The global electric detonator market size is expanded rapidly in 2022 and market is expected to generate substantial revenue by 2031, exhibiting a high compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2022 to 2031.

A device sets off an explosive device. The most frequent detonators are electrical, mechanical, and chemical, with the latter being the most prevalent. The creation of safer explosives requires detonators like blasting caps. Different explosives detonate with varying quantities of energy (activation energy). Most commercial explosives contain high activation energy, making them stable and safe to handle. They won't blow up if dropped, used improperly, or exposed to fire. On the other hand, secondary explosives require a small initial detonation and are challenging to set off deliberately.

Electric detonators are commonly used in various industries, including mining, construction, and demolition, to initiate controlled explosions. They are often preferred over other types of detonators, such as safety fuses or mechanical devices, because they offer greater precision and safety. Different types of the detonators are available in the market, including non-electric initiators, shock tube initiators, and electric blasting caps. The choice of detonator depends on the type of explosive material, the required level of precision and safety, and the specific application for which it is being used.

COVID-19 Impact: Supply Chain Disruption Impeded Market Growth

the pandemic has affected the demand for explosives and detonators in various industries. For example, the mining and construction industries have been impacted by the economic slowdown caused by COVID-19, which may have led to a decrease in demand for detonators in these sectors. On the other hand, increased demand for electric detonators may have been seen in some areas, such as demolition and infrastructure projects. Overall, the impact of COVID-19 on electric detonators may have been mixed, with some companies and regions experiencing more disruptions than others. However, as the global economy recovers, the demand for this device is likely continue to rise, driven by increased infrastructure and construction projects. Different types of detonators are available in the market, including non-electric initiators, shock tube initiators, and electric blasting caps. The choice of detonator depends on the type of explosive material, the required level of precision and safety, and the specific application for which it is being used.
