Ammonia refers to a gas with the chemical formula of NH3, and it is a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen. The characteristics of ammonia include colourless appearance, pungent smell, and dissolution in water to offer an alkaline solution. The gas is caustic and hazardous, therefore is classified as a dangerous substance in some regions.
There is an increasing demand for ammonia in the agricultural sector, owing to its use in nitrogen fertiliser production, which is supporting the market growth of ammonia. The growing population and the rising food demands are leading to the need for nitrogen fertilisers to improve crop yield and enhance soil fertility.
There is a growing use of low-carbon hydrogen for decarbonising ammonia production, which contributes to the reduced amount of carbon dioxide released during the manufacturing process, thereby aiding the ammonia market. There is an increased adoption of ammonia as a zero-carbon fuel by the maritime sector to replace the use of fossil fuels in marine engines.
The refrigeration grade ammonia possesses several desirable characteristics, such as purity, relatively free of water and other impurities, easy availability, and inexpensive. Also, ammonia has the ability to absorb heat when it evaporates.
Additionally, the restriction on chlorine and fluorine-containing refrigerants is resulting in the rising utilisation of ammonia. Thus, its growing use as an efficient refrigerant in food preservation and air-conditioning processes is expanding the ammonia market share.
Ammonia does not contribute to ozone depletion, global warming or other environmental impacts when released into the atmosphere, therefore is considered an environmentally friendly refrigerant. It has a very limited atmospheric lifetime and so is biodegradable.
Ammonia is considered as a hazardous gas at high concentration levels. Ammonia is lighter than air and can rise in the atmosphere when leakage occurs. The inhalation of ammonia can cause burning sensations in human parts, like the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Additionally, it can result in respiratory diseases or failure.
The liquid ammonia has a low freezing point and melting point of -77 to -33 C, respectively. Thus, it is unsuitable for high temperatures and can pose experimental problems. Moreover, it tends to absorb moisture from the air and so requires seal tubes during experimentations.
The market can be divided based on type into liquid and gas. Based on end use, the market is segmented into agriculture, textile, mining, pharmaceutical, and refrigeration, among others.
The major regional markets are North America, Europe, the Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. The comprehensive EMR report provides a detailed assessment of the market on the basis of Porter's five forces model, along with giving a SWOT analysis.
The report gives an in-depth analysis of the following key players in the ammonia market, covering their competitive landscape and latest developments like mergers, acquisitions, investments and expansion plans.
The increasing use of ammonia in the agricultural sector for various purposes is supporting the market development. There is a rising injection of ammonia directly into the soil using tractor-drawn knives and shanks to place it below the soil surface and avoid its release in vapour form. It binds the air-borne nitrogen, which is an essential crop nutrient. Thus, ammonia gas plays a critical role in crop production.
Also, it is used to produce urea, a protein source in livestock feeds. Moreover, it is used as an antifungal agent on certain fruits, pre-harvest cotton defoliant, and as a preservative for storing high-moisture corn.
Ammonia is widely used in the dyeing of cotton, wool, and silk textiles. It is also employed to manufacture synthetic fibres, such as acrylic fibres as it serves as a catalyst in the production of synthetic resins. In the mining sector, ammonia is utilised to extract minerals, such as copper, molybdenum, and nickel from their ores.
Ammonia is used in the pharmaceutical sector to produce drugs which prevent the growth of bacteria and is also used in the clinical setting as a stimulant to avoid fainting. The gas can absorb a large amount of heat from the surroundings and so is used as a refrigerant gas in cold storage and other industrial applications, which is a key factor in the ammonia market development.
The expanding awareness about the importance of hygiene and cleanliness is leading to the increasing use of ammonia in many household or other cleaning products. It can also remove stains from vegetable oils and is utilised in glass cleaning solutions owing to its quick evaporation.
Liquid ammonia is a nonaqueous ionising solvent that is obtained by compressing gaseous ammonia. It has a low melting point and acts as a better solvent for organic compounds. It is safe to handle and avoids the hazards that are associated with the use of gaseous ammonia.
Gaseous ammonia is a non-flammable gas that is commonly used as a refrigerant in various applications owing to its energy efficiency and low cost.
The Asia Pacific is one of the leading markets, owing to the increasing agricultural activities and the adoption of ammonia-based fertilisers in the region. Additionally, the government initiatives to ensure green ammonia for environmentally sustainable energy security of the countries are likely to aid the ammonia market. For instance, in February 2022, the Government of India notified the Green Ammonia Policy, which is a major policy enabler for producing green ammonia using renewable sources of energy to offer clean fuel.
Meanwhile, the initiatives taken by the market players in decarbonising ammonia production facilities by 2030 are expected to aid the ammonia market expansion in Europe. In February 2021, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, along with A.P. Moller - Maersk, announced plans to establish the Power-to-X facility, Europe’s largest production facility of green ammonia. The green ammonia produced by the facility can be used as a green fertiliser by the agricultural sector and as a sustainable fuel by the shipping sector.
Yara International ASA is a chemical company based in Norway, which is one of the leading crop nutrition companies globally. It produces and distributes nitrogen-based mineral fertilisers and other industrial products.
