Urea is used as a raw material for the manufacture materials such as urea-formaldehyde resins and urea-melamine-formaldehyde used in marine plywood. Moreover, it is commercially used to manufacture urea nitrate which is a high explosive used as a part of some improvised explosive devices.

The global urea market is growing at a significant pace owing to driving factors such as, rising agriculture production in developing countries like India, Brazil, Australia, etc. which leads to high demand for fertilizers in the agriculture industry. Urea has the highest nitrogen content as compared to other solid nitrogenous fertilizers commonly use. Therefore, it has the lowest transportation costs per unit of nitrogen nutrient which further boost the urea market. However, strict government regulation and a ban on the use of urea in Europen countries is forecast to restrict the growth of the market. For example, In Europe, the demand for urea is lowered, owing to its impact on the environment and there are alternatives to urea, which have a significantly lower impact than urea-based products.
