Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, Poland's ammonium nitrate trade showed fluctuations, with imports ranging between 34.8 million USD and 47.0 million USD and exports increasing from 8.8 million USD to 34.1 million USD. In February 2021, restrictions on the possession and use of ammonium nitrate as an explosive precursor were introduced, affecting market access and handling requirements.

Production value reached 769.0 million USD in 2022, but then fell sharply to 460.5 million USD in 2023. This decline was primarily driven by high raw material costs and supply chain disruptions following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which increased energy and input expenses for fertilizer manufacturers. The market size followed a similar pattern, dropping from 764.1 million USD in 2022 to 408.7 million USD in 2023, as export volumes surged to 95.0 million USD.

In 2024, production stabilized at 457.7 million USD, while the market size recovered to 469.6 million USD, supported by lower exports and steady imports. Throughout the period, Poland maintained its position as a leading nitrogen fertilizer producer in the EU, with significant participation from state-owned and large chemical companies in the domestic market.
