Asia
In India, during the first quarter of 2026, the average ammonia price stood at around INR 39.19/KG, with prices recorded near INR 38.85/KG in January, INR 38.60/KG in February, and rising further to nearly INR 40.12/KG in March. On a quarter-on-quarter basis, prices increased by approximately ~1.5%, while January to March prices witnessed a gain of around ~3.3%. The ammonia price trend across the Asian market reflected tightening global supply conditions and rising geopolitical uncertainty during Q1’26. The quarter initially remained stable due to sufficient domestic inventories and subdued downstream demand; however, escalating Israel-Iran tensions and disruptions in Middle Eastern exports significantly impacted market sentiment during the latter half of the quarter. Higher LNG prices, increased freight charges, and constrained import availability further supported the upward pricing momentum.
Europe
Ammonia prices in Europe mimicked the global firm-to-rising trend in early 2026, driven by tightening supply and policy-led cost pressures. The implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) increased import costs, while sanctions and tariffs on Russian fertilizers led to an over 80% collapse in imports, significantly tightening availability.
The EU also proposed caps on Russian ammonia imports, further straining supply. Simultaneously, uncertainty around CBAM delayed green ammonia investments, though new developments like the India-Europe renewable ammonia offtake agreement signal efforts to diversify supply and support long-term decarbonization.
North America
Ammonia prices in the USA rose, driven by global supply disruptions and seasonal demand pressures. The escalation of the Iran conflict and subsequent blockage of the Strait of Hormuz disrupted nearly one-third of global fertilizer trade, significantly tightening nitrogen and ammonia availability. This led to notable price spikes, with ammonia prices rising globally.
Additionally, constrained exports from key producers in the Middle East and China, coupled with logistical bottlenecks and supply chain uncertainties, intensified market volatility. Domestic factors such as strong spring planting demand, limited pre-purchasing by farmers, and government scrutiny over pricing practices further shaped market dynamics.
Analyst insights
According to Procurement Resource, Global ammonia prices are expected to remain elevated in the near term due to supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions, with volatility persisting. Any easing will depend on the normalization of trade flows and improved supply availability.

Asia
The Chinese liquid ammonia market displayed notable volatility during the fourth quarter, with pricing movements reflecting shifting supply-demand dynamics. The opening period witnessed relative stability as prices stopped their earlier declining trend and entered range-bound consolidation. Supply remained at medium-high operating levels with few maintenance activities, creating oversupply conditions that kept prices subdued. Natural gas feedstock costs declined substantially, reducing production cost support for gas-based producers. Downstream demand from urea and compound fertilizer sectors remained tepid as agricultural consumption failed to meet seasonal expectations, while industrial demand maintained baseline levels without significant variation. Mid-quarter brought pronounced strengthening as supply conditions tightened due to environmental inspections affecting northern production facilities and maintenance shutdowns at multiple plants. Compound fertilizer operating rates increased, improving urea demand and supporting price appreciation. The latter portion witnessed moderation as environmental inspections concluded and maintenance-affected facilities prepared to resume operations, returning the market toward balanced supply-demand conditions with prices stabilizing at levels below mid-quarter peaks.
Meanwhile, Indian ammonia markets experienced consistent strengthening throughout the entire fourth quarter. The Rabi season, representing India's winter crop cycle, generated heightened fertilizer demand as farmers prepared fields and applied nutrients for wheat, pulses, and other winter crops. Supply-demand fundamentals tightened as domestic production struggled to fully meet elevated consumption requirements from the agricultural sector. The progressive price increases reflected this seasonal demand surge, with fertilizer manufacturers and distributors maintaining active procurement schedules to serve agricultural markets. The prices were about 448 USD/MT (CFR) in October and around 460 USD/MT in December.
Europe
European ammonia market trends closely resembled the Chinese market trends, with initial stability transitioning to mid-quarter strength before moderating toward year-end. The opening period displayed consolidation as conventional ammonia supply remained adequate. Mid-quarter brought appreciation driven by supply disruptions at major production facilities and preparations for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism implementation. The latter portion witnessed stabilization as market participants adjusted inventories ahead of regulatory changes, with prices consolidating gains achieved during the strengthening phase.
North America
North American markets mirrored Chinese and European dynamics, experiencing initial range-bound conditions followed by slight appreciation and late-quarter moderation. Supply disruptions at key production facilities created temporary tightness, supporting price increases during the middle portion. New capacity additions provided relief toward quarter-end, allowing prices to stabilize at elevated but more sustainable levels as the period concluded.
Ammonia is a colourless alkaline gas which is one of the most widely available nitrogen-containing compounds in the atmosphere. It is also known as an irritant having a characteristic pungent odour that is typically utilised at a commercial scale. Ammonia is highly miscible in water and, upon inhalation, is deposited in the upper airways.
