Mining Explosives Consumables Market Forecast 2026-2036: Market to Reach USD 277.7 Million by 2036 at 5.5% CAGR
The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) confirmed in its 2024 annual review that member companies increased capital investment by 12% year-on-year, with a rising share allocated to operational decarbonization-including blast logistics.
As mining operators pursue productivity alongside emissions reduction, explosives suppliers are transitioning from generic bulk products toward digitally optimized, mine-specific blast solutions, where AI controls charge weight, timing, and fragmentation outcomes.

Market Momentum
The Mining Explosives Consumables Market enters 2026 at USD 162.6 million, supported by expanding surface and underground mining activity across iron ore, coal, copper, and gold operations.
Between 2028 and 2031, increasing adoption of AI-enabled blast design software and real-time detonation analytics accelerates supplier differentiation. Entering 2032 and beyond, electrified delivery vehicles, integrated digital-plus-consumable platforms, and outcome-based blast guarantees reinforce market expansion.
By 2036, the market reaches USD 277.7 million, as consumables become embedded within data-driven mining workflows rather than standalone products.

Why the Market Is Growing
The Mining Explosives Consumables Market is expanding as global miners balance blast energy optimization with stricter safety and emissions requirements.
In April 2025, Dyno Nobel began trialing what it describes as the world's first mine-ready electric Mobile Processing Unit (MPU) for explosives delivery at Fortescue's Solomon operations in Western Australia-marking a structural inflection point for zero-emission blast logistics.
Similarly, in September 2024, Orica Digital Solutions signed a strategic collaboration with Modern Chemicals Company in Saudi Arabia to integrate digital blasting technologies aligned with Vision 2030.
FMI notes that suppliers unable to bundle consumables with digital blast optimization and measurable fragmentation outcomes risk margin erosion, as miners increasingly demand performance guarantees alongside physical products.
Segment Spotlight
Type: Gas Bags Dominate Consumption
Gas bags account for approximately 65.9% of consumable demand, driven by their critical role in ventilation control, blast efficiency, and underground safety compliance.
Application: Coal Mining Leads Utilization
Coal mining represents nearly 64.9% of total market share, reflecting sustained blasting requirements across both surface and underground operations supporting global energy demand.

• Emerging non-explosive fragmentation technologies
Country Growth Outlook (2026-2036)
Australia holds the largest value share, supported by global leadership in iron ore and coal exports and the presence of major explosives suppliers. China follows, driven by large-scale infrastructure expansion and industrialization. The United States maintains steady growth through demand for coal, copper, and gold, while India records the fastest CAGR at approximately 4.0%, backed by rising mining activity in support of infrastructure development.
Competitive Landscape
The market is moderately concentrated, with Tier-I suppliers accounting for roughly 40-45% of global revenue. Competition centers on blast energy optimization, digital integration, safety performance, and emissions reduction.
Key global participants include Austin Powder, MAXAM, and Enaex, alongside regional specialists and niche providers competing on customized solutions and localized service models.
Recent developments highlight accelerating innovation: in July 2024, Austin Powder received strategic investment from American Industrial Partners to expand engineered blasting solutions worldwide.
