Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), also known as nitrochalk and nitro-limestone, refers to an inorganic chemical compound that appears white or pale yellow with a solid and granular appearance. It is prepared by adding powdered limestone or calcium nitrate to ammonium nitrate and by producing a mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which crystallizes as a hydrated double salt. Compared to conventional ammonium nitrate, it is a safer alternative, and more stable as the presence of calcium adds an agronomic advantage. It is widely used as a nitrogen fertilizer to neutralize acidic soil and provide a rich nitrogen supply for proper plant growth. Moreover, CAN finds extensive applications across various industries, including agrochemical, pharmaceuticals, explosives, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing.
Significant growth in the agriculture sector due to the escalating food demand and rising population represents the primary factor driving the global calcium ammonium nitrate market. Additionally, there has been widespread adoption of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers to enhance root health, soil fertility, and overall yield. In line with this, the growing usage of CAN as a low-scale explosive has augmented the product demand. Apart from this, since CAN is a highly hygroscopic compound that dissolves in water in an endothermic reaction, the surging product adoption for manufacturing instant cold packs is another major growth-inducing factor. Furthermore, the leading players are developing highly efficient and innovative product variants with improved nitrogen and calcium content for better crop growth and yield, which is positively influencing the market growth. Besides this, the increasing water treatment applications of CAN for removing odors from wastewater have accelerated the product adoption rate. Other factors, including the surging demand for CAN and its byproducts from end use industries, rising agricultural production, improving farming practices, technological advancements, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are also anticipated to drive the market further.
