Product Features: Highly Efficient and Environmentally Friendly, Dual-Fertilizer
Calcium ammonium nitrate is a compound fertilizer with the chemical formula 5Ca(NO₃)₂·NH₄NO₃·10H₂O. It is white, round granules that are highly soluble in water, have strong hygroscopicity, and agglomeration properties. It is a new, high-efficiency compound fertilizer containing nitrogen and fast-acting calcium. It boasts rapid action and rapid nitrogen replenishment. This neutral fertilizer, with low physiological acidity, improves acidic soils without causing soil compaction. The water-soluble calcium it provides improves plant resistance to disease and stimulates the activity of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. When used in the cultivation of cash crops, flowers, fruits, and vegetables, this fertilizer can prolong flowering, promote normal root, stem, and leaf growth, and ensure bright fruit color and quality.
Market Trends and Supply and Demand
The market showed a booming trend in both supply and demand in 2025. From January to May 2025, export volume surged by 84% year-on-year. The share of the Southeast Asian market rose to 63%, with import volume growth in Vietnam and Thailand exceeding 35%. In the international market, Europe, as a traditional major producing region, still accounts for 63% of global production capacity. However, China is rapidly seizing market share by virtue of its cost advantages. It is expected that the global market scale will exceed 3 million tons in 2025.
Industry Core Competitive Advantages
1. Policy Dividends: The 14th Five-Year Plan explicitly lists high-efficiency fertilizers such as nitro-based fertilizers and water-soluble fertilizers as key development categories, requiring the proportion of new nitrogen fertilizers to increase to 25% by 2025, driving technological upgrades and green transformation in the industry.
2. Explosive Export Growth: The export volume of calcium ammonium nitrate in 2024 was 651,200 tons, with significant year-on-year growth in export value from January to May 2025. Southeast Asian and South American markets will be key sources of growth.
3. Expanding Application Scenarios: Agricultural demand for cash crops is surging, with annual usage in citrus and apple-growing areas increasing by 18%-22%. Industrial flue gas denitrification usage is expected to reach 280,000 tons in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 41%.
Trend Outlook
Amid the dual challenges of global carbon reduction and food security, calcium ammonium nitrate, with its high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low carbon footprint, has become a core growth driver for fertilizer exports overseas. The industry is characterized by steady growth in total volume and profound structural adjustments. It is estimated that the global market size will increase to 3.5 million tons at a compound growth rate of 1.7% from 2025 to 2030, and China's production capacity share will increase from 38% to 52%.
