Industrial explosives are commonly used for construction activities involving demolition, mining and quarrying applications. These explosives are manufactured specifically for industrial applications like coal mining, metal mining, non-metal mining and quarrying. They provide a controlled and regulated method of breaking and loosening rock for excavation.
The global Industrial Explosives Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.95 Billion in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period 2024 to 2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Rapid industrialization and infrastructure development across developing regions are projected to propel the demand for industrial explosives during the forecast period. There has been significant growth in construction activities such as roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects in Asia Pacific and Middle East regions. This is anticipated to drive the utilization of industrial explosives for various applications in mining, infrastructure development and construction activities. Additionally, growing investment towards development of road networks, railways and urban infrastructure in countries like India, China, Brazil and South Africa will augment the growth of industrial explosives market over the next few years.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Industrial explosives offer a cost-effective solution for mining, construction and other industrial applications compared to traditional methods. They provide high fragmentation and material displacement abilities.
