various developing countries increasing their demand for agriculture products for better lifestyle are driving the market. 
Furthermore, trend shift in dietary consumption in many developed regions is the factor that driving the market.
The second largest market for ammonia is pharmaceuticals sector in 2017. The sector is expanding due to, ammonia is used in 
various pharmaceuticals sectors namely from insulin’s to manufacturing drugs which inhibit the growth and multiplications of 
certain types of bacteria and others.
Refrigeration is another important application of ammonia, where it is used for cold storage, food preservation, and beverage 
production. However, modest growth in other application segments of ammonia like livestock, pharmaceuticals, plastics industry, 
paper industry, food industry, and chemicals among others, is expected to augment the demand in the near future.
Rising demand for nitrogen fertilizer owing to its advantages for application in the agricultural sector is anticipated to boost the 
ammonia market over the coming years. Some of the other major application industries of the product include household & 
industrial cleaning, food & beverage, metallurgical processes, water and wastewater treatment, rubber, pulp & paper, and 
leather.
Based on product type, ammonia market is segmented into aqueous and anhydrous types. Among these, anhydrous type is 
expected to witness largest growth over the forecast period owing to high availability in gaseous form for easy processing. In 
addition, features including low cost as compared to aqueous type will boost anhydrous segment demand in the overall ammonia 
market.
The major factors that can hold this market back is the fluctuating prices of natural gas, which is raw material required for 
ammonia. Further, the toxic nature of ammonia in its applications is a major cause for concern. However, environmentally, 
ammonia is a non-hazardous gas as it does not contribute to global warming.
