According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the Germany ammonia market size is anticipated to reach USD 8994.7 million by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8.12% from 2025 to 2035. The ammonia market in Germany is driven by rising fertilizer demand, green ammonia projects, the growth of the hydrogen economy, industrial decarbonization objectives, the integration of renewable energy sources, and robust government backing for sustainable chemical production.

Market Overview

The Germany ammonia market size refers to the production, distribution, and consumption of ammonia used across multiple industries. Ammonia serves as a fundamental component in the manufacturing of fertilizers, various chemical products, pharmaceutical items, refrigeration systems, explosives, and wastewater treatment facilities. In Germany, increasing requirements for agricultural output and industrial chemical production, and the shift to green ammonia for hydrogen storage and low-carbon energy systems, drive market expansion and technological progress.

The German government supports the ammonia market size through the National Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to establish 10 GW of electrolyzer capacity by 2030 with €9 billion in funding. The H2Global program, which provides over €900 million, supports green ammonia imports while hydrogen import schemes, decarbonization incentives, and infrastructure investments create sustainable ammonia production and usage pathways.

BASF has launched its green ammonia production facility in Ludwigshafen using ISCC+ certification to verify its renewable energy output. Uniper and other energy firms are securing long-term green ammonia supply deals, while hydrogen-to-ammonia infrastructure and cracking tech advance domestic supply chains. The future opportunities will arise from increasing green ammonia production and developing import terminals, and establishing hydrogen economy systems for decarbonized industrial and energy operations.

Driving Factors

The ammonia market size in Germany is driven by the agricultural fertilizer demand, which continues to grow, and green ammonia adoption increases for decarbonization purposes, the hydrogen economy expands, and Germany implements its strict climate targets. The government provides support through its hydrogen strategies, subsidies, and infrastructure investments, which enable companies to expand their operations. The market continues to grow because industrial sectors use ammonia for various applications in chemicals and pharmaceuticals, energy storage, and hydrogen transportation.

Restraining Factors

The ammonia market size in Germany is mostly constrained by the fact that green ammonia production costs remain high, energy prices fluctuate, environmental laws are enforced, carbon compliance expenses must be paid, domestic hydrogen production is insufficient, and infrastructure problems exist. The market depends on ammonia and hydrogen imports to meet its large-scale needs.

Market Segmentation

The Germany 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 Germany ammonia market size 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. Because of its ease of storage and transportation, significant demand from the chemical and fertilizer sectors, extensive industrial use, and appropriateness for large-scale distribution and export applications, liquid ammonia dominates the German ammonia market.

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

The Germany ammonia market size is segmented by end use into agriculture, textile, mining, pharmaceutical, refrigeration, and others. Among these, the agriculture segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Because ammonia is widely used in fertilizer manufacture to increase crop yields, the agriculture sector dominates the German ammonia market. Sustained consumption and market expansion are fueled by a strong demand for nitrogen-based fertilizers, sophisticated farming techniques, and the need for food security.
