Urea Formaldehyde Compound Fertilizer Market, Global Outlook and Forecast 2023-2035

In Business Insights
August 30, 2025

The global Urea Formaldehyde Compound Fertilizer Market is experiencing steady expansion, with its valuation reaching USD 1.85 billion in 2024. According to comprehensive industry analysis, the market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3%, reaching approximately USD 2.47 billion by 2032. This sustained growth is primarily driven by increasing agricultural productivity demands and advancements in controlled-release fertilizer technologies, particularly in regions with high-value crop cultivation.

Urea formaldehyde compound fertilizers are gaining traction due to their nitrogen efficiency and reduced environmental impact compared to conventional fertilizers. Their unique slow-release properties make them particularly valuable for golf courses, horticulture, and precision farming applications where nutrient management is critical. As sustainability becomes a key focus in agriculture, regulatory bodies worldwide are promoting controlled-release fertilizers to minimize nitrogen leaching and runoff.
