China remains a dominant force in the global ammonia market, driven by strong agricultural needs and large-scale fertiliser production.

Supported by robust domestic industrial demand, low-cost feedstock, and state-backed investment, the country is expected to maintain its position as both the world’s largest producer and consumer, accord-ing to GlobalData.

The firm’s latest report projects China will account for roughly one-third of global ammonia production by 2030.

Beyond agriculture, ammonia demand is reinforced by wide industrial applications, including nitric acid production and emissions-control systems.

China’s vast industrial base, spanning steel, textiles, electronics, and construction, continues to underpin sustained high ammonia output and broader manufacturing growth.
