Asia
In Asia, calcium nitrate prices showed a modest upward trend during Q3’25. The increase was mainly supported by steady agricultural demand, especially as farmers prepared for the main planting seasons. Although feedstock costs such as nitric acid were slightly lower, buying activity increased because distributors and farmers stocked up in anticipation of higher seasonal usage.
Some supply chain disruptions, influenced by ongoing geopolitical tensions, added minor pressure on availability. Overall, prices moved up moderately, driven by stronger demand and cautious buying behaviour across the region.
Europe
In Europe, calcium nitrate prices rose more noticeably in the third quarter. The market experienced supply pressures due to disruptions in production at key fertilizer facilities, which affected overall availability. Concerns about the continuation of EU sanctions on fertilizers from certain countries added uncertainty and made buyers cautious.
Demand from agricultural and horticultural sectors remained steady, with some buyers seeking to secure supplies in advance to avoid potential future shortages. Despite feedstock costs remaining relatively stable, these supply worries contributed to the upward trend in prices.
North America
In North America, calcium nitrate prices were largely stable throughout Q3’25, with only small fluctuations. Demand from farmers remained moderate, and local production was sufficient to meet market needs. While there were some concerns about trade policy and geopolitical developments affecting fertilizer imports, these had minimal impact on actual pricing. Buyers continued to focus on short-term purchases, preferring flexibility over committing to long-term contracts due to uncertainty in the broader market.
