The forecast for nitric acid production in the US, concerning nitrogen content, indicates a slight decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.39 million metric tons in 2024, the production is projected to decrease gradually to 1.37 million metric tons by 2028. Comparing year-on-year variations, there is a 0.72% decrease expected from 2025 to 2026 and a similar 0.72% decline from 2027 to 2028, assuming 2023 values were slightly higher than in 2024. As data from 2023 is not provided, these changes suggest a gradual reduction over the specified period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential influences of environmental regulations on the production process.
Advancements in production technology that may impact efficiency and costs.
Shifts in demand from industries reliant on nitric acid, such as agriculture for fertilizer and manufacturing sectors.
Economic factors that could affect overall production and exports.
