Calcium Nitrate Market Report 2026

The calcium nitrate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $8.22 billion in 2025 to $8.64 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to agricultural fertilizer demand, construction industry growth, wastewater treatment expansion, industrial chemical usage, mining activities.

The calcium nitrate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.97 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to precision agriculture adoption, infrastructure development, urban wastewater projects, food security initiatives, fertilizer efficiency improvements. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use in specialty fertilizers, increasing application in wastewater treatment, growing demand from construction industry, expansion in explosives and pyrotechnics use, higher focus on water soluble nutrient solutions.

The rising demand for fertilizers is expected to propel the growth of the calcium nitrate market going forward. Fertilizers are substances or mixtures applied to soil, plants, or crops to supply essential nutrients required for plant growth and development. The increasing need to enhance soil fertility, boost crop yields, and support global food security is driving fertilizer demand. Calcium nitrate is a versatile fertilizer that provides both nitrogen and calcium to crops, helping improve fruit and vegetable quality. For instance, in September 2023, according to Statistics Canada, a Canada-based national statistical office, fertilizer sales in May 2023 increased by nearly one-third (29.1%) year-over-year, reaching a record monthly high of $1.8 billion. Therefore, the rising demand for fertilizers will drive the growth of the calcium nitrate market.

Major companies operating in the calcium nitrate market are developing innovative products such as water-soluble calcium fertilizers to enhance nutrient efficiency and crop uptake. Water-soluble calcium fertilizer dissolves easily in water, allowing plants to rapidly absorb calcium, which strengthens cell walls, supports plant growth, and prevents nutrient deficiencies. For instance, in January 2025, Bayer CropScience Limited, a Germany-based agrochemical company, launched Wojiarun, a new water-soluble calcium fertilizer, at an event in Hangzhou, China. Wojiarun is designed to improve crop health and nutrient efficiency, offering high solubility, stability after dilution, and complexed chelated calcium for better absorption at lower temperatures without crystallization. It contains 176 g/L of calcium, 170 g/L of nitrogen in ammonium and nitrate forms, and 3-6 g/L of essential trace elements including copper, iron, manganese, zinc, and boron, making it suitable for a wide range of crops and application needs while leading Bayer’s 2025 innovative product line in China.

In July 2024, ICL Group Ltd, an Israel-based specialty minerals company, acquired Custom Ag Formulators for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ICL aimed to expand its Growing Solutions business by increasing product diversification and strengthening its presence in the U.S. agricultural nutrition market. Custom Ag Formulators Inc. is a US-based agricultural formulation company known for providing calcium nitrate through its product Calcium X-Tra.
