European production of urea containing less than 45% nitrogen is led by France, which dominates the market, followed by the United Kingdom and Poland. Between 2023 and 2024, Poland showed a growth of 6.08%, while the UK's production decreased by 15.8%. Greece saw a notable increase of 37.97%. Other key players such as Italy and Spain remained stable, with no significant growth observed. The five-year compound annual growth rate highlights Poland's increasing share and Greece's recovery in the market.
Future trends to watch include an increasing role of sustainable agricultural practices which may impact urea production. Additionally, policies targeting emissions reduction could influence nitrogen fertilizers' demand across European countries, potentially reshaping market shares, particularly for more environmentally-neutral products.
