According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The China Ammonia Market Size is Anticipated to Reach USD 3.49 Billion by 2035, Growing at a CAGR of 6.04% from 2025 to 2035. The Ammonia market in China is driven by fertilizer demand, which drives agricultural growth, chemical industry expansion, green ammonia adoption, energy transition programs, industrial development, and government backing for sustainable production.

Market Overview

The China Ammonia Market Size involves the large-scale production, distribution, and consumption of ammonia across agriculture, industry, and energy sectors. Ammonia serves mainly as the essential chemical component in fertilizer production, which helps maintain food security needs and functions as a base material in chemical production, pharmaceutical development, refrigeration systems, explosives, and wastewater treatment facilities. China investigates ammonia as a green energy solution and hydrogen storage method, and low-carbon industrial application because the country aims to achieve carbon reduction goals, which promote sustainable economic development.

The China Ammonia Market Size receives its strength through government programs that support green hydrogen and ammonia production under national energy transition plans. The country promotes sustainable ammonia production through industrial applications and technological development by offering subsidies that cover up to 20% of project capital expenses for renewable-based ammonia projects, agricultural support programs, and decarbonization targets.

China built the biggest green ammonia facility in the world at its Inner Mongolia site, which began operations in July 2025. The plant has an initial capacity of 320000 tons per year, which will increase to 1.5 million tons by 2028. Jilin province is developing its green ammonia distribution network through storage facilities and supply agreements. The future business potential will come from operating scalable green ammonia production facilities, increasing export capacity and maritime fuel production, and developing complete clean energy systems.
