Market Dynamics

the gcc ammonium nitrate market outlook for 2018 to 2032 crops an optimistic outlook for the ammonium nitrate industry in the middle east. this outlook looks at the macroeconomic and socio-economic trends shaping the ammonium nitrate industry in the gulf cooperation council (gcc) countries, as well as regional trade and import patterns. the recent spate of gas discoveries across the gcc has been encouraging for the ammonium nitrate market. it creates new economic possibilities for countries such as qatar, the united arab emirates, and saudi arabia, as these countries can use their newfound gas resources to produce fertilizers and industrial chemicals. this new influx of natural gas will likely help spur the production of ammonium nitrate in the region. from a socio-economic perspective, the gcc has experienced rapid population growth in recent years, which has in turn led to an increased demand for agricultural products. this is creating a strong demand for ammonium nitrate as a fertilizer for crops, and as a fertilizer aid for animal feed. as the population continues to grow, so too will the demand for ammonium nitrate. the gcc countries are also expected to continue importing ammonium nitrate from countries such as china and turkey. this is due to the fact that these countries are able to offer more competitive prices, and they have both the infrastructure and sophistication of production techniques required to meet the increasing demand for ammonium nitrate in the region. in terms of regional trade, countries like qatar, the united arab emirates, and saudi arabia will continue to expand their presence in the global ammonium nitrate market. these gcc countries have recently signed an agreement on free trade, which has further promoted the exchange of raw materials used in the production of ammonium nitrate such as sulfur, phosphorous, and nitric acid. going forward, all indicators point towards an optimistic outlook for the gcc ammonium nitrate market from 2018 to 2032. the gas discoveries, the population growth, and the emergence of new trade agreements should create a favorable business environment for the region's ammonium nitrate industry. this will likely lead to increased domestic production, and more imported ammonium nitrate from countries such as china and turkey.
