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.
In recent years, the mining industry has witnessed considerable growth on account of increasing global demand for various earthen minerals, which is likely to propel growth of the global ammonium nitrate market over the estimated period. Moreover, rapidly increasing construction activities due to huge investment in infrastructural development around the globe is anticipated to boost demand for the product. However, the major factor anticipated to hamper growth of the market is the stringent government regulations imposed by regulatory bodies.
