Industrial explosives are hazardous blasting explosives primarily used in the mining, quarrying, and construction industry. When initiated efficiently, it rapidly gets converted into gases at high pressure and temperature. This process of initiation of industrial explosives is known as detonation and leads to rock fragmentation. One liter of explosive can expand up to 1,000 liters with in milli seconds, and can attain a temperature range of 1500-4000°C.Industrial explosives can blast a larger amount of area as compared to conventional mechanical drills when deployed for the same task, there by reducing excavation time and saving labor costs. The choice of industrial explosive for a particular task depends on some major parameters, which include velocity of detonation (VOD), detonation pressure, effective energy, density, water resistance, sensitivity, and storage life.
Rise indemand for earth minerals, such as bauxite, iron ore, coal, and rare earth metals, including gold and silver, which are present inside the earth crust, is a key driver of the global industrial explosives market growth. Moreover, increase in use of industrial explosives in the construction industry for tunneling and other applications along with inclination of construction professionals toward the use of industrial explosives to save time & labor costs is fueling the growth of the market.Furthermore, initiatives by governments of various economies to tap rich underground mineral resources to achieve higher GDP aids in boosting the market growth. Currently, the global industrial explosives market has witnessed vivid opportunities due to upsurge in mining activities, especially in developing economies across the globe.
However, fluctuation in prices of ammonia and implementation of stringent regulations on the storage & transportation of industrial explosives are expected to act as major restraints of the global market. Moreover, high in itial costs required for the manufacture of industrial explosives are some of the key factors hampering the market growth.
