Ammonium Nitrate Market Scope and Size by 2031
The Ammonium Nitrate Market size is projected to reach US$ 31.52 billion by 2031 from US$ 22.45 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 4.3% from 2023 to 2031.
Adoption of ammonium nitrate for the production of nitrous oxide for healthcare applications, such as analgesic in surgery and dentistry, is likely to remain key ammonium nitrate market trends.
Ammonium Nitrate Market Analysis
Ammonium nitrate is used predominantly in the mining and agriculture sectors. Ammonium nitrate is used in the mining industry as an explosive in the form of ammonium nitrate/fuel oil (ANFO) explosives. ANFO is considered a cost-effective solution and is widely used in mining operations. Utilization of high energy explosives results in efficient fragmentation of rocks. According to the World Mining Data 2022 report, the US is among the major mining countries in the world, accounting for 12.2% global share. In 2023, the US Department of Energy announced an investment of US$ 16 million for critical mineral supply chains in the US and to reduce dependency on competitors such as China. The investment aimed to support development projects of rare earth elements and critical minerals extraction in the US. Moreover, Asia Pacific marks the presence of several mineral and metal reserves, thus indicating broad potential for mining exploration activities.
Ammonium Nitrate Market Overview
Ammonium nitrate is produced by a chemical reaction of nitric acid and ammonia. It is available in dry and liquid form. Ammonium nitrate's ease of production and cost-effectiveness has stimulated its demand in the past few decades. Many manufacturers also offer medical-grade ammonium nitrate, a significant ingredient for gas used in surgery and dentistry. However, utilization and trade of ammonium nitrate is regulated worldwide, due to potential for misuse. Growing construction activities and high emphasis on enhancing crop yield is creating lucrative opportunities for the ammonium nitrate manufacturers.

Ammonium Nitrate Market Drivers and Opportunities
Growing Utilization of Ammonium Nitrate in the Agriculture to Favor Market
The rising emphasis on increasing crop yield and producing high-quality crops has boosted the demand for fertilizers. Ammonium nitrate is extensively used as fertilizer due to its high nitrogen content. Further, ammonium nitrate is fast-release fertilizer, thereby offering an advantage in cases of quick fertilization. The growing utilization of ammonium nitrate for increasing the crop yield as well as for pasture and hay fertilization, are major drivers of global ammonium nitrate market share.
Growing Mining Activities in the Emerging Economies – An Opportunity in Ammonium Nitrate Market
The demand for ammonium nitrate explosives is region-specific and depends on mining operations and mineral reserves. According to the report published by the US Geological Survey in 2022, China was the largest supplier of twenty-five non-fuel mineral commodities to several other countries in 2021. Out of twenty-five listed minerals, China produced sixteen critical minerals. Moreover, China, Tajikistan, Australia, and Vietnam accounted for major antimony mine production and reserves. In addition, according to the International Trade Administration, Saudi Arabia’s untapped mineral reserves accounted for US$ 1.3 trillion in 2021. Growing mining activities in emerging economies is expected to have a positive impact on the ammonium nitrate market, as it has an opportunity with the rising metal and mineral exploration activities.
