Ammonium Nitrate Market Insights

Global Ammonium Nitrate Market size was valued at USD 17.46 billion in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 18.1 billion in 2023 to USD 28.87 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.55% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

A white crystalline solid chemical substance made of ammonium and nitrate ions is known as ammonium nitrate. Due to its abundant source of nitrogen, it is frequently utilized as fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate can aggressively break down at high temperatures, which makes it useful as an explosive in the mining sector. Additionally, this substance is widely employed in food storage procedures due to its great hygroscopic character. Fertilizers containing nitrogen are frequently used in farming to promote crop development.

The segment is predicted to develop due to the rising demand for the chemical as a source of nitrogen in fertilizers. Additionally, the substance is popular as an oxidant in the production of explosives, which is predicted to boost industrial expansion.

US Ammonium Nitrate Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Based on application, the ammonium nitrate market is segmented into fertilizers, explosives, and others. Based on region, the global Ammonium nitrate market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Analysis by Product

In 2021, due to its primary usage as an oxidant in the farming sector, high-density ammonium nitrate held the major market share. Due to its exceptionally compact, non-porous, and natural form prills, HDAN is a widely supported substance in the agriculture sector and will contribute to rapid expansion. Over the following period, the global ammonium nitrate market value will increase due to the quickly expanding requirement for HDAN in agricultural activities due to rising crop yields, improved soil fertility, reduced development of vegetative mass, and rising gluten & diet composition in cereals.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Analysis by Application

In 2021, owing to increasing company expenditures in the agriculture industry globally, the fertilizers category held the largest market share and is expected to continue dominating the ammonium nitrate market over the forecast period. Ammonium nitrate is a starting ingredient in fertilizer manufacture, which helps to increase agricultural productivity. The increasing population has forced farmers to boost agricultural yields, leading to a growing demand for fertilizers and fueling the sector's expansion.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Regional Insights

In 2021, Asia Pacific had the largest share of the global market, and it is projected that it will continue to keep that position during the projected timeline. The majority of the economies in the Asia Pacific area are farming, which is projected to increase the requirement for ammonium nitrate in the region’s fertilizer industry. Higher nutritional demand is caused by the growing world population, particularly in China and India, and is then met by a concentration on modern agricultural techniques including hydroponic and rotating crops, as well as agro-forestry- forestry techniques. The ammonium nitrate market is estimated to be significantly influenced by this during the projected period.

The global ammonium nitrate market is expected to experience moderate expansion in North America over the coming years. Due to rising interest for explosives used in defense as well as the rising need for ammonium nitrate fuel, there is a huge market for ammonium nitrate. One of the factors driving this area's growth is an increase in farming activity brought on by the region's increased use of fertilizers over the projection period. Although Canada's fertilizer business has recently seen expansion, the US still serves as the region's main agricultural market.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Dynamics

Ammonium Nitrate Market Driver

  • The ammonium nitrate market has increased as a result of increasing defense spending globally. One essential component that serves as the basis for a number of explosives is ammonium nitrate. The global ammonium nitrate market has been exhibiting signs of growth across geographies, which is not surprising given that the demand for explosives and weapons is strongly correlated with a nation's military spending.
  • The global population has increased dramatically, with low- and middle-income nations leading the scene. The population is increasing in lock step with the agricultural output. The global ammonium nitrate demand in these areas has been significantly rising as a result of the usage of ammonium nitrate in fertilizers to boost the production of different farming goods and crops.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Restraint

  • Additionally listed as a fairly harmful chemical is ammonium nitrate. Due to these reasons, the ammonium nitrate market is being challenged by the state's rigorous restrictions on the management, storing, shipping, and use of ammonium nitrate.
  • A component of the well-known chemical explosive ANFO is ammonium nitrate. This explosive has been employed in improvised explosive devices in equivalent formulas. Many nations forbid its use in consumer devices because of the possibility of abuse. This is a factor that limits growth.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Competitive Landscape

A large number of customers and producers make the market fairly challenging. Leading players constantly engage in Research and development projects, capacity expansion, and regional coverage through a variety of techniques to provide their clients with top-notch outcomes. The threat from new companies is likely to be reduced by the large initial investment in plants like dryers, screeners, and recycle-slurry mixers combined with narrow profitability, which will reduce industry competition over the projected period. For instance, Ammonium nitrate, according to Enaex, is a premium blasting agent that is made specifically for explosive mixes. Additionally, it has a high potential to absorb oil.

Ammonium Nitrate Key Market Trends

  • Fertilizers are being used in the agriculture sector to boost crop life. They supply crops with the necessary minerals for optimal growth and pest resistance. Fertilizers come in a variety of forms, including aqueous, dry crystals, and time-release. One such fertilizer is ammonium nitrate, which is used to provide plants with the right amount of nitrogen. Many vegetable cultivators use ammonium nitrate, an easily accessible nitrate source for plant nutrition. Ammonium nitrate is frequently combined with other fertilizers, however, because of their propensity to soak moisture in the air, these combinations cannot be kept for extended periods of time. Therefore, the demand for solid ammonium nitrate is predicted to develop quickly throughout the projected timeline given the fast-expanding agricultural activities and the environment.
