Market Overview

The global calcium nitrate market revolves around the production and distribution of calcium nitrate, which serves as a water-soluble nitrogen fertiliser and soil amendment. The product provides nitrogen and calcium in a form that plants can absorb, resulting in improved plant development, stronger cell structure, and better crop yields. Beyond agricultural applications, calcium nitrate serves as an odor control solution in wastewater treatment, a concrete admixture that enhances setting speed and durability, and an explosive manufacturing material. The market expansion occurs because global food requirements increase, greenhouse farming expands, and the adoption of fertigation systems grows, and farmers need efficient fertiliser solutions. Urban development, together with infrastructure projects, increases demand for construction materials.

The USDA started the $700 million Regenerative Agriculture Pilot Program in January 2026 to promote soil health while decreasing the use of synthetic fertilisers. The MAHA report features the initiative, which simplifies EQIP and CSP application processes and decreases administrative work while helping farmers adopt sustainable conservation-based production methods. The agricultural sector needs advanced opportunities, which sustainable farming methods provide through their balanced nutrient management approach. The main players in the market include Yara International, EuroChem Group, and Haifa Group, which establish their market control through product development and worldwide business growth.

• The limestone with nitric acid segment dominated the market in 2024, approximately 57% and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the process type, the calcium nitrate market is divided into limestone with nitric acid, ammonium nitrate with calcium hydroxide, and limestone with nitric acid. Among these, the limestone with nitric acid segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The segment led market growth because it provides low-cost raw materials, and it uses an efficient production method that produces high calcium nitrate yields. The method ensures that industrial production maintains product standards while operating at full capacity. The segment experienced constant growth because agricultural demand, wastewater treatment needs and construction activities increased across the world.

• The fertilizer segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024, approximately 65% and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the calcium nitrate market is divided into fertilizer, water-treatment, concrete and mortars, explosives, and others. Among these, the fertilizer segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The fertilizer segment is growing due to rising global food demand, expanding agricultural activities, and increasing adoption of high-efficiency nutrient solutions. The increasing emphasis on soil health, together with precision farming practices and water-soluble fertilisers, has resulted in higher calcium nitrate consumption. The worldwide growth of this segment results from government subsidies and sustainable farming programs, and the requirement to enhance crop yield and quality.
