Industrial explosives, sometimes referred to as blasting explosives, are high explosives that are used extensively in construction, mining, quarrying and material harvesting applications. These explosives are composed of sensitive explosive materials like ammonium nitrate, dynamite and water gels that are formed into plastic and flexible sheets, sticks or tubes to efficiently deliver the gases rapidly upon ignition and fracturing hard surfaces. The global industrial explosives market witnesses widespread adoption in tunnels and dams construction works, coal and mineral mining, road development projects and deforestation activities.
The global industrial explosives market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.95 Bn 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 Dynamics
Increasing construction and mining activities are the key drivers propelling the growth of the global industrial explosives market. Rapid urbanization has boosted infrastructure development in emerging economies, augmented by government investments in road, rail and housing projects. Coal consumption continues to rise in power generation as well as manufacturing sectors such as cement and steel, keeping the mining industry buoyant. Furthermore, mineral mining remains pivotal for electronic devices and renewable technologies that rely on metals like copper, nickel and lithium. The need for excavating tunnels for transportation and utilities also spurs demand for controlled blasting through industrial explosives. The ongoing construction of dams, canals and reservoirs worldwide requires formidable rock fragmentation capabilities offered by these explosives.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Industrial explosives have wide applications in mining, construction, and other industrial activities. The growing infrastructure and industrial sectors are creating strong demand for explosives. Mining industries require explosives for rock excavation and extraction of minerals.
