México Mercado de Amoníaco Tamaño, Participación, Tendencias y Pronóstico por Forma Física, Aplicación, Industria de Uso Final y Región, 2026-2034

Overview of the ammonia market in Mexico:

The ammonia market in Mexico reached USD 1,304.3 million in 2025. Looking ahead, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,879.4 million by 2034 , exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.02% during 2026-2034 . The market is growing due to increasing demand for fertilizers, clean energy goals, and large-scale investments in green production. Solar and hydrogen-based projects, along with government-supported industrial upgrades, are shaping a shift toward low-emission, domestically produced ammonia for agriculture and export.

Ammonia market trends in Mexico:

Increase in renewable ammonia projects

Mexico is becoming a hub for renewable ammonia production, increasingly focused on harnessing its natural energy resources to power cleaner industrial processes. The push toward low-carbon fertilizer solutions is gaining traction as both domestic policy and international demand align with sustainability goals. Ammonia production using solar energy and hydrogen is generating particular interest due to the country's enormous solar potential and the growing need for self-sufficiency in fertilizers. This trend is driven by rising agricultural demand, export opportunities, and the need to replace conventional ammonia derived from fossil fuels. In July 2024, Aslan Energy Capital acquired 35,000 hectares of land in Sonora to build a solar-powered ammonia plant. Located near the Gulf of California, the site benefits from excellent solar irradiance. Production is expected to reach 600,000 tons per year by 2028, with a second phase planned for 2030 to double capacity. This project represents a significant step forward in Mexico's energy transition. It supports the local supply of fertilizers and allows for the shipment of surplus production to the U.S., utilizing existing rail links. As new players like Aslan enter the market with renewable solutions, the shift to solar-powered ammonia production points to a long-term change in how fertilizers are produced and supplied both within and outside of Mexico.

Industrial demand drives green expansion

The ammonia market in Mexico is expanding beyond agriculture, driven by growing demand for sustainable industrial inputs and clean marine fuels. Green ammonia, produced using renewable hydrogen and electrolysis, is now a priority due to its low-emission profile and increasing relevance in global trade. This transition reflects growing pressure on industries to reduce their carbon footprint and diversify away from fossil-based ammonia. With government support and increasing investor interest, Mexico is moving quickly to increase green ammonia production and serve broader energy, shipping, and industrial applications. In December 2024, Helax, backed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, announced a $10 billion investment in an eco-friendly hydrogen and ammonia plant in Ciudad Ixtepec, located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. The project, part of Mexico's broader regional development strategy, is slated to begin operations in 2028 and aims to supply both industrial users and the marine fuels sector. The plant will be the cornerstone of Mexico's ammonia industrial infrastructure and will be developed in collaboration with federal and state governments. Its location within the Interoceanic Corridor allows for efficient logistics and export potential. As large-scale projects like Helax-Istmo take shape, the market is evolving to meet new forms of demand, while simultaneously strengthening Mexico's position in the green energy supply chain.
