At 3.6% CAGR, South & Central America Dust Control or Suppression Chemicals Market is Projected to be Worth US$ 96.34 Million by 2030, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights' research, the South & Central America dust control or suppression chemicals market was valued at US$ 72.40 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 96.34 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.6% from 2022 to 2030. Growing mining industry in Brazil and strong growth in pharmaceutical and food processing industry are among the critical factors attributed to the South & Central America dust control or suppression chemicals market expansion.
According to the World Mining Data 2022 report by the Federal Ministry of the Republic of Austria, Brazil is among the top five largest lithium-producing countries. South & Central America is a well-established mineral producer and has exploration potential in the mining sector. Government organizations and departments build mining project strategies focusing on lithium and rare earth elements, graphite, copper, and cobalt. The development potential of the mining industry in Brazil is expected to boost the demand for dust control or suppression chemicals during the forecast period. As per the Brazilian Mining Institute, IBRAM, factors such as increasing mineral sales in China, rise in prices on the international market, decrease in global mineral stocks, and increasing export earnings are driving the mining industry in Brazil.
According to the International Trade Administration, Brazil generated 62% higher revenue from the mining sector in 2021 compared to 2020. Brazil is among the top producers of iron ore, manganese, bauxite, and tantalite. The country's mining sector also includes reserves of gold, kaolin, nickel, coal, and phosphates. Further, Vale, a Rio de Janeiro-based mining company, is one of the largest iron ore producers and mining companies in Brazil. Dust emissions from open pit mines quarrying activities cause health and safety problems, as well as negatively impact productivity. Therefore, water spraying, synthetic polymeric emulsions, salts, bitumen, and oil emulsions are utilized as dust control or suppression methods. Thus, the prevalence of mining companies and the presence of metal and mineral mines in the country boost the demand for dust control or suppression chemicals in Brazil.
