The IMF's April 2026 Regional Economic Outlook highlights the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz to global oil, helium, sulfur, ammonia and petrochemical feedstock flows. Chemical procurement teams can use this multilateral data to strengthen supply chain risk assessments and executive decision making.


Three large DAP and MAP vessels have successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, the longest‑held choke point in global fertilizer shipping. This milestone marks the first tangible evidence of a rebound in physical phosphate supplies after years of volatility. Industry analysts now see a clearer path toward balanced fertilizer markets.

Gulf exports have recovered significantly during H1 2026, yet hundreds of vessels remain anchored across the region. This backlog highlights why chemical buyers should expect a gradual logistics recovery rather than an immediate return to normal shipping conditions.

Ammonia availability in Q3 2026 is rebounding, shifting power back to sellers. Indian buyers, once dominant in phosphoric acid pricing, now face tighter margins and less bargaining room. Learn how supply dynamics reshape fertilizer procurement strategies.

Green ammonia projects across the Gulf have been delayed following the Hormuz crisis, pushing major timelines into 2027–2028. For long-term hydrogen buyers, the disruption strengthens the case for diversifying supply beyond the Gulf into Europe, Africa, and Australia.
