Ammonia Market Dynamics Segments and Supply Demand By 2025

The global ammonia market size was worth USD 48.65 billion in 2016. The rising demand for ammonia in the fertilizer industry is expected to boost the industry growth. The product is also the building block for the world nitrogen industry.
Ammonia is a colorless and highly irritating with a sharp suffocating odor gas. It easily dissolves in water and forms an ammonium hydroxide solution. The solution can cause burns and irritation. The gas can be easily compressed, which forms a colorless & clear liquid under pressure. It is usually transported in steel cylinders in the form of compressed liquid. Moreover, it is not highly combustible but may explode when exposed to high heat.
U.S. ammonia market
The U.S. market was valued at USD 5.76 billion in 2016 and is predicted to ascend at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2017 to 2025. The country is among the major producers of the product. Globally, the demand & supply ratio of the product is anticipated to move toward surplus, as the capacity addition is continuing to outpace consumption, resulting in declining utilization rates. This capacity addition is mostly increasing in the regions where the production cost is low and availability of the raw material, i.e. natural gas is high, especially in the Middle East and the U.S.
Commercially, it is manufactured by the Haber-Bosch process. The process involves direct reaction between elemental nitrogen & hydrogen in the presence of high temperature, catalyst, and elevated temperature. Several types of catalysis can be used in the process such as iron oxide, aluminum oxide, and magnesium oxide. In the laboratory, it is synthesized by the hydrolysis of a metal nitride.
