Ammonia Procurement Intelligence

The ammonia category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2023 to 2030. Asia Pacific region dominated the category with more than 50% in 2022. 

According to Ammonia Energy Association, India accounts for 8% of the global production. A rise in the production of fertilizers is expected to drive the demand, as approximately 70% of this product is used to make fertilizers. Ammonia production also accounts for 1.3% of CO2 emissions, owing to which governments of various countries are focusing on adopting low-carbon ammonia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. For instance, the Government of India approved USD 2.4 billion budget for National Green Hydrogen Mission in January 2023, which aims to achieve 5 million mt/year of renewable hydrogen by 2030. To achieve net-zero emissions, various new production methods are emerging, such as electrolytic hydrogen from green ammonia.

Ammonia Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

The cost of producing ammonia may range from USD 200 – 1000/ton. Raw material, electricity, labor, manufacturing process, machinery, packaging, and transportation are the major cost components in producing the product. Prices are interconnected to the prices of feedstock i.e., natural gas. Natural gas accounts for around 70 - 80% of the total cost of production. Prices of natural gas in Western Europe and Northeast Asia were around USD 35/MMBtu in March 2022. U.S. natural gas prices were at USD 5.00/MMBtu in March 2022 as compared to USD 2.60/MMBtu in March 2021. Natural gas prices are expected to highly impact the prices of ammonia.

While sourcing for this category, it is crucial to adhere to the best practices such as cost-effectiveness on bulk purchasing, compliance with regulations, and quality of the product. Businesses should verify supplier certifications such as Low Carbon Ammonia Certification, and ISO 9001. It is essential to confirm suppliers’ compliance with regulatory bodies such as Ammonia Energy Association, USDA, and others. Businesses also look for suppliers offering cash discounts on bulk purchases. Establishing open communication channels with suppliers fosters collaboration and enables ongoing improvement of sourcing practices.
