Global Explosives Market Report and Forecast 2023-2028

Market Outlook

According to the report by Expert Market Research (EMR), the global explosives market reached a volume of 16.58 million metric tons in 2022. Aided by the increasing demand in mining activities, construction projects, and military operations, the market is projected to further grow at a CAGR of 5.20% between 2023 and 2028.

Explosives are reactive substances that contain a large amount of potential energy that can produce an explosion, a sudden expansion of the material after the reaction. Various industries utilise explosives, including the construction, mining, and defense sectors, for various applications ranging from demolitions and excavations to controlled blasting for mining operations.

The robust demand in the mining sector is a significant driver for the global explosives market growth. The need for raw materials such as coal, minerals, and metals is growing consistently, necessitating efficient and extensive mining operations. Here, explosives are utilised to break massive volumes of earth and make the extraction of resources more efficient.

In construction, explosives are used for demolitions and to create the necessary space for infrastructural developments. As urbanisation progresses globally and infrastructural projects become more complex, the demand for explosives in the construction sector is likely to remain high.

Moreover, the defense sector utilises a range of explosive materials for various applications, including ammunition, missile systems, and tactical operations, further boosting the explosives market demand.

With the development of technology, explosives have become more sophisticated, stable, and safe. Companies are investing in R&D to produce explosives that have a minimal environmental impact and that are safer to handle, thereby meeting stringent regulations set by various governments around the world. The market is seeing a trend towards ‘green’ explosives, which have lower toxic outputs when detonated.

The Asia Pacific region holds a significant portion of the global explosives market share, driven by large-scale mining and construction activities in countries such as China, India, and Australia. Africa is also emerging as a significant market due to its extensive mineral reserves, leading to a surge in mining activities, whereas North America and Europe are mature markets with steady demand.
