Europe Research Department Explosive Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Type, Application

The Europe research department explosive (RDX) market is expected to grow from US$ 1,483.55 million in 2019 to US$ 1,875.39 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% from 2020 to 2027. Research department explosive (RDX) is also known as hexogen, and cyclonite. It is hard and soluble in solvents such as ethanol and ether; in contrast, it is not soluble in water. The RDX manufacturing is a multistage process that includes nitration, raw materials storing and feeding, filtration, disintegration, and transport. Various manufacturers are investing comprehensively in research and development activities to build up pioneering products for empowering defense forces and meeting the ever-escalating product demand. RDX is used in the form of a blend with different substances in explosives to diminish its affectability. RDX is used in various military and other typical applications, such as fireworks and cast PBX charges. In 2019, Russia held the largest share of the European research department explosive market. The rise in demand for RDX explosives in military and civilian applications and increasing defense expenditure and rising mining activities in different countries are propelling the market in this region. Research department explosive is increasingly being used in the construction and mining industries. In the mining industry, it is being used as a high-performance explosive for rock excavation and exploration activities.

The Europe research department explosive (RDX) market, based on type, is segmented into explosives, pyrotechnics, and others. The pyrotechnics segment led the market in 2019. Pyrotechnics include signaling flares, illuminating flares, white and colored smoke generators, tracers, photo-flash, and fuse compounds. Pyrotechnics such as safety matches, oxygen candles, fasteners, and explosive bolts are used for entertainment purposes. Various countries conduct large-scale pyrotechnic festivals. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the research department explosive (RDX) market has experienced slow growth due to the lockdown in countries such as France, Russia, UK, Italy, Spain and Germany which resulted in less labor footfall in factories.
