Regional overview

Updated to Q1 2021

It is unlikely the European market will experience supply problems in the coming months, but much will depend on the level of demand, not just for Europe, but internationallly and for India in particular. Furthermore, there have been concerns about logistics in relation to vessel space, truck availability and workforce owing to the pandemic. Weather will play a key role in determining demand. Heavy rains, like those experienced in 2019, could slow drilling and application.

There is still plenty of buying expected in early 2021, particularly since many buyers have held off taking a position during the final weeks and months of 2020 owing in part to economic uncertainty. Fluctuations in the US dollar could also impact demand, making US dollar priced imports expensive. A dry and mild winter will increase demand, allowing farmers to start working in their fields.

Methodology

ICIS launches Global Urea Markets General Methodology Consultation more >>

ICIS price assessments are based on information gathered from a wide cross-section of the market, comprising consumers, producers, traders and distributors from more than 250 reporters world-wide. Confirmed deals, verified by both buyer and seller, provide the foundation of our price assessments.

Our in-depth market knowledge drives our specialist focus, as we recognise the importance of individual market dynamics and not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Over 25 years of reporting on key chemicals markets, including Urea, has brought global recognition of our methodology as being unbiased, authoritative and rigorous in preserving our editorial integrity. Our global network of reporters in Houston, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Mumbai, Perth and Moscow ensures unrivalled coverage of established and emerging markets.

Nitrates Methodology

Nitrogen (N) fertilizers are produced chemically using natural gas and hydrogen that is contained in the air. Ammonia is produced by mixing nitrogen and hydrogen gases in the presence of heat, pressure and a catalyst compound.

Urea Methodology

Urea is the most widely-produced and commonly-traded nitrogen fertilizer. Production amounts to more than 140m. tonnes a year, of which about 30m.

Price reporting

Urea is a truly global product, and ICIS covers all the key global benchmark prices including; the free on board (FOB) prilled urea price; the FOB Baltic Sea prilled urea price; and the FOB Arabian Gulf (AG) granular urea price.

Urea is an extremely volatile product. For that reason, the prices provided by ICIS are key for our subscribers, who include producers and suppliers, traders and distributors, as well as consumers. It is this wide variety of people that ICIS speaks to on a daily basis.

Urea has an important relationship with crop prices, such as wheat and corn, and also the key feedstock of natural gas via ammonia. Developments in these markets are covered in the urea report.

The prices provided by ICIS are accurate and timely, and backed up by a solid methodology.

ICIS is able to draw upon global resources from our offices in Houston (Texas), Singapore, Shanghai and London, giving a truly global response to this global market.

Price history

ICIS collects pricing data on a wide range of chemical, energy and fertilizer products, including Urea. Our extensive experience in price reporting means we can offer you access to historical data dating back more than 20 years for certain commodities.

Our time series of pricing data enables you to build and model trends, to get a view of where markets might be heading. The data service includes charting functionality, allowing you to chart and download multiple data series for manipulation in your own internal models. You can also export data to Excel via the ICIS dashboard service.
