Liquid Anhydrous Ammonia Market Global Report 2026

The liquid anhydrous ammonia market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $14.14 billion in 2025 to $15.05 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth during the historic period was driven by increasing demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers, rising agricultural productivity requirements, growing expansion of chemical manufacturing industries, increasing adoption of ammonia-based refrigeration systems, and rising consumption of industrial chemicals and intermediates.

The liquid anhydrous ammonia market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for green ammonia production pathways, increasing utilization of ammonia in hydrogen energy applications, growing investments in advanced ammonia storage infrastructure, expanding demand from emerging agricultural markets, and increasing focus on efficient nitrogen management solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for low-carbon ammonia production methods, growing adoption of advanced ammonia storage and handling systems, rising use of anhydrous ammonia as an industrial chemical feedstock, increasing development of safer ammonia transportation solutions, and growing demand for high-purity ammonia in specialized applications.

The rising global demand for fertilizers is expected to drive the growth of the liquid anhydrous ammonia market going forward. Fertilizers are nutrient-rich substances applied to soil or crops to improve plant growth, enhance soil fertility, and increase agricultural productivity. The growing global demand for fertilizers is driven by the need to maximize crop yields to meet the food requirements of an expanding global population. Liquid anhydrous ammonia supports fertilizer production by acting as a primary source of nitrogen and an essential feedstock for manufacturing nitrogen-based fertilizers used in modern agriculture. For instance, in July 2025, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), an Italy-based specialized agency of the United Nations, global agricultural demand for the three key fertilizer nutrients increased by 1.2% between 2022 and 2023, including a 2% rise in nitrogen use and a 4.4% increase in potassium use. Therefore, the rising global demand for fertilizers is driving the growth of the liquid anhydrous ammonia market.

Major companies operating in the liquid anhydrous ammonia market are focusing on advancing production and handling technologies, such as marine ammonia fuel supply units, to improve the safe storage, transportation, and utilization of liquid anhydrous ammonia while supporting its adoption as a low-carbon marine fuel. A marine ammonia fuel supply unit is an onboard system designed to safely store, condition, and deliver liquid anhydrous ammonia from storage tanks to a ship’s engine or fuel cell. For instance, in February 2024, Wärtsilä Oyj Abp, a Finland-based manufacturing company, introduced the Ammonia Fuel Supply System (AFSS) to improve the safe storage, conditioning, and delivery of liquid anhydrous ammonia for marine propulsion, supporting the maritime industry's transition toward low-carbon fuel solutions. The system is engineered to safely manage both liquid and gaseous ammonia fuel through integrated fuel conditioning, transfer, and supply capabilities. The AFSS also incorporates advanced safety and automation features to ensure reliable ammonia management throughout the fuel supply process.

In September 2024, Woodside Energy Group Ltd, an Australia-based energy company, acquired OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Woodside Energy aims to expand its presence in the global low-carbon ammonia sector, strengthen its position across the ammonia value chain, and accelerate growth opportunities in emerging energy transition markets. OCI Clean Ammonia Holding B.V. is a Netherlands-based company that develops the Beaumont Clean Ammonia project in Texas, designed to produce liquid anhydrous ammonia.
