簡介目錄

2025 年硝酸市場價值為 6,936 萬噸，預計從 2026 年的 7,142 萬噸成長到 2031 年的 8,266 萬噸，在預測期（2026-2031 年）內複合年成長率為 2.97%。

硝酸市場-IMG1

對低碳氨的持續投資、不斷成長的炸藥需求以及化肥需求的強勁成長繼續支撐著硝酸市場的基礎，但不斷上漲的環境監管成本和波動的天然氣價格正在重塑成本結構。隨著最佳可行技術應用環境（BAT-AEL）標準的日益嚴格，歐洲正迅速向綠色生產方式轉型，而北美則正利用藍氨計劃來增強能源安全。那些及早整合碳捕獲技術、可再生氫能和先進催化劑的公司，在商品價格波動的情況下，利潤率更具韌性。

全球硝酸市場趨勢及展望

歐洲對低碳硝酸銨肥料的需求激增

歐洲化肥生產商正轉向使用可再生氫，以滿足歐盟可再生能源指令III的要求，即到2030年，42%的氫氣原料必須來自可再生。領先成功取得綠色原料的企業受供應衝擊的影響較小，並且可以與尋求減少範圍3排放的食品零售連鎖店簽訂銷售協議。領先的生產商正透過推進大規模碳捕獲與封存（CCS）計劃來應對這項挑戰，其中Yarra公司位於Slaithkill的CCS設施預計將於2026年投入運營，屆時將顯著減少範圍1排放。這種轉型正在加深硝酸市場與歐盟氣候目標之間的聯繫，並推動綠色氨走廊地區新的合資企業的成立。

擴大聚醯胺6,6的應用以滿足歐盟汽車輕量化目標

歐盟乘用車二氧化碳排放限值（95克/公里）正推動高性能聚合物取代金屬。聚醯胺6,6可減輕高達40%的重量，從而在不犧牲結構強度的前提下提升電動車的續航里程。由於己二酸（一種硝酸衍生物）是聚醯胺6,6的關鍵前體，因此向聚醯胺6,6的轉變將增加當地對硝酸的需求。供應鏈正集中於高純度硝酸，宇部興產計畫提高電子級硝酸的產量，以滿足聚合物製造商的需求。一級汽車供應商正與硝酸生產商協調簽訂長期樹脂採購協議，以確保在更嚴格的歐7排放標準實施之前，原料的品質穩定且供應充足。

歐盟收緊N2O排放法規（BAT-AEL）將推高資本投資和營運成本。

歐盟委員會正在修訂《最佳可行技術環境標準文件》（LVIC BREF），預計將降低氧化亞氮排放標準。這將迫使老舊設施進行維修或安裝新的排放控制設備。安裝二次催化劑系統或三次裂解裝置每條生產線需要超過800萬美元的資本投資，這可能會擠壓中型工廠的利潤空間。擁有整合碳捕集與封存（CCS）技術和先進燃燒器的營運商，例如BOC有限公司的二氧化碳捕集與液化裝置，在競標長期供應合約時享有成本優勢。這種政策環境正在加速工廠關閉和資產更新，導致硝酸市場向擁有雄厚財力進行合規投資的頂級生產商集中。

細分市場分析

到2025年，弱硝酸將佔據57.45%的市場佔有率，這反映了其在肥料和中間體應用領域的廣泛用途。此細分市場受益於較低的腐蝕控制成本，並允許生產商以最小的升級改造運作單一單壓迴路。隨著歐洲強制要求使用依賴弱酸中和的控制釋放肥料，弱硝酸市場規模預計將穩定成長。

濃硝酸市佔率位居第二，受炸藥和電子產品需求成長的推動，其複合年成長率（CAGR）達到3.48%。宇部興產株式會社在山口縣等地擴建高純度生產線，旨在搶佔特種產品市場的溢價。發煙硝酸雖然屬於小眾市場，但在航太推進領域佔有重要的戰略地位。

硝酸市場按濃度（稀硝酸（低於 68%）、濃硝酸（68-98%）、煙/紅煙（高於 98%））、終端用戶行業（化肥、化學品製造、炸藥、航太、油墨、顏料和染料、其他終端用戶行業）和地區（亞太地區、北美、歐洲、南美、中東和非洲）進行細分。

區域分析

2025年，亞太地區將佔據全球硝酸市場57.60%的佔有率，年複合成長率達3.62%，主要得益於重工業、化肥使用和電子製造業的同步成長。隨著環保檢驗推動老舊設施的催化劑升級，中國持續投資於硝酸中間體。迪帕克化肥公司在印度的達赫傑計劃每年將新增45萬噸總產能，協助印度提高硝酸自給率並減少淨進口量。

在歐洲，由於能源成本高昂和排放法規嚴格，市場佔有率持續下降。更嚴格的BAT-AEL標準迫使獲利能力的生產商進行升級改造或退出市場，導致BASF和雅苒等大型綜合企​​業進行生產整合。北美則受惠於豐富的頁岩氣和正在發展的藍氨產業。 OCI位於博蒙特的工廠將建立一條低碳供應路線，並從2025年開始向墨西哥灣沿岸的硝酸和硝酸鹽工廠供貨。

南美洲持續面臨結構性氮肥短缺問題，巴西95%的需求依賴進口。隨著大豆生產商尋求出口優質認證，綠色肥料的使用正在增加。然而，匯率波動和基礎設施瓶頸限制了硝酸鹽生產能力的即時投資。

第7章 市場機會與未來展望

簡介目錄
Product Code: 69516

The Nitric Acid Market was valued at 69.36 Million tons in 2025 and estimated to grow from 71.42 Million tons in 2026 to reach 82.66 Million tons by 2031, at a CAGR of 2.97% during the forecast period (2026-2031).

Nitric Acid - Market - IMG1

Sustained investments in low-carbon ammonia, widening explosives demand, and strong fertilizer offtake continue to anchor the nitric acid market, yet rising environmental compliance costs and volatile gas prices are reshaping cost curves. Europe is moving quickly toward green production methods as BAT-AEL standards tighten, while North America leverages blue ammonia projects to improve energy security. Early movers integrating carbon capture, renewable hydrogen, and advanced catalysts are gaining margin resilience as commodity price swings intensify.

Global Nitric Acid Market Trends and Insights

Surging Demand for Low-Carbon Ammonium-Nitrate Fertilisers Across Europe

Europe's fertilizer producers are pivoting toward renewable hydrogen to satisfy the Renewable Energy Directive III requirement that 42% of hydrogen input be renewable by 2030. Early adopters with secured green feedstock face fewer supply shocks and can lock in offtake agreements with food-retail chains seeking lower scope-3 emissions. Leading producers have responded by advancing large-scale CCS projects, with Yara's 2026 Sluiskil CCS facility expected to materially lower Scope 1 emissions. The shift deepens the link between the nitric acid market and the European Union's climate targets, encouraging new joint ventures in green ammonia corridors.

Rising Adoption of Polyamide 6,6 for EU Automotive Lightweighting Targets

The EU passenger-car CO2 cap of 95 g/km is intensifying the substitution of metals with high-performance polymers. Polyamide 6,6 delivers up to 40% weight savings, improving EV range without compromising structural integrity. Because adipic acid, a nitric acid derivative, remains the main precursor, every incremental shift to polyamide 6,6 boosts regional nitric acid demand. Supply chains are refocusing on high-purity grades, prompting planned capacity additions by UBE Corporation for electronic-grade nitric acid to serve polymer producers. Automotive Tier-1 suppliers are aligning long-term resin offtake contracts with nitric acid producers to secure consistent quality and feedstock reliability ahead of stricter Euro 7 regulations.

EU BAT-AEL Tightening for N2O Emissions Raising Capex and Opex

The European Commission's ongoing revision of the LVIC BREF sets lower nitrous oxide benchmarks, compelling retrofits or new abatement installations across aging assets. Capital requirements for secondary-catalyst systems or tertiary destruction units can exceed USD 8 million per line, eroding margins on middle-aged plants. Operators with integrated CCS or advanced burners, such as BOC Limited's CO2 Recovery and Liquefaction plant, enjoy a cost advantage when bidding long-term supply contracts. The policy environment accelerates plant closures or asset swaps, consolidating the nitric acid market around top-tier producers with balance-sheet capacity for compliance investments.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Government Incentives for On-Site Weak Nitric Acid Plants in Indian Pharma Clusters
  2. Increasing Demand from Explosives Manufacturing
  3. Volatile Natural Gas Prices Squeezing Ammonia-to-Nitric-Acid Margins

Segment Analysis

Weak nitric acid commanded 57.45% of the market share in 2025, reflecting its versatility in fertilizer and intermediate applications. The segment benefits from lower corrosion management expenses, enabling producers to operate single mono-pressure loops with minimal upgrading. The nitric acid market size tied to weak grades is expected to advance steadily as Europe mandates controlled nitrate release fertilizers that rely on weak acid neutralization.

Concentrated nitric acid, accounting for the next-largest volume slice, is gaining momentum at a 3.48% CAGR on the back of rising explosives and electronics requirements. Capacity additions in high-purity lines, notably UBE's expansion in Yamaguchi Prefecture, aim to capture specialty segment premiums. Fuming nitric acid remains niche yet strategically significant for aerospace propulsion.

The Nitric Acid Market Segments the Industry by Concentration (Weak Nitric Acid (less Than or Equal To 68%), Concentrated Nitric Acid (68 To 98%), and Fuming/Red Fuming (more Than 98%)), End-User Industry (Fertilizers, Chemical Manufacturing, Explosives, Aerospace, Inks, Pigments, and Dyes, and Other End-User Industries), and Geography (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle-East and Africa).

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific commands 57.60% of the nitric acid market in 2025 and is expanding at 3.62% CAGR as heavy industry, fertilizer usage, and electronics manufacturing grow in tandem. China continues to invest in nitric-based intermediates, though environmental inspections are pushing older units toward catalytic upgrades. India's Dahej project by Deepak Fertilisers adds 450 KTPA combined capacity, lifting the country's self-reliance ratio and reducing net imports.

Europe's share continues to shrink under high energy costs and stringent emission controls. The tightening BAT-AEL limits will push marginal producers either to retrofit or exit, consolidating output among integrated giants such as BASF and Yara. North America benefits from abundant shale gas and evolving blue ammonia ventures. OCI's Beaumont facility adds a low-carbon supply corridor that feeds Gulf Coast nitric and nitrate plants from 2025.

South America remains structurally short on nitrogen, with 95% of Brazil's needs met via imports. Green-fertilizer uptake is rising as soybean producers pursue premium export certifications. However, currency volatility and infrastructure bottlenecks restrict immediate capacity investments in nitric acid.
