Liquid (Aqueous) - Ammonia Market Global Report 2026

The liquid (aqueous) - ammonia market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $84.12 billion in 2025 to $90.64 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The growth during the historic period was driven by increasing agricultural productivity requirements, rising fertilizer consumption, growing chemical manufacturing activities, expanding industrial wastewater treatment needs, and increasing pharmaceutical production demand.

The liquid (aqueous) - ammonia market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $120.28 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for sustainable nitrogen-based solutions, rising adoption of green ammonia technologies, expanding applications in semiconductor and electronics manufacturing, growing investments in industrial chemical infrastructure, and increasing demand for efficient water purification solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of low-carbon ammonia production technologies, growing demand for ammonia-based water treatment applications, rising utilization of aqueous ammonia in advanced chemical manufacturing processes, expanding use of high-purity ammonia solutions in specialized industries, and increasing focus on safe ammonia handling and storage technologies.

The expansion of agricultural activities is expected to propel the growth of the liquid (aqueous) ammonia market going forward. Agricultural activities involve the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock to produce food, fiber, bio-based materials, and other essential agricultural products. The expansion of agricultural activities is being driven by the increasing global demand for food production to meet the needs of a growing population. Liquid (aqueous) ammonia supports agricultural activities by serving as a key feedstock for nitrogen fertilizers that improve crop growth and enhance agricultural productivity. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an Italy-based United Nations agency, global agricultural consumption of inorganic fertilizers increased from 185 million tones in 2022 to 190 million tones in 2023, while nitrogen fertilizer consumption rose from 108 million tones to 112 million tones during the same period. Therefore, the expansion of agricultural activities is driving the growth of the liquid (aqueous) ammonia market.

The expansion of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the liquid (aqueous) ammonia market going forward. Water and wastewater treatment infrastructure includes the facilities and network systems used to treat raw water for safe consumption and to process wastewater by removing contaminants before discharge or reuse. The expansion of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure is primarily driven by rapid urbanization and population growth, which increase the demand for clean water and place greater pressure on existing systems, creating the need for expanded treatment capacity to ensure a safe water supply and efficient wastewater management. Liquid (aqueous) ammonia supports water and wastewater treatment infrastructure by regulating pH levels and providing a nitrogen source that promotes biological processes such as nitrification, enhancing the efficiency of contaminant removal. For instance, in May 2024, according to the Central Statistics Office, an Ireland-based government agency, the number of registered domestic wastewater treatment systems in Ireland increased by 1.1% to 492,359 in 2023. Therefore, the expansion of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure is driving the growth of the liquid (aqueous) ammonia market.

Major companies operating in the liquid (aqueous) ammonia market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as high-purity aqueous ammonia solutions, to strengthen their product portfolios and expand their market presence. High-purity aqueous ammonia solutions are water-based ammonia formulations with minimal impurities that are specifically produced to meet stringent quality standards for applications in pharmaceuticals, electronics, water treatment, chemical processing, and other precision industrial processes. For instance, in July 2025, Blended Products, a UK-based specialty chemical manufacturer, launched Aquamonia 245, a high-purity 24.5% aqueous ammonia (ammonium hydroxide) solution. The product was developed for applications including water treatment, chemical manufacturing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and industrial cleaning. Through this launch, the company expanded its aqueous ammonia product portfolio and increased the availability of high-purity liquid ammonia solutions for industrial customers.
