Which Key Factors Will Influence Industrial Explosives Market Growth Over 2025-2034?
The increasing mining activities are expected to propel the growth of the industrial explosives market going forward. Mining activities refer to the processes of extracting valuable minerals, ores, and other geological materials from the earth, typically through surface or underground methods. Mining activities are rising due to increasing global demand for critical minerals used in clean energy technologies, which is driving exploration and extraction efforts across new regions. Industrial explosives enable efficient rock fragmentation, allowing mining operations to access valuable minerals more quickly and cost-effectively. For instance, in January 2025, the United States Geological Survey, a US-based scientific government agency, reported that US metal mine production was valued at $33.5 billion in 2024, reflecting an increase from $33 billion in 2023. Therefore, increasing mining activities are driving the growth of the industrial explosives market.
