Chemical & Fertiliser Exports Climb Past USD 9.4 Billion in 2025

Exports of chemical products and fertilisers reached USD 9.43 billion in 2025, marking a 7.4% increase from USD 8.78 billion in 2024, according to figures released by the Export Council for Chemical Industries and Fertilisers.

The council reported stronger performance across several product groups, particularly fertilisers, basic chemicals and intermediate chemical products. It attributed the growth to broader market diversification and continued efforts by producers to meet international quality, environmental and technical standards.

Italy ranked as the largest destination during the year, with exports valued at USD 1.284 billion, followed by Turkey at USD 1.103 billion and Brazil at USD 652 million. Other key markets included Saudi Arabia with USD 580.9 million, France with USD 479.5 million, Spain with USD 471.7 million, Libya with USD 298 million, Belgium with USD 265.4 million, Morocco with USD 251.6 million and Lebanon with USD 228.9 million. Combined exports to the ten largest markets totalled USD 5.62 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of total sector exports.

The council said export performance in 2025 was supported by trade missions abroad, hosting foreign buyer delegations and facilitating direct business-to-business meetings, alongside coordination with government entities and development partners.

For 2026, the council outlined plans to open new markets in Africa, Asia and Latin America, integrate more small and medium-sized enterprises into export activity, support sustainability and green transition requirements, increase value-added chemical products, and intensify trade missions and buyer engagement program mes.
