According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the Italy Ammonia Market Size Is Anticipated To Reach USD 1329.1 Million By 2035, Growing At A CAGR Of 7.62% From 2025 To 2035. The ammonia market in Italy is driven by rising fertilizer demand, a robust chemical and industrial manufacturing base, growing wastewater treatment requirements, expanding refrigeration applications, and rising expenditures in green ammonia and hydrogen-based energy transition projects.

Market Overview

The Italy Ammonia Market Size includes the production, import, distribution, and utilization of ammonia across agricultural, industrial, and energy sectors. Ammonia serves as a vital component for nitrogen-based fertilizers, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, refrigeration systems, wastewater treatment, explosives, and metallurgical processes. The Italian market for ammonia has gained importance because of increasing industrial activities, intensive farming practices, and the rising use of ammonia as a hydrogen carrier in clean energy applications.

The European Commission approved a state aid program of 450 million to support renewable hydrogen production, which includes ammonia value chains, as part of Italy's clean energy and ammonia ecosystem development project that receives substantial public funding. The PNRR funding from Italy provides over 1.14 billion to support hydrogen technologies, which enables clean ammonia production and electrolyzer development and industrial decarbonization efforts that follow national and EU strategic plans.

Italian companies develop green ammonia infrastructure through Saipan’s 250million green ammonia storage project, which will begin construction in 2024, and Tecosolar's first green ammonia production facility, which they plan to build in southern Italy during 2024. The companies establish partnerships with Snam and ACWA Power to develop import-export business networks. The company will develop future business opportunities by creating green hydrogen-to-ammonia value streams and Mediterranean clean fuel distribution facilities.

Driving Factors

The Ammonia Market in Italy is driven by the Italian farmers' need for nitrogen-based fertilizers, and the country has established chemical and industrial production facilities, with increasing demand for ammonia in refrigeration and wastewater treatment applications. The market maintains its growth because of government PNRR incentives and EU decarbonization policies, and the rising investments in green ammonia and hydrogen projects, and Italy's energy trade position in the Mediterranean support market expansion.

Restraining Factors

The ammonia market in Italy is mostly constrained by the high production and energy expenses, strict environmental and safety regulations, the need for imported natural gas and ammonia, infrastructure upgrading, and the unpredictable nature of global ammonia prices, all of which restrict profitability and investment opportunities.

Market Segmentation

The Italy 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 Italy 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. Liquid ammonia functions as a major component for storing and transporting products, which it supports through its application in fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, refrigeration, and wastewater treatment. The industrial and agricultural sectors use gaseous ammonia at lower rates than they use liquid ammonia because liquid ammonia provides higher operational efficiency for their large-scale applications.

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

The Italy 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. Ammonia's widespread use in nitrogen-based fertilizers, which sustain Italy's sizable agricultural and horticultural industries, is what propels this supremacy. This sector maintains the biggest market share and continues to grow due to consistent fertilizer demand, a focus on increasing crop yields, and government backing for sustainable farming techniques.
