Ammonia gas (NH3) is a colorless, pungent gas consisting of nitrogen and hydrogen that serves as an important raw material for fertilizer production, refrigeration, chemical manufacturing, and emission control systems. Ammonia water, also known as aqueous ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, is a solution formed by dissolving ammonia gas in water and is widely used as a cleaning agent, pH regulator, chemical intermediate, and reagent in water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and various industrial manufacturing applications.
The primary types of ammonia gas and ammonia water include anhydrous ammonia gas and aqueous ammonia water. Anhydrous ammonia gas refers to pure ammonia in gaseous or liquefied form without water content, widely used as a nitrogen source and industrial feedstock in manufacturing, refrigeration, and chemical processing. These products find application in fertilizers, industrial synthesis, refrigeration, power generation, metal treatment, nitrogen oxides reduction, and others, serving end-use industries including agriculture, chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage industry, mining industry, and water treatment industry.
Tariffs are influencing the ammonia gas and ammonia water market by increasing the cost of imported raw materials, processing equipment, storage systems, and chemical handling infrastructure required for ammonia production and distribution. The impact is affecting fertilizer manufacturers, chemical producers, refrigeration suppliers, and industrial users, particularly in regions dependent on imports such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. Ammonia gas production equipment, specialty grades, and industrial application segments are most affected due to global supply chain dependencies. However, tariffs are also encouraging domestic ammonia production, regional sourcing strategies, and investments in local chemical manufacturing capabilities, improving long-term supply chain stability.
The ammonia gas and ammonia water market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides ammonia gas and ammonia water market statistics, including ammonia gas and ammonia water industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a ammonia gas and ammonia water market share, detailed ammonia gas and ammonia water market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the ammonia gas and ammonia water industry. This ammonia gas and ammonia water market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The ammonia gas and ammonia water market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $78.4 billion in 2025 to $83.98 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing fertilizer consumption, rising agricultural productivity requirements, growing chemical manufacturing activities, expanding industrial refrigeration applications, and increasing demand for nitrogen-based compounds.
The ammonia gas and ammonia water market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $108.81 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of green ammonia solutions, increasing demand for ammonia in the hydrogen economy, rising investments in sustainable chemical production, expanding emission reduction initiatives, and increasing demand for high-purity ammonia in advanced industries. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of green ammonia production technologies, rising integration of digital monitoring systems in ammonia facilities, growing focus on sustainable ammonia supply chains, expanding automated chemical manufacturing processes, and increasing deployment of advanced emission control solutions.
The increasing demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture is expected to drive the growth of the ammonia gas and ammonia water market going forward. Nitrogen-based fertilizers are agricultural inputs that provide essential nitrogen nutrients required for plant growth and improved crop yields. The demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture is increasing due to the need to enhance crop productivity to meet growing food requirements from an expanding population. Ammonia gas and ammonia water support the production and use of nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture by serving as key raw materials for fertilizer manufacturing and supplying readily available nitrogen for agricultural applications. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization, an Italy-based UN agency, nitrogen fertilizer use increased by 32%, reaching 112 million tonnes (Mt) in 2023. Therefore, the increasing global demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers in agriculture is driving the growth of the ammonia gas and ammonia water market.
Major companies operating in the ammonia gas and ammonia water market are focusing on renewable ammonia production solutions, such as renewable hydrogen-based ammonia manufacturing, to reduce carbon emissions, improve sustainability, and support the transition toward low-carbon fertilizer production. Renewable hydrogen-based ammonia manufacturing uses hydrogen generated from renewable electricity through water electrolysis instead of fossil fuel-derived hydrogen, enabling the production of low-emission ammonia for agricultural and industrial applications. For instance, in June 2024, Yara International ASA, a Norway-based fertilizer and chemical company, officially opened its renewable hydrogen plant at Heroya, Norway, enabling the production of renewable hydrogen and ammonia. The facility produces renewable ammonia for manufacturing low-carbon fertilizers by integrating water electrolysis powered by renewable energy into the ammonia production process. It replaces conventional fossil-based hydrogen with renewable hydrogen, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions while supporting sustainable ammonia production and advancing the decarbonization of the fertilizer industry.
In October 2024, Woodside Energy Group Ltd., an Australia-based energy company, acquired OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Woodside Energy aims to establish an early-mover position in the growing lower-carbon ammonia sector and expand its portfolio of lower-carbon energy products. OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V. is a Netherlands-based clean ammonia company that developed the Beaumont project, an ammonia production facility designed to incorporate auto-thermal reforming and carbon capture technology to produce lower-carbon ammonia.
