Latin America Industrial Explosives Market

An explosive refers to a reactive substance that is comprised of a vast amount of potential energy that can produce a massive explosion if released suddenly. There are three classes of namely low explosives, industrial explosives, and military explosives. Industrial explosives find applications in mining such as metal mining, quarrying, and non-metal mining and in construction such as tunneling and blasting older buildings for reconstructions. It is usually accompanied by light, sound, and pressure. The process of initiation of explosives is termed as detonation. One unit of explosives when initiated can expand up to 1,000 units within several milliseconds creating high pressure in the blasthole and gaining temperatures ranging from 1,500°C to 4,000°C and an approximate velocity of 2,500–8,000 meters/second.  Major uses of explosives are in fireworks, mining, blasting rock masses for tunneling, construction activities, quarrying, hydroelectric power projects, military wars, mineral extraction, and the oil & gas industry, to name a few.

In 2021, Latin America Industrial Explosive is estimated to reach US$ 1,172.7 Million in terms of value.
