According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Coal-based Urea market size was valued at US$ 27254 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 27718 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 0.1% during review period.
Coal-based urea production refers to a urea production route that uses coal as the main raw material, producing syngas (mainly composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) through coal gasification, followed by chemical processes such as conversion, desulfurization, and ammonia synthesis, ultimately reacting with carbon dioxide to produce urea. This process does not rely on natural gas resources and is suitable for large-scale deployment in areas rich in coal resources. It is one of the important production methods in China's urea industry. Its characteristics include a relatively stable source of raw materials and a complete industrial chain, but its energy consumption and carbon emission levels are relatively high, requiring strict environmental protection and energy efficiency management. In 2025, global production was approximately 74.73 million tons, and currently, coal-based urea production is mainly concentrated in China.
In the global urea industry, coal-based urea, as a unique production route based on coal resources, has long played a vital supporting role in resource-rich countries and regions. Especially in market environments with relatively scarce natural gas resources and abundant coal reserves, coal-based urea not only ensures the security of domestic nitrogen fertilizer supply but also serves as an important industrial link between energy, chemicals, and agriculture. Despite its energy consumption and environmental impact, coal-based urea still occupies an indispensable strategic position in the global urea supply structure.
From a technological perspective, coal-based urea is centered on coal gasification, converting coal into syngas, which is then reacted with carbon dioxide in an ammonia synthesis unit to produce urea, forming a complete integrated production chain. Compared to natural gas-based urea, the coal-based route has significant advantages in raw material acquisition and supply stability, making it particularly suitable for large-scale deployment in countries and regions with concentrated coal resources and high energy self-sufficiency requirements. This characteristic determines the significant regional concentration of coal-based urea in the global urea industry.
From a market supply perspective, coal-based urea production capacity is mainly concentrated in Asia, with China being the core producer of coal-based urea globally. Leveraging its abundant coal resources and mature coal chemical industry system, China's coal-based urea accounts for a significant share of global urea supply, exerting a substantial influence on the international market's supply and demand balance. Meanwhile, some emerging economies are also exploring coal gasification-based urea production pathways to reduce dependence on imported natural gas and fertilizers and enhance their self-sufficiency in agricultural inputs.
In terms of cost structure, coal-based urea exhibits typical "energy-driven" characteristics, with production costs highly dependent on coal prices, energy efficiency levels, and environmental protection investment. As environmental regulations become stricter and carbon emission reduction pressures increase, the cost advantage of traditional high-energy-consuming coal-based plants is gradually weakening, leading to significant differentiation within the industry: on the one hand, small and medium-sized plants with low energy efficiency and high emissions face pressure to exit the market; on the other hand, large-scale integrated projects employing advanced gasification technology and possessing waste heat recovery and comprehensive utilization capabilities for by-products still maintain strong long-term competitiveness.
From a product structure perspective, coal-based urea is primarily agricultural granular urea, a crucial basic fertilizer source for ensuring food production. Meanwhile, with the upgrading of downstream demand, coal-based urea is gradually extending into areas such as industrial-grade urea and automotive urea raw materials, increasing added value through product diversification. This transformation means that coal-based urea is no longer just a "low-cost alternative," but is gradually integrating into a wider range of chemical and environmental applications.
From an industry trend perspective, coal-based urea is at a critical juncture of transformation and upgrading. On the one hand, global carbon emission reduction and energy consumption control policies continue to constrain the coal-based route; on the other hand, through technologies such as efficient coal gasification, clean production, and carbon dioxide recovery, coal-based urea still has room for optimization. Given the rigid demand in agriculture and the prominent demands for resource security, coal-based urea will not quickly disappear from the historical stage, but will enter a new phase of "quality improvement and quantity reduction, and structural optimization."
