Global Caustic Soda and Urea Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Caustic Soda and Urea market size is expected to reach $ 147710 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 3.3% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Sodium hydroxide is also known as caustic soda, caustic, and lye. Anhydrous (100%, solid) caustic soda has a chemical formula of NaOH and a molecular weight of 40.00.

Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound with chemical formula CO(NH2)2. This amide has two –NH2 groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. Urea serves an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds by animals and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals. It is a colorless, odorless solid, highly soluble in water, and practically non-toxic. Urea is widely used in fertilizers as a source of nitrogen and is an important raw material for the chemical industry.

Both urea and caustic soda are bulk commodities, and there are many manufacturers of both. This report lists 50 manufacturers, including about 20 major manufacturers of urea and about 30 major manufacturers of caustic soda.

From the perspective of the number of enterprises in the industry, the concentration of producers in Europe and the United States are relatively high. But in China, there are many manufacturers of urea and caustic soda. In the urea industry, although the number of manufacturers in the Chinese market has been decreasing, from 175 in 2012 to about 90 at present, the number is still huge. As far as the caustic soda industry, as of now, there are still nearly 150 caustic soda enterprises in the China market. The large number of small and medium-sized enterprises leads to low industry concentration, serious product homogeneity and fierce competition.

Global key players of Caustic Soda and Urea include Yara, OCI, CF Industries, EuroChem and Olin Corporation, etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share over 10%. Europe is the largest producer of Caustic Soda and Urea, followed by North America and China.
