Blasting Mats Global Market Report 2025

Blasting mats are specialized protective coverings used to contain flying debris, absorb shock waves, and lessen noise produced during blasting activities. Their primary purpose is to enhance safety by controlling the spread of blast fragments, thereby safeguarding nearby personnel, infrastructure, and equipment. Additionally, blasting mats support regulatory compliance efforts by limiting environmental impacts such as dust and vibrations.

The main types of blasting mats include wire, chain-link, rubber, and fiber. Wire blasting mats, made from interwoven galvanized steel cables, are heavy-duty solutions designed to withstand high-impact forces and control blast debris. These mats are produced in various sizes, ranging from small to large, and may be either reusable or single-use. Their applications span across multiple sectors, including mining, construction, and quarrying, and they are utilized by various end users such as the mining and quarrying industry, construction and infrastructure firms, demolition and remediation services, the oil and gas sector, and military and defense agencies.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the construction sector, particularly in materials procurement and project costs. Higher duties on imported steel, aluminum, lumber, and machinery have driven up expenses for builders, contractors, and infrastructure developers, leading to increased project bids and delayed timelines. Construction equipment manufacturers face similar challenges, with tariffs on essential components and raw materials inflating production costs and squeezing margins. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in international markets have curtailed exports of U.S.-made construction equipment and materials, further affecting profitability. The sector must now prioritize local sourcing, modular construction techniques, and supply chain diversification to control costs and ensure project viability amid ongoing trade uncertainties.

The blasting mats market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The blasting mats market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.26 billion in 2024 to $1.35 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing focus on worker safety regulations, a rise in urban construction and demolition activities, increasing awareness of environmental protection, growth of open-pit mining operations, and adoption of controlled blasting techniques.

The blasting mats market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.77 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. Factors contributing to this growth include a surge in underground mining operations, rising renewable energy projects that require site preparation, increased government funding in transport infrastructure, growing interest in reusable and sustainable blast protection technologies, and broader privatization in the mining industry. Prominent trends expected during this forecast period are the use of recycled materials like tires in mat manufacturing, the creation of lightweight composite mats, automated systems for deploying and retrieving mats, innovations in noise-dampening materials, and improvements in modular and interlocking mat configurations.

The rise in mining activities is expected to propel the growth of the blasting mats market going forward. Mining projects refer to the activities and developments involved in discovering, evaluating, developing, and extracting mineral resources from the earth. The rise in mining projects is increasing due to rising demand for critical minerals, as industries require a stable and expanding supply of resources such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements. Blasting mats are used in mining for containing flying debris during controlled explosions, ensuring the safety of workers and nearby infrastructure, minimizing environmental impacts such as dust and noise pollution, complying with regulatory standards, and maintaining operational efficiency by enabling precise and secure blasting operations. For instance, in January 2025, according to the United States Geological Survey, a US-based scientific government agency, US metal mine production was valued at $33.5 billion in 2024, reflecting a slight increase from $33 billion in 2023. Therefore, the rising mining activities drive the growth of the blasting mats market.

Leading players in the blasting mats market are increasingly implementing innovative strategies, such as transforming used tires into eco-friendly mats, to reduce waste and lower emissions from transport. This involves converting scrap tires that are no longer suitable for road use into usable material by cutting and shredding. The extracted rubber, mainly from passenger and truck tires, is layered and bonded to produce durable mats capable of withstanding high impacts and debris from blasting activities. For example, in January 2025, Divert NS, a non-profit organization based in Canada, partnered with Halifax Construction & Debris Recycling Ltd., a Canadian waste management firm, to launch a facility for manufacturing blasting mats using scrap highway truck tires. The project aims to enhance environmental sustainability and encourage local material sourcing in Atlantic Canada. Halifax C&D received $95,750 through the Value-Added Manufacturing Funding Program to help build the facility, which will allow the company to repurpose over 1,500 tonnes of waste tires each year into high-performance blasting mats.

In February 2023, Environmental 360 Solutions Inc., a US-based environmental services provider, acquired Dynamat Inc. and Best Blasting Mat Inc. to expand its offerings. Through this acquisition, E360S aimed to boost its capabilities in reusing old tires and broaden its environmental services by leveraging Dynamat's proficiency in producing blasting mats and other recycled rubber items. This move aligns with the company's mission to support circular economy initiatives. Best Blasting Mat Inc., a US-based firm, manufactures durable blasting mats made from recycled tires for use in construction, mining, and demolition industries.
