Rapid urbanization, increasing population, economic development, and rising industrialization are some key factors propelling the regional construction industry growth, and thus supporting APAC ammonium nitrate market growth.

High density product is effective in wet climatic conditions. It can be ascribed to the purified and non-porous state and highly dense prills. This product type also maintains the technical specification under such climatic conditions; thus, HDAN is more popular product type in the agriculture industry as compared to the other product variants. Increasing application of fertilizers in the agriculture industry will drive industry growth during the forecast timeframe.

The agriculture industry will witness around 4% CAGR in APAC ammonium nitrate market owing to the proliferating fertilizers application in the agriculture sector. The product is majorly used as a fertilizer to improve quality & augment the growth of crops. Increasing population has reduced the arable land per person in the region. Increasing population is leading to excessive food demands and thus prospering the use of fertilizers in the agriculture sector. Various government initiatives to spread awareness regarding the importance and fertilizer application in the agriculture sector will also propel the product usage. Neem Coated Urea (NCU) scheme launched by the government of India is primarily focused on controlling the usage of urea increase the nitrogen availability supplied to the crop and cost reduction of the fertilizer application. Under this scheme, farmers can improve the soil health and reduce the cost of cultivation. Government programs and initiatives to enhance the usage of fertilizer in the agriculture sector will prosper APAC ammonium nitrate market expansion in the agriculture segment during the forecast time period.
