Ammonium Nitrate Market: Information by Application (Explosives, Fertilizers), End User (Construction, Mining, Quarry, Agriculture), and Regional Outlook—Forecast Till 2026

Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound that remains solid at standard pressure and room temperature. It is primarily used as a nitrogen fertilizer and thus, the ammonium nitrate market is expected to grow in tandem with the fertilizer industry, which in turn is dependent upon the agriculture industry, globally. Additionally, ammonium nitrate registers high demand in explosive manufacturing as an oxidizing agent, which is projected to further foster market growth in the future.

The ammonium nitrate market has been witnessing considerable growth and is expected to retain this growth momentum during the forecast period, 2019–2026, owing to growing construction activities, increasing consumption of explosives, and growing defense sector. Additionally, population growth alongside the increasing demand for quality food produce in limited arable land are compelling farmers to increase crop yield, which in turn has been accelerating the demand for fertilizers and subsequently, ammonium nitrate.

The global ammonium nitrate market was valued at USD 17 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach a value of USD 25 billion by 2026, with a CAGR of 4.94% during the forecast period, 2019–2026.

By application, explosive segment witness high growth in the ammonium nitrate market owing to rising mining, and querying activities which has led to a rise in the demand for civil explosive. According to the Queensland government, around 99% of ammonium nitrate is used as an explosive for mining operation. Additionally, Ammonium nitrate is also used in military applications as an explosive in combination with nitro compounds. Growing use of ammonium nitrate in the mining industry and in military applications as an explosive is expected to contribute to market growth during the forecast period, 2016–2026.

By end user, the ammonium nitrate market can be segmented into mining, construction, quarry and agriculture. The agriculture segment is expected to hold a prominent share of the global ammonium nitrate market during the forecast period, 2016–2026, as agriculture is a major user of ammonium nitrate in the form of fertilizers, which are used to add essential nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, calcium and others to the soil to maximize crop yield. Growing use of fertilizers in agriculture, owing to decreasing soil fertility, increasing food demand and uncertain climate change is expected to upsurge the demand for fertilizers and in turn, augment market growth in years to come. According to the International Fertilizer Association, the global fertilizer demand was pegged at 186 Mt in 2016/17 and it is projected to reach 200 Mt by 2019/20, which indicates the potential demand for ammonium nitrate.
