They provide an effective solution for fragmenting rock masses with minimum overbreak.
The global Latin America industrial explosives Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1572 million in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.8% over the forecast period 2024-2031, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
Increasing mining sector demands
The key trend propelling the growth of the Latin America industrial explosives market is the increasing demand from the mining sector. Mining activities across countries like Brazil, Chile, and Peru are expanding significantly owing to the growing needs for metals and minerals globally. According to the World Nuclear Association, Latin America houses around 16% of global copper reserves and 6% of global gold reserves. Thus, rising mineral extraction in the region’s mining industry is augmenting the consumption of industrial explosives for excavation and extraction purposes. The growing needs of the mining sector for efficient blasting techniques are expected to drive the Latin America industrial explosives market during the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Industrial explosives are extensively used in mining, quarrying, construction and other infrastructure projects in Latin America region. The growing mining and construction activities are increasing the demand for industrial explosives.
Weakness: Strict government regulations regarding procurement, transportation and storage of industrial explosives require high compliance costs which can impact small players. Lack of trained personnel for handling explosives is also a challenge.
