Report Description
The ammonia market size was valued at USD 71 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 110 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2030. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand from fertilizers industry.
Ammonia is a colorless, unpleasant gas with a strong stifling odor. Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most widely manufactured industrial compound. It is utilized in industry and trade, and is found in environment and humans the naturally. Ammonia is a pioneer for nucleotide synthesis and amino acid and is vital for several organic functions. Ammonia is created in soil by bacterial activities and is part of the nitrogen cycle in the environment. Natural sources of ammonia include animal excrement, plants, and animals.
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the demand and supply of ammonia market. Lockdown across the globe, supply chain disorders, and oscillating supply of raw materials forced manufacturers to shut down production leading to unfortunate decline in market growth. Launch of vaccines to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period.

Market Segment Insights
The liquid segment dominated the market
Based on types, the market is segregated into powder, gas, and liquid. The liquid segment dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period. Growth of the segment is attributed to increased demand for the product in end-use applications. Anhydrous ammonia is the purest form of ammonia, as it contains no water molecules. It is a noxious gas that produces stifling vapors and is mostly utilized as a fertilizer. When utilized as an agricultural fertilizer, it is compressed into a colorless, transparent liquid. It is made up of one part nitrogen and three parts hydrogen. In its diluted state, the chemical can be utilized in industrial cleaning as well as in the production and synthesis of various compounds. The liquid form of ammonia is commonly used. It is crushed into a liquid and combined with various plant enhancers before being used in fertilizers.
Fertilizers segment accounted for a major market share of around 40%
On the basis of applications, the market is fragmented into textile, pharmaceuticals, refrigerants, fertilizers, and others. The fertilizers segment accounted for a major market share of around 40% in 2021. It is a significant supplier of nitrogen, which is required for plant growth. It is also utilized in the production of urea, aqua ammonia, and ammonium nitrate which are all liquid fertilizer solutions. As it reacts quickly with soil water, free hydrogen ions, organic matter, and clay particles ammonia is commonly utilized in agricultural applications. The others segment includes leather, pulp & paper, rubber, water and wastewater treatment, metallurgical processes, food & beverages, industrial & household cleaning, pharmaceuticals, and textiles. Ammonia is utilized as a refrigerant owing to its low cost, improved heat transfer qualities, compact pipe size, environmental friendliness, and high efficiency.
Asia Pacific dominated the market
In terms of regions, the market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2021. China is the major producer of ammonia in the region. Ammonia is mostly manufactured in China by coal gasification, whereas it is primarily obtained globally through natural gas. On a global scale, the industry has seen a steady decline in pricing over the last two years.
