Liquid Ammonia market rises from US$59.71 billion in 2023 to US$70.93 billion by 2030, with a 2.5% CAGR, driven by increasing demand in the downstream market.
Liquid ammonia (NH3) is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that plays a crucial role in various industries worldwide. Often referred to as the "invisible engine" of agriculture, it serves as the primary source of nitrogen for fertilizers, essential for plant growth and food production. But ammonia's applications extend far beyond agriculture, encompassing a diverse range of industrial processes.
Liquid ammonia's story begins with its chemical composition: a simple molecule consisting of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms (NH3). Despite its unassuming structure, ammonia possesses unique properties that make it valuable across various sectors. One such property is its ability to readily liquefy under moderate pressure and temperature conditions. This characteristic allows for efficient storage and transportation of ammonia in bulk quantities via pipelines or specially designed pressurized vessels. Another key property is ammonia's high solubility in water. When mixed with water, ammonia dissociates into ammonium (NH4+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions, forming a basic solution known as ammonium hydroxide. This solution also finds numerous applications in various industries.
Chemical Composition and Production:
Liquid ammonia is a simple molecule consisting of one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms (NH3). It is produced industrially through the Haber-Bosch process, which combines nitrogen from the air with hydrogen, typically derived from natural gas. The process is highly energy-intensive, and advancements in making it more efficient and sustainable are a key area of focus within the industry.
According to our publisher’s latest study, the global Liquid Ammonia market size was valued at US$ 59710 million in 2023. With growing demand in downstream market, the Liquid Ammonia is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 70930 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 2.5% during review period.
What's Inside a Bonafide Research`s industry report?
A Bonafide Research industry report provides in-depth market analysis, trends, competitive insights, and strategic recommendations to help businesses make informed decisions.
The research report highlights the growth potential of the global Liquid Ammonia market. Liquid Ammonia are expected to show stable growth in the future market. However, product differentiation, reducing costs, and supply chain optimization remain crucial for the widespread adoption of Liquid Ammonia. Market players need to invest in research and development, forge strategic partnerships, and align their offerings with evolving consumer preferences to capitalize on the immense opportunities presented by the Liquid Ammonia market.
Liquid Ammonia or Anhydrous ammonia is the compound formed by the combination of the two gaseous elements, nitrogen and hydrogen, in the proportion of one part of nitrogen to three parts of hydrogen by volume. Since one volume of nitrogen weighs fourteen times as much as one volume of hydrogen, on a weight basis, the ratio is fourteen parts of nitrogen to three parts of hydrogen, or about 82% nitrogen and 18% hydrogen.
Liquid Ammonia is a heavy liquid that has a high vapor pressure at ordinary temperatures, that causes freezing when brought into contact with the skin, that is obtained by compressing anhydrous gaseous ammonia, and that is used in refrigeration and as a solvent (as in the study of ammono compounds) and as a source of gaseous ammonia.
The world's main consumer markets are concentrated in China and Europe, accounting for more than 1/2 of the market share.
CF Industries and Nutrien are two well-known manufacturers. The market share is more than 50%.
