Market Overview:
Ammonium Nitrate is a chemical compound with chemical formula NH4NO3, commonly utilized in explosives and fertilizers. Moreover, a commercial grade of ammonium nitrate exhibits 33.5% nitrogen, all forms of which can be utilized by plants. In addition, it is widely utilized to change the explosion rate of different explosives for instance nitroglycerin in the form ammonia dynamites, or in ammonals as an oxidizing agent is considered as one of the main component of ANFO (ammonium nitrate fuel oil) an explosive which is widely utilized in many countries. Application of ammonium nitrate is widely utilized in end use industries such as construction, mining, quarry, agriculture, and others.
Some of the prominent factors that positively influence the growth of the ammonium nitrate market are increasing population, continuous growth of agriculture sector, and increasing mining activities in emerging economies. Moreover, rising demand for industrial explosives and blasting agents is estimated to propel the growth of the market over the assessment period. Furthermore, in recent years, increase in construction sector observed on account of expansion and rebuilding of infrastructure projects has led to propel the consumption of ammonium nitrate. Moreover, increasing population along with the demand for high-quality crop has resulted in increased consumption of fertilizer which in turn is estimated to drive the demand for ammonium nitrate over the assessment period. However, stringent regulations associated with the import and export of ammonium nitrate and its usage by industries is estimated to hamper the growth of the market.
