Asia is set to drive capacity growth in the global ammonia industry from planned and announced projects between 2020 and 2024, contributing around 27% of the global growth by 2024, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

The company’s report, ‘Global Ammonia Industry Outlook to 2024 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Forecasts with Details of All Active and Planned Plants’, reveals that Asia is expected to have a new-build and expansion ammonia capacity of 12.49 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) from 23 planned and announced projects. Out of these, 18 are planned projects and the remaining are announced projects.
