Why Urea, Sulfur & Bitumen Remain Vital for Industrial Growth in 2025

While fuels like EN590 diesel and Jet Fuel A1 dominate petroleum trading, industrial commodities such as urea, sulfur, and bitumen play a critical role in agriculture, infrastructure, and manufacturing.

In 2025, demand for these commodities continues to rise due to:

• Global food security challenges → more fertilizer needed
• Infrastructure booms in developing countries → more road construction materials
• Industrial production growth → more chemical inputs required

Here’s why these products remain essential—and how buyers can secure reliable supply.

Urea: Essential for Global Agriculture

What it is:

• A high-nitrogen fertilizer containing 46% nitrogen
• Widely used to boost soil fertility and crop yields

Why demand is increasing:

• Rising population → higher food production needs
• Affordable compared to other nitrogen fertilizers
• Used in Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to reduce vehicle emissions

How it’s traded:

• Supplied in prilled or granular form
• Pricing linked to Middle East and Black Sea benchmarks
• Major supply hubs → Qatar, UAE, Russia

Sulfur: The Backbone of the Chemical Industry

What it is:

• A byproduct of oil refining and gas processing
• Used in fertilizers, rubber processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals

Why demand is increasing:

• Growing fertilizer industry (sulfur is used to produce phosphate fertilizers)
• Expanding chemical manufacturing in Asia & Africa
• Needed for sulfuric acid production, essential in multiple industries

How it’s traded:

• Shipped in granular or lump form
• Commonly loaded FOB Middle East or Central Asia

Bitumen: Driving Infrastructure Development

What it is:

• A viscous hydrocarbon used mainly for road construction, roofing, and waterproofing

Why demand is increasing:

• Rapid urbanization in Africa & Asia
• Major government spending on roads & highways
• Strong need for industrial waterproofing materials

How it’s traded:

• Packaged in drums or bulk form
• Common bitumen grades → 40/50, 60/70, 80/100 penetration

The Strategic Role of These Commodities

While fuels power industries, urea, sulfur, and bitumen build the foundation for economic growth:

• Urea feeds agriculture → ensures food supply
• Sulfur feeds chemicals → drives manufacturing
• Bitumen feeds infrastructure → enables transport and logistics
