Japan urea market size reached USD 3,116.7 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4,903.8 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% during 2025-2033. The increasing demand for agricultural activities due to numerous factors, such as weather conditions, crop prices, and government agricultural policies, coupled with the inflating usage of urea-based fertilizers to enhance crop yields, is primarily driving the market.
Urea is a chemical compound with the formula CO(NH2)2. It is a white, crystalline substance that is highly soluble in water and is found in the urine of mammals, including humans. Urea plays a crucial role in the body's nitrogen metabolism, as it is a waste product of protein metabolism and is excreted through urine. In agriculture, urea is widely used as a nitrogen fertilizer because it provides a concentrated source of nitrogen essential for plant growth. Urea also has various industrial applications. It is used in the manufacture of plastics, resins, and adhesives and as a component in many skincare products, owing to its moisturizing properties. In laboratories, urea is used in biochemical research as a denaturant for proteins and as a buffer in various chemical reactions. Overall, urea has a significant impact on agriculture, biology, and industry due to its versatile properties and roles in different fields.
The urea market in Japan is influenced by a multitude of factors, and understanding these drivers is crucial for stakeholders. Firstly, the rising regional population and changing dietary habits are propelling the demand for agricultural products, creating a parallel surge in urea consumption. Moreover, the increasing focus on biofuels and renewable energy sources has led to a higher demand for urea in the production of nitrogen-based fertilizers, subsequently driving market growth. Additionally, government initiatives promoting sustainable farming practices and subsidies on fertilizers have further boosted urea sales. Furthermore, the expansion of the automotive industry has significantly contributed to the urea market, as urea is a key component in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems used to reduce emissions in diesel engines. Additionally, the industrial sector's reliance on urea for various processes, including the production of adhesives and resins, also plays a pivotal role in shaping market dynamics. This complex interplay of diverse factors is expected to drive the urea market in Japan during the forecast period.
