In 2023, the importation of mixtures of ammonium nitrate with calcium carbonate or other inorganic non-fertilising substances to the US was estimated at $11 million. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in import values from $10.909 million to $10.602 million. Year-on-year variation indicates a consistent negative trend, averaging a decrease of around 0.7% annually, reflecting a slight downtrend in imports over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -0.69%, highlighting a minor reduction in imports over time.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production capabilities, alternatives to ammonium nitrate mixtures, and changes in agricultural practices that could influence demand. Additionally, monitoring regulatory changes and environmental policies regarding fertilizers will be essential as they might impact import levels significantly.
