According to a recent market research report, the global market for dust and emission control chemicals used in ore handling is projected to experience significant growth from 2026 to 2036. The expansion is expected to be driven primarily by increased mining and mineral processing activities in India, Indonesia, and Chile.
Key industry players such as Ecolab and Solenis are anticipated to play a major role in this market development. These companies specialize in providing chemical solutions that suppress dust and control emissions during the handling and transportation of ores like iron, coal, and copper.
The growth is attributed to stricter environmental regulations worldwide and the need for safer working conditions in mining operations. The Asia-Pacific region, particularly India and Indonesia, is expected to see the highest demand due to rapid industrialization and infrastructure projects.
Market analysts note that the adoption of advanced chemical formulations that are more effective and environmentally friendly is a key trend. The report emphasizes that innovation in biodegradable and non-toxic dust control agents will be crucial for sustainable growth in this sector.
