The dust control or suppression chemicals market size is expected to grow from US$ 1,212.12 million in 2022 to US$ 1,675.13 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 4.1% from 2022 to 2030.

Dust control and dust suppression are very important in heavy industries that generate large quantities of dust, such as fugitive dust to larger-sized dust particles. Dust can create extreme personal health and environmental issues if it is not controlled. There are various methods and equipment used for effective dust suppression and dust control in many industries. Different dust control or suppression chemicals are lignin sulfonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, asphalt emulsions, oil emulsions, polymeric emulsions, and many others. Dust control or suppression chemicals find application in many industries, such as mining, construction, oil and gas, food and beverage, textile, glass and ceramics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, metal processing, chemicals, woodworking, and power generation. The major factors driving Brazil's dust control or suppression chemicals market growth are the rising demand for dust control or suppression chemicals from the construction industry and the growing mining industry in Brazil. Further, the strong growth in the pharmaceuticals and food processing industry in the country is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for market growth.

Based on the end-use industry, the global dust control or suppression chemicals market is segmented into mining, construction, oil and gas, food and beverage, textile, glass and ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and others. The dust control or suppression chemicals market share for the mining segment was recorded to be the largest in 2022. Dust suppression in mining operations offers several benefits, such as improved air quality, reduced environmental impact, increased equipment lifespan, and overall mining safety. Water spray systems, suppression chemicals, misting systems, and ventilation systems are among the several dust control or suppression systems widely used in mining operations. Further, dust control or suppression chemicals are highly used in the glass and ceramics industry. Several operations, such as material handling, cutting, grinding, and polishing, lead to dust formation. Dust control or suppression chemicals are used in the glass and ceramics industry to create a safe working environment for workers by minimizing dust exposure. Hydraulic press dust collection systems, tile-cutting dust collectors, and dedusting systems are utilized in the glass and ceramics industry. Accumulated dust can damage machinery and equipment, leading to increased maintenance costs and downtime. Dust control atomization system creates fine mist and fog that disperse and suppress dust particles. Sprinklers are also used to spray water and other dust-suppression chemicals in the glass and ceramics industry.
