Increasing popularity of the product as a crop fertilizer on account of readiness of the nitrate to mix with the soil is expected to be a favorable factor. In addition, the product is also used for hay fertilization and pasture owing to its less susceptibility towards volatilization losses in comparison with urea-based fertilizers.
It is mixed with other fertilizers for application in agriculture industry. The fertilizer mixture has tendencies to absorb moisture if stored over a long period of time which is likely to be a challenging factor. Growing popularity of the product as a solution for foliar sprays which enables the plant to absorb essential elements through their leaves is expected to increase demand over the forecast period.

Explosives made from ammonium nitrate are used for mining and quarrying operations. They are widely used in coal mining, construction, metal mining, and construction industry owing to their high detonation velocity and water resistance properties.
Asia Pacific is likely to witness significant gains over the forecast period on account of rising consumer awareness regarding the benefits of the chemical, particularly in agricultural-oriented economies including India, Vietnam, Thailand, and China. In May 2015, the Government of India announced the National Agriculture Policy aimed at increasing domestic production. The policy is indented to introduce new crop production technology, soil health cards, easy availability of seeds and fertilizers coupled with micro irrigation facilities to farmers. Supportive government regulations and policies by India towards increasing agricultural productivity are likely to play a crucial factor in increasing demand for fertilizers, and thus, subsequently impacting the market.
