The study involved four major activities for estimating the current size of the global urea market. Exhaustive secondary research was conducted to collect information on the market, the peer product market, and the parent product group market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizes with the industry experts across the value chain of urea through primary research. Both the top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the overall size of the urea market. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation procedures were used to determine the size of different segments and sub-segments of the market.

Market Definition
Urea is an organic compound that exists as a white odorless and tasteless crystalline solid, consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. It is highly soluble in water and hence is crucially necessary in the majority of industrial and agricultural sectors all over the world. Urea primarily acts as a fertilizer, which contains high percentages of nitrogen, making it proficiently efficient in transport and application in agriculture. Besides its strategic position in agriculture, urea serves as a raw material for chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals, and through animal feed, it serves as the source of important nutrients. Urea is a critical component of high productivity in agriculture and assists other industrial operations, and it is also substantially applied in environmental applications, like diesel exhaust fluid, to reduce the nitrogen oxide concentration that diesel engines emit, thereby paving its way toward cleaner air standards.
