In 2023, Bulgaria led European ammonium nitrate exports with a 26.45% share, showing a 10.55% increase. Lithuania followed closely with a 23.87% share, increasing 4.36%. Sweden, France, and Belgium had significant shares at 14.66%, 14.14%, and 7.47%, respectively, though Belgium declined by 5.37%. Noteworthy growth includes Greece's 59.53%, Netherlands' 35.66%, and Luxembourg's 121.75%. The United Kingdom, Spain, and Poland faced declines, with Poland plummeting by 42.16%. Overall, the five-year CAGR has shown robust growth in Northern and Eastern Europe, particularly driven by Bulgaria and Lithuania, while Western Europe has remained stable.
Future trends to watch include Bulgaria's efforts to maintain leadership through investments in production capacity. Lithuania's expansion may continue if supported by technological advancements. Greece and the Netherlands should be monitored for further substantial increases, as these could suggest a reshaping of the regional export landscape. Stability in France and Sweden suggests a consistent presence, but Belgium's decreasing share highlights potential vulnerabilities or shifts. Innovations in sustainable fertilizer production might alter current export dynamics in the coming years.
