According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the France Ammonia Market size is anticipated to reach USD 1,507.82 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.81% from 2025 to 2035. The France ammonia market is driven by rising demand from the fertilizer and agriculture sector. Growth in industrial chemicals, refrigeration, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, along with increasing focus on low-carbon and green ammonia for energy transition and hydrogen applications, further supports market expansion.

Market Overview

The France ammonia market is that industry segment that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of ammonia in France for its application in major end-use sectors such as fertilizers, chemicals, refrigeration, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and new energy applications. The market covers traditional ammonia made from natural gas along with low-carbon and green ammonia, in line with France's decarbonisation and hydrogen economy objectives.

France's embrace of the ammonia market seems to be closely related to the needs of the population, food security, and industrial demand. Being one of the biggest agricultural players in Europe, France depends on ammonia for nitrogen-based fertilizers, which are vital for the crop yields and thus a stable food supply not only for millions of people but also for agricultural exports. Besides, ammonia is a major component in the production of chemicals, refrigeration, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment, the industries that constitute the basis of France’s manufacturing economy. The mounting environmental concerns and the need to lower carbon emissions from the production of conventional fertilizers and chemicals point even more to the necessity of the change to low-carbon and green ammonia, thus making ammonia both an economic and a sustainable critical commodity.

The France government is very much engaged in backing the ammonia market via its energy, transition, and hydrogen-related policies. France has pledged under the National Hydrogen Strategy to invest in the range of €7-9 billion by 2030 in hydrogen production, infrastructure, and industrial decarbonisation, which would in turn benefit low-carbon and green ammonia projects. Besides that, the government is also supporting green hydrogen and ammonia production plants, low-carbon fertilizer factories, and port infrastructure for the facilitation of ammonia trading through grants and subsidies. These initiatives work hand in glove with EU climate regulations, carbon reduction targets, and R&D grants, thus setting a very friendly policy environment, and along with the massive government funding and incentives, clearly indicate that the France ammonia market is not only needed and important but also has a very promising long-term growth potential.

Market Segmentation

The France ammonia market share is classified into type and end use.

• The liquid segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The France ammonia market is segmented by type into liquid and gas. Among these, the liquid segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The liquid segment is growing because liquid ammonia is easier to store, transport, and handle in bulk, making it the preferred form for fertilizer production, industrial applications, and export logistics. Its wide use across agriculture and chemical manufacturing, along with increasing adoption in low-carbon and green ammonia projects, continues to support strong demand and market growth.

• The agriculture segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.

The France ammonia market is segmented by end use into agriculture, textile, mining, pharmaceutical, refrigeration, and others. Among these, the agriculture segment dominated the market in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The agriculture segment is growing because ammonia is a key raw material for nitrogen-based fertilizers, which are essential for improving crop yields and ensuring food security in France. Strong agricultural production, rising demand for high-yield crops, and continued government support for the farming sector are driving sustained fertilizer consumption, thereby boosting ammonia demand.
