Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) is an inorganic fertilizer that provides essential nutrients for plant growth, supplying both calcium and nitrogen. It typically contains about 8% calcium and 21%-27% nitrogen. Due to its hygroscopic and endothermic properties, it is used in agriculture and instant cold packs, and requires careful handling.
The main types of calcium ammonium nitrate on the market include those with 27% nitrogen content, 15.5% nitrogen content, and other variations. Calcium ammonium nitrate with 27% nitrogen is used as a nitrogenous fertilizer to enhance soil fertility and increase crop yields. It is available in various grades, including standard grade and granular or pelletized forms, and comes in both liquid and solid formats. Its applications cover a range of uses, such as inorganic fertilizers, concrete, explosives, ice packs, clear-water drilling, and additives, serving industries such as agriculture, nurseries and greenhouses, and turf management and landscaping.

The calcium ammonium nitrate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.97 billion in 2023 to $3.15 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increased demand from the agricultural sector, a rise in food demand, a surge in government subsidies and support, and growing concerns about environmental impact.
The calcium ammonium nitrate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expanding agricultural exports, the impact of climate change, a growing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices, and increased use of medical cold packs. Key trends expected during this period include technological integration, the adoption of customized fertilizer solutions, advancements in farming techniques and fertilizer formulations, and improvements in supply chain logistics.
The expanding agricultural sector is projected to drive growth in the calcium ammonium nitrate market. This growth is fueled by significant investments in agricultural infrastructure, which enhance productivity, market access, and reduce post-harvest losses, thereby helping farmers meet the increasing global food demand. Calcium ammonium nitrate benefits the agricultural industry by providing a readily available source of nitrogen and calcium, which supports plant growth, improves soil structure, and boosts crop yields. For example, the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK-based government department, reported in July 2023 that the productivity of the UK's agricultural sector increased by 3.4% from 2021 to 2022. Additionally, total crop output rose by 1.7% in 2022, with oilseed rape and barley production growing by 39% and 12%, respectively. This growth in the agricultural sector is driving the demand for calcium ammonium nitrate.
Key companies in the calcium ammonium nitrate market are expanding their product offerings with integrated crop nutrition systems, such as calcium nitrate-compatible fertilizers, to reduce costs and improve outcomes for growers. These fertilizers optimize nutrient absorption, enhance soil fertility, and provide a balanced supply of essential nutrients, leading to healthier plants and increased crop yields. For instance, in April 2021, FBSciences, a US-based biotechnology firm, launched three new calcium nitrate-compatible fertilizers, CopCAN Soil CN Compatible, PhotoCAN Soil CN Compatible, and FlexCAN Soil CN Compatible. These fertilizers are designed to work effectively with other calcium nitrate and calcium ammonium nitrate products, such as YaraLiva CAN-17 and CN-9, improving nutrient uptake, plant health, and the efficiency of fertilizer applications.
In July 2023, Agrofert Group, a Czech Republic-based conglomerate, acquired the nitrogen business of Borealis AG for $884 million. This acquisition enhances Agrofert's capabilities in the European fertilizers market by integrating Borealis' production assets in Austria, Germany, and France, along with its extensive sales and distribution network. Borealis AG, an Austria-based chemical manufacturer, specializes in producing a variety of fertilizers, including calcium ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, and urea ammonium nitrate.
