CW Research’s “Global HMX Market Report and Forecast 2022” addresses important market dynamics including a 5-year outlook (2022E-2027F) for HMX industry. This chemical is used as an explosive, propellant and blowing agent in the mining, oil and gas, and defense industries. The report includes a detailed market overview by application, end-users and participants on a regional and global level to ensure granularity and specificity required for decision-making.

HMX (cyclotetramethylene-tetranitramine or octogen), also known as a high melting point explosive, is a highly explosive nitroamine. HMX is not found in nature and is a derivative of chemical compounds, including hexamine, ammonium nitrate, nitric acid, and acetic acid, and is also used to produce RDX or cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine. Due to its high cost of production, HMX is used for defense purposes as a polymer-bonded explosive, detonator in nuclear devices, rocket fuel propellant, and as a booster charge.

This report provides an in-depth assessment of the global HMX market, its size (USD million), consumption by segment (000’ tons), key drivers, trends, and constraints. The study also covers the regulatory scenario, transportation and storage. Additionally, the report provides valuable insights on the ongoing pandemic impact on the HMX market.
