The dimethyl urea market is expanding rapidly, driven by rising demand from pharmaceuticals
Published 22 November 2025

The Dimethyl Urea Market Size was valued at 800 USD Million in 2024. The Dimethyl Urea Market is expected to grow from 800 USD Million in 2025 to 1,500 USD Million by 2035. The Dimethyl Urea Market CAGR (growth rate) is expected to be around 5.9% during the forecast period (2025 - 2035).The dimethyl urea market is experiencing significant growth worldwide, supported by the rising demand for high-performance chemicals across multiple industries, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, resins, adhesives, and personal care. Known for its stability, solubility, and versatility, dimethyl urea (DMU) plays a critical role in several chemical formulations. With industries shifting toward advanced materials and specialized chemical ingredients, this market is poised for steady expansion over the coming years.

Growing Industrial Applications Driving Market Expansion

One of the primary factors boosting the dimethyl urea market is its broad application scope. DMU is widely used in:

  1. Pharmaceutical Formulations

Dimethyl urea serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds. It is valued for its compatibility and safety profile in formulations. As global pharmaceutical production rises—especially in generics and specialty drugs—the demand for DMU continues to surge.

  1. Agrochemicals and Crop Protection

With growing emphasis on food security and agricultural productivity, agrochemical manufacturers are increasingly adopting DMU as a raw material to produce fertilizers, controlled-release formulations, and pesticide intermediates. This trend is expected to drive market growth consistently.

  1. Resins, Coatings, and Adhesives

Dimethyl urea is also a key component in urea-formaldehyde resins, which are extensively used in furniture, plywood, laminates, coatings, and industrial adhesives. The rapid expansion of the construction and furniture industries contributes to rising demand for DMU-based resins.

  1. Personal Care and Cosmetic Products

In cosmetic formulations, dimethyl urea is used as a conditioning agent and stabilizer. The booming beauty and personal care sector, especially in Asia-Pacific, is further pushing the market forward.
