COVID-19 analysis
COVID-19 has adversely affected the Blasting Stemming Plugs Market. Many nations have implemented quarantines and lockdowns. Some of these have been indefinite. This is the case in India. Though they have had limited success in containing the spread of the virus, they’ve had a negative consequence.
Many of the raw materials needed to make blasting stem plugs are in short supply because these manufacturers have found their operations either halted or interrupted because of COVID-19 imposed quarantines and lockdowns. However, the outlook for the blasting stem plugs market looks bright in the post-COVID-19 world.
The primary driver behind blasting stems plugs amazing market growth is the fact that mining operations are experiencing phenomenal growth worldwide. The growth in the mining industry is primarily driven by greater investments in mineral exploration by global mining majors.
Many industries that use metals are also experiencing extraordinary growth. This is another secondary factor that is driving growth in the Blasting Stemming Plugs Market. For example, the automotive, electronics and electrical, and building and construction industries have been experiencing insatiable demand for many metals (these are mined from the ground!)
Breakneck (oftentimes double-digit) growth in developing economies like Peru and Botswana is presenting amazing opportunities for the blasting stems plug industry. Companies in these markets increasingly demand metals and other raw minerals that are capable of merging with the latest in technology to create innovative and useful solutions.
Concern for the environment is holding the blasting stems plug industry from realizing its true growth and potential.
Environmental groups around the world and activists (like the Swedish Greta Thunberg) have been increasingly vocal about the damage that mining operations cause to the environment. These environmentalists are putting increasing pressure on governments around the world to regulate where and how companies in the mining industry can operate.
Mining companies can overcome this challenge only by finding innovative mining solutions and practices that are environment and regulation-friendly. They often need to turn to the latest technological advancements to do this.
