North America Mining Explosives Market

At 3.5% CAGR, the North America Mining Explosives Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 2,555.03 Million by 2030, Says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights' research, the North America mining explosives market was valued at US$ 2,006.55 in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2,555.03 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.5% from 2023 to 2030. Increasing utilization of pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and increasing application of ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil) in mining industry are among the critical factors attributed to the North America mining explosives market expansion.

Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN) is a high-performance explosive widely used in various industries, including mining. Efficient fragmentation of rock formation is essential in mining to maximize ore or mineral recovery and minimize waste. PETN is known for its high explosive power and sensitivity, making it effective for blasting and fragmenting hard rock formation. It generates a rapid release of energy upon detonation, resulting in efficient fragmentation and excavation of mineral deposits during mining operations. PETN can be manufactured in various forms, including granules, prills, and castings, allowing flexibility and customization to meet specific mining requirements. Different formulation grain sizes can be tailored to match the geological conditions, rock properties, and desired blasting outcomes in different mining operations.

Further, PETN has favorable safety characteristics compared to some other high explosives. It has a relatively low sensitivity to shock and friction, reducing the risk of accidental detonations during handling, transportation, and storage. The inherent stability of PETN makes it a preferred choice for mining operations where safety is paramount. In addition, PETN is considered to have a lower environmental impact than other explosives. It has a relatively low level of toxic emissions and a reduced carbon footprint during production and use. The mining industry is increasingly focused on sustainable practices and minimizing environmental impact. Due to all these factors, demand for PETN is expected to increase, which would boost the North America mining explosives market growth in the coming years.

On the contrary, stringent government regulations hamper the growth North America mining explosives market.

Based on type, the North America mining explosives market is bifurcated into trinitrotoluene (TNT), ANFO, RDX, pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and others. The ANFO segment held 77.0% share of the North America mining explosives market in 2023, amassing US$ 1,544.50 million. It is projected to garner US$ 1,988.99 million by 2030 to expand at 3.7% CAGR during 2023–2030.

In terms of application, the North America mining explosives market is bifurcated into quarrying and non-metal mining, metal mining, and coal mining. The coal mining segment held 52.9% share of the North America mining explosives market in 2023, amassing US$ 1,061.98 million. It is projected to garner US$ 1,349.95 million by 2030 to expand at 3.5% CAGR during 2023–2030.

Based on country, the North America mining explosives market is categorized into US, Canada, and Mexico. The US held 79.3% share of North America market in 2023, amassing US$ 1,590.45 million. It is projected to garner US$ 2,037.24 million by 2030 to expand at 3.6% CAGR during 2023–2030.

Key players operating in the North America mining explosives market are Orica Limited, Dyno Nobel, NOF Corporation, Hanwha Group, Solar Group, Omnia Group Company, and Sasol Ltd, among others.
