The Middle East & Africa dust control or suppression chemicals market was valued at US$ 312.06 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 434.72 million by 2030; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 4.2% from 2022 to 2030.
Research Related to Bio-Based Dust Suppression Agents Bolsters Middle East & Africa Dust Control or Suppression Chemicals Market
Research and development related to innovative and bio-based dust suppressants is growing rapidly. Researchers and manufacturers are evaluating the environmental impact of dust control or suppression chemicals. Several studies are also being conducted to develop dust control solutions from biodegradable feedstock. This includes organic polymers, biodegradable surfactants, or plant-based compounds. In 2021, BioBlend Renewable Resources developed EPIC EL dust suppressant, funded by the United Soybean Board and the North Dakota Soybean Council. EPIC EL dust suppressant is a soy-based dust suppressant that contains glycerin, a co-product of biodiesel production.
Several government authorities also evaluate the effectiveness of bio-based dust suppression chemicals. The United States Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) evaluated green, non-corrosive, high-performing dust suppressant technologies for updating dust and field manuals used by the Army and Department of Defense. ERDC conducted a laboratory and field study to evaluate the effectiveness of bio-sourced dust suppressants based on their ability to mitigate dust. Therefore, research related to bio-based dust suppression agents is expected to drive the dust control or suppression chemicals market.
Middle East & Africa Dust Control or Suppression Chemicals Market Overview
The countries in the Middle East & Africa are rapidly developing their public infrastructure, including airports, hospitals, and administrative buildings. The construction of the commercial infrastructure sector in the region has upsurged due to the rising tourism industry and the growing immigrant population. Dust suppressant chemicals are used to minimize the air pollution caused in the construction industry.
The report published by the Minerals Council of South Africa in 2022 revealed that the mining production in South Africa was valued at US$ 57 billion in 2021 and reached US$ 61 billion in 2022. Further, in South Africa, mining exports accounted for US$ 46.3 billion, or 24% of the country's international trade in 2022. The World Mining Data 2022 report by the Federal Ministry of the Republic of Austria revealed that Africa accounted for 889,634,740 metric ton of mineral production (excluding bauxite). The mining production rate of minerals in Africa increased by 16.2% from 2000 to 2020. Thus, the rising mining production rate is expected to boost the demand for dust suppressant chemicals across the region.
