Market Insight

In the mining industry, explosives play a crucial role in fracturing rock formations. The process involves drilling holes and detonating explosives in rounds, with short delays between shots. Although the explosive used has low power, some of the later shots in a round may fail to detonate and instead undergo deflagration. Despite this risk, blasting remains the most cost-effective way to extract minerals from the earth, leading to reduced costs for a wide range of consumer goods, including electricity, sand, gravel, concrete, aluminum, and copper. Blasting is particularly useful in coal mines, where it allows for the efficient extraction of both rock and coal. However, safety is of utmost importance when working in underground environments, as there is always a risk of encountering flammable atmospheres that could ignite from the explosive force. To minimize this risk, many mines now use ANFO, which is a type of explosive that is pound for pound as powerful as dynamite, yet less expensive and less sensitive to initiation. As a result, ANFO is a safer option for mining operations.

In the GCC region mining explosives industry’s growth prospects are positive as most of the countries are looking to diversify their economies by focusing on the mining industry. The rising industrial development and early adoption of new technology in the region are driving the growth of the market. Mining resource extraction is leading to industrial development, giving way to new markets. Moreover, the expansion in the construction industry is supporting the rising consumption of metals which further propels the growth of the market. Increasing demand for residential, and commercial buildings is expanding the construction sector which further, boosts the mining explosive market. However, the strict regulation related to environmental protection may hamper the growth of the market. Although, the development of modern technology is providing growth opportunities to the market.
