Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Hungarian aqueous ammonia market volume expanded from 2.2 thousand tons to 3.1 thousand tons, while market value rose from $1.8 million to $2.0 million in 2019 before easing to $1.9 million in 2020. This growth was supported by steady household demand for 5% ammonium hydroxide and the product's alkaline properties, which maintained its use in agriculture, water treatment, and industrial applications. State-owned Nitrogén Művek ZRT. remained a key supplier, and distributors like Donauchem Kft. ensured availability through bulk tanker, container, and cylinder packaging, with storage rules requiring water seals to minimize evaporation.

After 2020, trade flows show imports reaching 4.3 thousand tons in 2021 and peaking at 8.8 thousand tons in 2024, while exports varied, hitting 4.9 thousand tons in 2025. The regulatory environment stayed stable, with the safety data sheet for 25% ammonia solution reaffirmed in June 2021 and decree 28/2004 continuing to govern ammonia‑ammonium nitrogen discharge limits, ensuring consistent market operations without major reported shifts.
