Ammonium Nitrate prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 4.7% in Q2 2026 to USD 450.00/MT from USD 430.00/MT in Q1, tracking the elevated ammonia feedstock cost environment affecting the broader nitrogen fertilizer complex. Globally, the average rose from USD 368.65/MT in Q1 to USD 387.40/MT in Q2, a 5.1% gain. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 375.00-425.00/MT is expected, with firm agricultural fertilizer demand and mining and quarrying sector consumption for blasting applications likely to keep this market on its established upward path.
Ammonium Nitrate is produced by reacting nitric acid with ammonia, yielding a compound valued as a high-nitrogen fertilizer and, in a denser prilled form, as the oxidizing agent in ammonium nitrate and fuel oil, or ANFO, blasting agents used extensively in mining and quarrying. Its dual role across agriculture and industrial explosives means demand tracks both planting-season fertilizer procurement and mining sector activity. Ammonia and nitric acid feedstock costs, natural gas prices that underpin ammonia production, and demand from agricultural and mining and quarrying sectors are what drive prices in this market.
The outlook for Ammonium Nitrate through H2 2026 stays firm, tracking the elevated ammonia and natural gas cost environment affecting the broader nitrogen fertilizer and explosives complex. Steady agricultural demand ahead of major planting seasons, combined with consistent mining and quarrying sector consumption for blasting applications, should keep this market on a gradual upward path.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of ammonia feedstock or natural gas availability, which would push production costs higher across every region tracked in this report. The main downside risk is a slowdown in agricultural demand combined with softer mining sector activity, which would relieve some of the current price pressure.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 375.00 - 425.00 | Feedstock costs and firm demand support continued gains |
| Germany | 465.00 - 520.00 | Elevated energy costs sustain the highest regional price |
| United States | 415.00 - 460.00 | Steady agricultural and mining demand keeps this market firm |
| India | 395.00 - 440.00 | Growing fertilizer demand supports continued firming |
| Russia | 320.00 - 360.00 | Gas feedstock advantage keeps this the most affordable market |
German Ammonium Nitrate prices averaged USD 450.00/MT in Q2 2026, the highest of any region tracked here, up 4.7% from USD 430.00/MT in Q1, as elevated natural gas and ammonia feedstock costs continued supporting prices.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q2 2026 in Germany?
Elevated natural gas costs across German and broader European ammonia production facilities continued feeding directly through to finished ammonium nitrate pricing, keeping this market at the top of the range tracked in this report.
US prices averaged USD 405.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 5.2% from USD 385.00/MT in Q1, as steady demand from both agricultural and mining and quarrying sectors kept this market firm.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q2 2026 in the United States?
Steady pre-season agricultural procurement, combined with consistent demand from mining and quarrying operations for ANFO blasting applications, kept US buyers active even as feedstock costs moved higher.
Indian prices averaged USD 385.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 5.5% from USD 365.00/MT in Q1, tracking growing domestic fertilizer sector demand.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q2 2026 in India?
Growing demand from domestic fertilizer manufacturers ahead of the growing season kept Indian buyers active even as feedstock costs pushed producer offers steadily higher.
Russian export-benchmark prices, the lowest of the four regions given low-cost domestic gas feedstock, averaged USD 315.00/MT in Q2 2026, up 5.0% from USD 300.00/MT in Q1.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q2 2026 in Russia?
Low-cost domestic natural gas feedstock kept Russian producers highly export-competitive, even as global ammonia and nitric acid feedstock costs pushed prices higher across every region.
German prices rose 6.2% in Q1 2026 to USD 430.00/MT from USD 405.00/MT in Q4 2025, as energy cost pressures continued building through the quarter.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q1 2026 in Germany?
Feedstock ammonia remained a major cost driver, as ammonium nitrate production depends heavily on ammonia and nitric acid inputs, and higher natural gas and electricity costs in Germany increased production expenses more than in most other regions tracked in this report.
US prices rose 6.9% in Q1 2026 to USD 385.00/MT from USD 360.00/MT in Q4 2025, as feedstock costs and steady demand supported gains.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q1 2026 in the United States?
Demand from agricultural fertilizer applications and industrial explosives manufacturing both supported baseline consumption, while rising ammonia feedstock costs pushed producer offers steadily higher through the quarter.
Indian prices rose 7.4% in Q1 2026 to USD 365.00/MT from USD 340.00/MT in Q4 2025, tracking growing domestic fertilizer sector demand.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q1 2026 in India?
Strong demand from fertilizer producers, particularly ahead of the growing season, played a central role in supporting price gains, with rising upstream ammonia and nitric acid costs further reinforcing the upward trend.
Russian export-benchmark prices rose 7.1% in Q1 2026 to USD 300.00/MT from USD 280.00/MT in Q4 2025, tracking the broader global feedstock cost environment.
Why did the price of Ammonium Nitrate change in Q1 2026 in Russia?
Global feedstock cost pressure, tied to the broader ammonia and nitric acid market, pushed Russian export offers higher even as the country's low-cost domestic gas supply kept it the most competitive market tracked in this report.
Global Ammonium Nitrate prices dipped modestly in Q2 2025 before climbing steadily and consistently through every subsequent quarter, tracking elevated ammonia feedstock and natural gas costs alongside firm agricultural and mining sector demand across every region covered in this report.
