The Asia Pacific was the leading ammonia-producing and consuming region in 2020. China is the leading producer of the product in the region. In the forecast period of 2024-2032, the CAGR of the Asia Pacific market is expected to increase at a rate of nearly 3%, boosting the growth of India ammonia market. Ammonia is manufactured mainly from coal gasification in China, whereas it is primarily obtained from natural gas globally. China is followed by India and Indonesia in terms of industry development of the product. The capacity of the product is expected to increase dramatically globally in the coming years.
The ammonia phosphate fertilizers sector dominates the end-use sectors in the industry in India. It is considered to be a vital nitrogen source for plant growth. Ammonia consumption in India is also increased by the production of different liquid fertilizer solutions consisting of ammonium nitrate, water ammonia, and urea. The product is widely used for agricultural applications as it reacts quickly with clay particles, organic matter, free hydrogen ions, and groundwater (which inhibits the volatilization of ammonia).
