According to a research report published by Spherical Insights & Consulting, The Netherlands Ammonia Market Size Is Anticipated To Reach USD 229.1 Million By 2035, Growing At A CAGR Of 4.41% From 2025 To 2035. The ammonia market size in the Netherlands is driven by strong fertilizer demand, sophisticated chemical and petrochemical industries, port-based ammonia trade, growing wastewater treatment requirements, and growing investments in green ammonia and hydrogen transition projects.

Market Overview

The Netherlands ammonia market size encompasses all activities related to ammonia, including production and importation, storage and distribution, and industrial and agricultural consumption. Ammonia functions as a basic component in nitrogen-based fertilizers, chemical and petrochemical production, refrigeration systems, wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and hydrogen transportation for clean energy purposes. Market development in the Netherlands receives strong support from its extensive port infrastructure, advanced chemical sector, and its position as a leader in sustainable hydrogen and ammonia technologies.

The Dutch government supports the ammonia market size through programs aimed at decarbonizing industrial operations and reducing nitrogen emissions. These initiatives provide €78 million in subsidies for emission-reduction technologies, while the IMKE program has received €148 million to support climate-neutral manufacturing. In addition, the government offers grants for green hydrogen and ammonia projects. Investments at the Port of Rotterdam further establish the Netherlands as a central hub for green ammonia production.

In 2025, the Port of Rotterdam and AM Green signed an agreement to build a green fuel corridor capable of handling up to 1 million tons of green ammonia annually, increasing both trade activities and clean fuel production. The Netherlands is expected to see increased sustainable ammonia production capacity through green hydrogen-to-ammonia cracking projects and electrolyzer investments, which will strengthen essential production and distribution systems.

Market Segmentation

The Netherlands ammonia market share is classified into chemical form and end use.

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

The Netherlands ammonia market size is segmented by chemical form into anhydrous ammonia, and aqueous ammonia. Among these, the anhydrous ammonia segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the fact that anhydrous ammonia is more effective for industrial applications, chemical synthesis, and fertilizer manufacture due to its increased nitrogen content. Large-scale operations are supported by its ease of handling, storage, and bulk transportation, which leads to the highest revenue share and consistent market growth over aqueous ammonia.

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

The Netherlands ammonia market size is segmented by end use into agriculture & fertilizers, textiles & pharmaceuticals, explosives, refrigeration, and others. Among these, the agriculture & fertilizers segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Ammonia's vital function as a nitrogen source in fertilizer production, which sustains the Netherlands' intense agricultural sector and food export economy, is the reason for this dominance. This sector has the biggest market share and is expected to develop steadily due to government incentives for sustainable agriculture, sophisticated agricultural techniques, and steady fertilizer consumption.
