CF CF Industries is mentioned as part of a joint venture to manufacture zero-carbon ammonia, indicating involvement in a growing and potentially lucrative segment of the ammonia market. NTR Nutrien is mentioned for its involvement in Saskatchewan's potash and nitrogen operations, which are key to North America's significant ammonia production and export capacity, suggesting a positive outlook.

Ammonia Market Size to Skyrocket USD 182.60 Billion by 2035; Growth Driven by Rising Fertilizer Demand and Low-Carbon Energy Applications | SNS Insider Austin, Aug. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to SNS Insider, The Ammonia Market was valued at USD 99.70 Billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 182.60 Billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 6.24% from 2026 to 2035.

The ammonia having chemical formula of NH3 is one of the most industrially manufactured chemicals in the world, which has the global production capacity of more than 200 million metric tons by the year 2025. Approximately 70-80 percent of the ammonia manufactured globally is consumed in the production of fertilizers with nitrogen, which includes urea, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium phosphates. The joint venture between CF Industries, JERA, and Mitsui has been established by the year 2025 to manufacture zero-carbon ammonia worth USD 4 billion.

Rising food demand and energy transition demand underpin steady growth

The rise in the world’s population to 9.7 billion by 2050 is the underlying cause of agricultural ammonia requirements, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations projecting that food production has to be increased by 50% between 2012 and 2050. The nitrogen fertilizers derived from ammonia are still crucial in meeting this food production objective, but the energy transition introduces a whole new dimension of demand, considering that ammonia can function as a hydrogen vector in maritime transport and as a co-firing fuel in electricity generation.

Market Segmentation

By Form: The market share of Anhydrous Ammonia was at about 59.80% in 2025, being 82 percent pure nitrogen with the lowest cost per unit of nitrogen application among all diluted alternatives. The aqueous ammonia is increasingly demanded for its applications in industries where it is used as a substitute for man-made refrigerants in the food and pharmacy industries.

By Grade: Agricultural/Fertilizer Grade held the largest market share of more than 42.00% in 2025 on the back of structural demand for urea, ammonium nitrate, and compound NPK fertilizer production. The Green/Low-Carbon Grade is witnessing rapid growth owing to increased renewable hydrogen adoption and supply agreements with Asian power plants buyers.

By Source: Natural gas-based Grey Ammonia was leading the market in 2025, owing to the cost competitiveness of natural gas feedstock used in traditional plants. The fastest growing type of Ammonia in 2025 was the Green Ammonia segment due to above average CAGR on account of increasing renewable power capacity and export-oriented projects.

By Application: The fertilizers application captured approximately 42.00% of market share in 2025 as agriculture sector utilized 78.76% of ammonia volume on account of increasing number of crops under irrigation system and enhanced crop yield. Power Generation is the highest growth application for ammonia at a CAGR of 5.87% led by coal co-firing projects of Japan and South Korea.

Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific occupied 49.00% market share of the overall market in 2025 due to the fact that China was the world's biggest producer and consumer of ammonia, depending much on coal gasification technology for its production. It goes through a continuous transformation process as Japan and South Korea move away from their own ammonia production towards importing green and blue ammonia for co-firing purposes in the power sector, driven by increased demand for fertilizers in India.

The size of Europe's ammonia market was estimated at USD 19.94 Billion in 2025 and projected to increase to USD 35.00 Billion by 2035 at an approximate CAGR of 5.90% during 2026-2035 and hold about 20.0% of the global market share. Europe's ammonia market has experienced disruptions in production economics as a result of the energy crisis in 2022, with many producers reducing their capacity, however, German firm BASF continues to produce in its ammonia complex in Ludwigshafen.

North America generated 20.00% of global ammonia revenues in 2025 owing to the US which accounts for 84.73% of North America's regional revenue through significant production capacities. North America is making significant investments in blue and green ammonia production capacities for export purposes, with help from the agriculture sector of Canada and the Saskatchewan potash and nitrogen operations of Nutrien.
