Market Insights and Analyst View:

In heavy industries that generate large quantities of dust, such as fugitive dust to larger-sized dust particles, dust control and dust suppression are very important. Using dust control or dust suppression methods is very important as dust can cause extreme personal health and environmental issues If it is not controlled. It also poses an explosion threat. For effective dust suppression and dust control, there are various methods and equipment used. Different dust control or suppression chemicals are lignin sulfonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, asphalt emulsions, oil emulsions, polymeric emulsions, sodium chloride, enzymes, acids, specialty products, and many others. Dust control or suppression chemicals find application in many industries, such as mining, construction, oil & gas, food & beverage, textile, glass & ceramics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, metal processing, chemicals, woodworking, and power generation. Mining, oil & gas, and construction are among the major industries for dust control or suppression chemicals. In the mining industry, both surface and underground mining operations generate dust during the extraction and processing of minerals.

Growth Drivers and Challenges:

The major factor driving the global dust control or suppression chemicals market growth is the growing mining and oil & gas industry. According to the International Trade Administration, Brazil generated 62% higher revenue from the mining sector in 2021 compared to 2020. Brazil is among the top producers of iron ore, manganese, bauxite, and tantalite. The country's mining sector also includes reserves of gold, kaolin, nickel, coal, and phosphates. Further, Vale, a Rio de Janeiro-based mining company, is one of the largest iron ore producers and mining companies in Brazil.

The Middle East has many oil-producing countries, with the presence of the largest oil producers in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the UAE. Saudi Arabia possesses nearly 17% of the world's proven petroleum reserves, according to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The oil & gas sector of Saudi Arabia accounts for ~50% of gross domestic product and ~70% of export earnings. In the UAE, nearly 30% of the country's GDP is directly based on oil and gas output. A huge demand for dust control or suppression chemicals in these countries is due to the strong presence of the oil & gas industry. In addition, to meet rising energy demand due to the booming population, various oil-producing companies are spending more on increasing oil production, further creating demand for dust control or suppression chemicals.

The availability of alternatives in the market is constantly rising, which is further expected to restrain the dust control or suppression chemicals market growth. Several alternatives, such as water and vegetable oil, are available in the market. Water is the most effective and eco-friendly dust suppressant. However, the application of water as a dust suppressant can be challenging in areas with limited water resources. Several dust suppressant alternatives are more environmentally friendly than conventional dust control chemicals. There is also scope for internal substitution in the market. For instance, calcium magnesium acetate is used to attract moisture to the surface of soil, which helps to prevent dust generation. Calcium magnesium acetate is a cost-effective and less corrosive dust control solution compared to sodium chloride.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on chemical type, the dust control or suppression chemicals market is segmented into lignin sulfonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, asphalt emulsions, oil emulsions, polymeric emulsions, and others. The calcium chloride segment held a significant market share in 2022, and the market for the segment is expected to grow significantly from 2022 to 2030. Calcium chloride is extensively used to control dust on unpaved roads and construction sites. It can also be used to control dust in indoor environments such as warehouses and factories. Dry calcium chloride can be applied to surfaces using a spreader truck or manually. It is also applied in liquid form to the road surface using a water truck or spray bar. The calcium chloride solution penetrates the surface when sprayed on the road and binds the dust particles. Lignin sulfonate is also one of the major chemical types in the market. Lignin sulfonate is a natural polymer derived from wood pulp and is used as a dust suppression chemical. Lignin sulfonate is mixed with water and applied to dusty surfaces, such as unpaved roads and construction sites. It binds with fine particles and helps them weigh down, reducing suspended dust particles. Lignin sulfonate is an environment-friendly option compared to synthetic dust control agents. Lignin sulfonate is also cost-effective compared to other dust control alternatives, making it an economical choice for several industries. It helps to stabilize loose soils and gravel, enhancing the overall stability of surfaces.
