Rock Duster Market Analysis

Product Type (High-Pressure Bulk, Bantam, Slinger, Trickle, Wet, Mine-wide Automated Dusting Systems)

The rock duster market from the wet segment is anticipated to hold a share of 30% during the forecast period. A piece of equipment known as a wet or slurry rock duster is used in mining operations to manage dust by misting surfaces in the mine with a solution of water and rock dust. The type of rock dust used, the water pressure, the flow rate of the slurry, and the distance between the nozzle and the surface being sprayed are all variables that can determine how effective a wet or slurry rock duster is. Additionally, it is anticipated that rising technical development and rising mining activity will boost market expansion in the years to come. For instance, the top 40 mining corporations in the world, which make up the great majority of the sector, generated almost 925 billion dollars in revenue in 2021.

Technology (Hydraulic, Electric, Diesel)

The hydraulic segment is anticipated to hold 46% share of the global rock duster market by 2036. Given its higher feasibility and better cooling properties, the hydraulic sector is expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. The hydraulic rock duster is also manufactured in a variety of sizes and weights to be used for optimal operation, which makes it more flexible. Moreover, the demand for Hydraulic Rock Dusting Equipment will increase as a result of an increased demand from the mining industry due to reduced noise levels, decreased vibration, and improved control.
