The global ammonium nitrate market size was estimated at USD 6,181.2 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 8,250.8 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2026 to 2033. Market growth is primarily driven by rising demand for high-nitrogen fertilizers to enhance agricultural productivity amid growing food security concerns.
Within the broader product landscape, products linked to the calcium and urea ammonium nitrate industry, and limestone ammonium nitrate LAN market continue to support overall demand due to their wide usage in modern farming practices. In addition, increasing mining and construction activities, particularly in developing economies, are driving product consumption for explosives applications. The global market presents strong growth opportunities, supported by the rising need for efficient and sustainable fertilizer solutions. Advances in fertilizer formulations and application technologies relevant across the urea ammonium nitrate industry and other derivatives are improving nutrient efficiency and safety. At the same time, expanding mining operations and large-scale infrastructure projects in the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Africa are expected to reinforce long-term demand for ammonium nitrate-based blasting agents, further strengthening market growth.
Despite its extensive applications, the global market faces challenges from stringent regulations related to production, storage, and transportation, driven by safety and security concerns. Environmental issues such as nitrogen runoff and groundwater contamination are also influencing usage patterns, including those associated with the limestone ammonium nitrate (LAN) market. Moreover, fluctuations in raw material prices and geopolitical instability in key producing regions can affect supply chains and pricing dynamics across the market.
