The Mexico ammonia market size reached USD 1.30 billion in 2025. The analyst expects the market to reach USD 1.87 billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.02% during 2026-2034. The market is growing due to rising fertilizer demand, clean energy goals, and large-scale investments in green production. Solar-powered and hydrogen-based projects, along with government-backed industrial upgrades, are shaping a shift toward low-emission, domestically produced ammonia for agriculture and exports.
MEXICO AMMONIA MARKET TRENDS:
Rise in Renewable Ammonia Projects
Mexico is steadily emerging as a hub for renewable ammonia production, with a growing focus on leveraging its natural energy assets to drive cleaner industrial processes. The push toward low-carbon fertilizer solutions is gaining traction as both domestic policy and international demand align with sustainability goals. Solar and hydrogen-based ammonia production is particularly gaining interest due to the country’s vast solar potential and increasing need for fertilizer self-reliance. The trend is being driven by rising agricultural demand, export opportunities, and the need to replace conventional ammonia sourced from fossil fuels. In July 2024, Aslan Energy Capital acquired 35,000 hectares of land in Sonora to build a solar-powered ammonia plant. Positioned near the Gulf of California, the site benefits from excellent solar irradiance. Production is expected to reach 600,000 tons annually by 2028, with a second phase planned by 2030 to double capacity. This project represents a significant step forward in Mexico’s energy transition. It supports local fertilizer supply and allows surplus production to be shipped to the U.S., aided by established railway links. As new players like Aslan enter the market with renewable solutions, the shift toward solar-powered ammonia points to a long-term change in how fertilizer is produced and supplied within and beyond Mexico.
Industrial Demand Fuels Green Expansion
The ammonia market in Mexico is expanding beyond agriculture, driven by the rising demand for sustainable industrial inputs and clean marine fuels. Green ammonia, produced through renewable hydrogen and electrolysis, is now being prioritized due to its low emissions profile and growing relevance in global trade. The transition reflects increasing pressure on industries to reduce their carbon footprints and diversify away from fossil-derived ammonia. With government support and rising investor interest, Mexico is moving quickly to scale up green ammonia output and cater to wider energy, shipping, and industrial applications. In December 2024, Helax, backed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, announced a USD 10 Billion investment in a green hydrogen and ammonia plant in Ciudad Ixtepec, located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The project, part of Mexico’s broader regional development strategy, is scheduled to start operations by 2028 and aims to supply both industrial users and the marine fuel sector. The facility will serve as a cornerstone of Mexico’s industrial ammonia infrastructure, supported by collaboration across federal and state governments. Its location within the Interoceanic Corridor allows for efficient logistics and export potential. As large-scale projects like Helax-Istmo take shape, the market is evolving to meet new forms of demand while reinforcing Mexico’s position in the green energy supply chain.
