Marine Urea is the necessary reactant for the functionality of Specialist Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. It is a colourless, organic compound of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen (CO(NH2)2), and is non-toxic, non-flammable and stable solution.
Marine urea (AUS 40) has gradually become one of the important environmental protection materials in recent years as international ship emission standards have become increasingly stringent. AUS 40, a 40% high-purity urea aqueous solution, is mainly used in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification technology of ships to reduce NOx emissions, in line with the requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for ship emissions. As an important part of the environmental protection industry, the market status and future development trends of the marine urea market are affected by many factors.
At present, with the continuous upgrading of global environmental protection regulations, the shipping industry is facing higher emission standards. The "International Maritime Organization 2020 Sulfur Emission Control Requirements" implemented by IMO in 2020 effectively limits the sulfur content of ship emissions and promotes the adoption of more environmentally friendly technologies by ships around the world. In order to meet more stringent NOx emission standards, especially for medium and high power ships, the application of SCR systems has developed rapidly, and this system is the key equipment to reduce NOx emissions by using marine urea (AUS 40).
According to market research data, the marine urea market has experienced significant growth in the past few years, especially in Europe, North America and Asia. In particular, China, Japan and South Korea, which are major shipbuilding and operating countries, have become the main markets for global marine urea consumption. With the transformation of ships to low sulfur and low nitrogen emissions, the demand for marine urea has increased year by year. Especially for new ships, more and more shipowners choose to equip SCR systems, which directly drives the demand for marine urea.
However, the market development of marine urea still faces some challenges. First, the production of marine urea requires highly sophisticated processes and high production costs, which makes some small and medium-sized ship operators invest more in urea procurement. Secondly, there is a certain instability in urea production capacity and supply chain conditions worldwide, which may lead to market price fluctuations.
Global key players of Marine Urea (AUS 40) include Yara, CF Industries, GreenChem, Sichuan Meifeng, Shandong New Blue, etc. The top five players hold a share about 70%. Europe is the largest market, has a share about 46%, followed by America, and Asia-Pacific, with share 31% and 20%, separately.
