Global Octogen (HMX) Market Growth 2025-2031

Global Octogen (HMX) Market Growth 2025-2031

The global Octogen (HMX) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 23.6 million in 2025 to US$ 32.6 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2031.

Octogen (HMX), also known as octochrome, is the best explosive used in the military today. It has an eight-membered ring nitramine structure and is named "1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazacyclooctane", and its chemical name is "cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine". HMX has a slightly higher impact sensitivity than TNT, is easy to detonate, and has good stability, but its cost is relatively high. It is usually used in high-powered missile warheads, and is also used as a component of nuclear weapon detonators and solid rocket propellants. After the discovery of HMX, experts from various countries have proposed a variety of preparation methods. The most common method is to nitrate hexamethylenetetramine with concentrated nitric acid in the presence of acetic anhydride, paraformaldehyde and ammonium nitrate.

Global key octogen (HMX) players include Chemring Group, Eurenco and Austin Powder etc. The top 3 companies hold a share about 52%. North America is the largest market, and has a share about 31%, followed by Europe and China, with share 20% and 14%, separately. In terms of applications, dynamite is the largest application with a share about 58%.

As a high-performance explosive, Octojin is driven by a variety of factors in the market. The following is a detailed analysis of the driving factors of the Octojin market:
