Calcium Ammonium Nitrate Market Report 2026

The calcium ammonium nitrate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.29 billion in 2025 to $3.49 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of agricultural productivity needs, increasing fertilizer consumption, expansion of commercial farming, demand for calcium enriched fertilizers, use in turf management.

The calcium ammonium nitrate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.37 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising global food demand, adoption of precision agriculture, growth of greenhouse farming, increasing soil nutrient deficiency awareness, expansion of specialty fertilizer markets. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for balanced nutrient fertilizers, rising adoption in high value crop cultivation, increasing use in controlled nitrogen release applications, expansion of granular and pelletized fertilizer forms, focus on safe handling and storage solutions.

The growing agricultural sector is expected to propel the growth of the calcium ammonium nitrate market going forward. Agricultural sector expansion is driven by large-scale infrastructure investments that enhance productivity, improve market access, reduce post-harvest losses, and help farmers meet rising global food demand. Calcium ammonium nitrate supports agriculture by supplying readily available nitrogen and calcium, which promote plant growth, strengthen soil structure, and boost crop yields. For example, in December 2024, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) reported that global wheat exports reached 199.1 million tonnes in 2023, an increase of 8.1 million tonnes compared to 2022. Therefore, the growing agricultural sector is driving the calcium ammonium nitrate market.

Major companies operating in the calcium ammonium nitrate market are developing innovative nitrogen-based fertilizer solutions to reduce environmental impact, improve nutrient efficiency, and meet sustainability requirements. Nitrogen fertilizers - including ammonium nitrate, urea, and calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) - are essential for enhancing crop yields, but concerns over emissions and environmental effects are encouraging the development of low-carbon alternatives. For instance, in March 2024, Argus Media, a UK-based media company, introduced the first assessments for low and zero-carbon nitrogen fertilizers. These assessments evaluate the production costs of low and zero-carbon CAN fertilizers made using blue or green ammonia, offering transparency regarding environmental impact and carbon-reduction potential. Argus Media provides global assessments across sectors such as energy, agriculture, chemicals, and fertilizers.

In July 2023, Agrofert Group, a Czech Republic-based conglomerate, acquired the nitrogen business of Borealis AG for $884 million. This acquisition strengthens Agrofert’s position in the European fertilizers market by integrating Borealis’ production facilities in Austria, Germany, and France, along with its extensive sales and distribution network. Borealis AG is an Austria-based chemical manufacturer specializing in fertilizers such as calcium ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and urea ammonium nitrate.
