Surging demand for fertilizers across the globe owing to the need to ensure food security for the ever-growing population is driving the growth of ammonium nitrate market. Improved production and high-quality yields through slow release of nitrogen in optimum amounts is encouraging the use of ammonium nitrate fertilizers. Rising concerns over food safety due to the shrinkage of arable land and unprecedented rate of food consumption will boost the product use in the agriculture sector.
On the downside, volatile prices of raw materials coupled with growing availability of substitutes such as urea, and NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) fertilizers may hamper the demand for ammonium nitrate fertilizers in the coming years. Stringent government regulations on account of hazardous and explosive nature of ammonium nitrate will further slowdown the market growth.
Based on the end user spectrum, ammonium nitrate industry is categorized into agriculture, civil construction, and mining & quarrying, wherein mining & quarrying segment is estimated to expand at 5% CAGR during the study period. Extensive use of ammonium nitrate in the production of explosives in tandem with rise in mining activities around the world, especially in U.S. and China are supporting the segment growth.
