Morocco’s OCP Group, the world’s largest producer of phosphate & phosphate-based fertilizers, has been listed this year among the leading global chemical brands in the latest “Chemicals 50” report, issued by the “Brand Finance”, the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy.
Morocco’s national phosphate champion with brand value at $ 603 million is a new entrant this year, says the report, noting that the OCP brand is supported by rising global demand for phosphate-based fertilizers, the company’s continued investment in expanding production capacity and strengthening its international footprint.
OCP controls between 68 and 70% of the world’s phosphate rock reserves and holds a 31% share of the global phosphate product market. It ranks fourth worldwide in fertilizers used for agriculture, behind Nutrien, Yara and Mosaic, and ahead of ICL.
German BASF company has maintained its top position as the world’s most valuable chemicals brand followed by SABIC and Dow. The global chemicals sector enters 2026 in a fragile recovery phase, with its total brand value rising 1% to $ 83.3 billion, says the “Chemicals 50” report,
Last year, the sector’s collective brand value stood at $ 82.5 billion, following a decline from its 2024 performance ($ 83.7 billion), as margin pressures and weaker investor sentiment weighed on performance, leaving the sector just below its previous peak.
Geopolitical developments have added a further layer of uncertainty to the sector’s outlook. Recent disruptions to global energy supply, including attacks affecting liquefied natural gas infrastructure in the Middle East in March 2026, have highlighted the vulnerability of feedstock supply chains.
