billion, and the population in 2019 is estimated to be 7.6 billion, a 1.08% increase from 2018. Global population growth has been consistent in recent years and is expected to continue.

Major Obstacles

During the manufacturing process, urea emits harmful pollutants. Furthermore, a higher ammonia concentration in the soil makes it more acidic, delaying the soil's natural fertility.

This has resulted in the establishment of stringent urea regulations in agriculture, which has a direct impact on the urea strippers market. Furthermore, recent incidents of urea stripper leakage are posing challenges and impeding market growth.

Regional Outlook

Urea Strippers Market in the Asia Pacific

In terms of both market value and volume, Asia Pacific is the dominant region. The region's expansion is aided by Asia Pacific's expanding agricultural base.

Governments in the region are constantly launching projects, such as the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) project, which aims to increase the adaptive capabilities and productivity of smallholder farmers through climate-smart and gender-sensitive sustainable intensification strategies.

Such initiatives directly benefit the urea stripper market. Furthermore, key players are focusing on policies that are likely to provide high-end stripping columns with a higher urea yield and better operational performance.

The presence of the majority of leading players in the region, including Larsen & Toubro, ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd, and Toyo Engineering India Pvt. Ltd, Paramount Limited, and Kay Iron Works (Jorian) Pvt. Ltd is supporting market growth.

China is the world's largest melamine-formaldehyde market. As a result of increased investments in the construction and polymer industries, the chemical sector's support is propelling the Asia Pacific urea stripper market forward.

Urea Strippers Market in North America

North America accounts for a sizable portion of the global urea strippers market. According to the 2017 Census of Agriculture, the total area of farmlands in the United States decreased from 914,527,657 acres in 2012 to 900,217,576 acres in 2017.

Such conditions are expected to increase the use of dual cultivation, in which fertilizers are used to maintain soil fertility and pesticides are used to increase crop yield, thereby increasing demand for urea. These factors are likely to drive the urea stripper market.

The United States is the leading producer of urea-formaldehyde resin. The region's expanding chemical base is increasing the demand for urea strippers.

The market for Urea Strippers in Europe

In terms of market value, Europe holds a lucrative position in the global market. The region's expansion is due to an increase in demand for urea strippers in the region. Key players in Europe's fertilizer market are planning to increase their manufacturing capacity, particularly for urea, which is expected to drive stripper sales forward.

The regional market is witnessing a shift in key players' focus on strategies to provide high-end stripping columns to end-users in order to improve operational efficiency.

Technology is playing a significant role in achieving this goal. Casale and Kaiser's optical system created the AURORA real-time data monitoring software for urea plants. Such technological integration is propelling the growth of the market.

Duplex Steel to Increase Market Value by Construction Material

According to the construction material segment, the duplex steel segment is expected to increase market value. The segment's growth over the forecast period is due to its greater economic significance when compared to its counterparts.

Capacity to grow up to 1000 MTPD

The segment of up to 1000 MTPD is expected to grow at an astounding CAGR between 2020 and 2030. Currently, 1500-3500 MTPD and 1000-1500 MTPD are the preferred capacities for most grassroots fertilizer projects.

1500-3500 MTPD is equivalent to a capacity of 1,500-1,800 MT/D for an ammonia plant. Analyzing the recent trend and utility of ammonia units with capacities greater than 2,000 MT/D in the coming years, the above 3500 MTPD segment is expected to be the first choice throughout the assessment period.

Start-up Ecosystem

Saipem was the first licensor/contractor to surpass 3,000 mt/d urea capacity in a single train with the start-up of a 3,250 mt/d plant for Profertil in 2000. More recently, Saipem completed the world's first 3,835-m.t./d single-line urea plant at the end of 2010.

The Engro-Enven 1.3 complex, located in Daharki, Pakistan, consists of a single-train ammonia (2,200 mt/d) plant and a single train of prilled urea (3,835 mt/d). The plant employs ammonia technology from Haldor Tops0e A/S (Lyngby, Denmark; www.topsoe.com) and Saipem Snamprogetti technology for urea synthesis and prilling.

Competitive Environment

Manufacturers have begun to develop new technologies and innovations in order to maximize profits. Tier 1 and Tier 2 players are major shareholders in the urea strippers market. This has increased competition among players, resulting in newer developments in the field.
