According to a new study by Persistence Market Research, the U.S. and Canada chemical palliatives for dust suppression market is valued at US$ 238 million in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 5.1% to reach a market worth of US$ 391.9 million by the end of 2032.
Chemical palliatives for dust suppression are substances that are sprayed on the surface of a road to decrease airborne dust. For the process of suppressing the dust, liquid and powder-formed suppressants made of chemical palliatives are used to stop microscopic particles from dispersing through the air.
For many years, a range of materials and processes have been treated with chemicals as fugitive dust management methods. These chemicals wet the dust-prone materials to promote the adherence and aggregation of the dust to the bulk of the material. As a result, less dust has a chance of getting airborne. Chemical palliatives for dust suppression can be applied every few hours on a busy construction site or every few years on a site that has little activity.
Chemical palliatives exist in a variety of forms depending on the product type, such as water-absorbing, organic non-petroleum, synthetic polymer, and synthetic fluids. Both calcium chloride and magnesium chloride are hygroscopic substances that take moisture from the air to offer prolonged dust suppression, making them the two most widely utilized dust suppressant chemical palliatives.
To comply with safety, health, and environmental regulations, dust management is essential. Dust suppression techniques provide several distinct advantages and substantial gains over traditional methods. Chemical dust suppression remedies assist in safeguarding workers while simultaneously reducing site emissions.
As a result of increasing industrialization and expanding construction sites in the United States and Canada, the use of chemical solutions for dust reduction control will increase over the coming years.

Sales of chemical palliatives for dust suppression increased at a CAGR of 5% between 2017 and 2021. Chemical palliative use for dust suppression was primarily driven by the construction industry and also witnessed a substantial rise in demand across the mining, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, energy, and power sectors.
The market is recovering from the pandemic and end-use industries are bouncing back, which is projected to drive the consumption of chemical dust palliatives in the years ahead.
During the projected period, the market is predicted to expand at a CAGR of 5.1%. The U.S. mining sector is spending a lot on innovation and research. The sector is developing an undiscovered mineral and its commercial use, which might offer opportunities for expansion in the nation's mining operations over the coming years. Through 2020, more than 10% of the nation's infrastructure funding went toward mining-related projects. Over the coming years, these advances are expected to fuel the market for chemical palliatives for dust suppression.
“Construction Industry Accounting for Huge Demand Surge for Chemical Palliatives for Dust Suppression”
A lot of dust is produced by construction activities. Utilizing high-energy instruments such as cut-off saws, grinders, wall chasers, and grit blasters leads to high dust levels. As a result, dust suppressants are employed during construction in a variety of settings, including staging areas for temporary haul roads, layout areas, material storage, compacted soil, aggregate foundation roads, paved surfaces, and other places specified in the project requirements.
The construction industry contributes significantly to the development of the American economy.
Hence, due to huge investments in the building and construction sector, the need for chemical palliatives for dust suppression is only expected to increase over the coming years.
“Booming Demand for Calcium Chloride”
A naturally occurring hygroscopic substance called calcium chloride keeps the road wet even in hot, dry circumstances by attracting moisture from the air. The moisture coating of calcium chloride gives aggregates a cohesive force that holds aggregate particles together, creating a hard, compact surface.
With continued use year after year, a positive residual impact builds. Calcium chloride helps stabilize the road and prevents frost damage as it gets more firmly set in the road foundation. Calcium chloride, which is applied to miles of unpaved roads across the U.S. and Canada, is both affordable and effective as a dust suppressant. CaCl2 can reduce the overall cost of maintaining unpaved roads due to its adaptability in reducing dust over a variety of gravel kinds and climatic conditions.
Suppressants are detrimental to aquatic life, humans, animals, and plants. Inhaling dust particles might cause severe irritation. If swallowed, they can cause severe rashes as well as symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Suppressants containing calcium chloride can cause burns on human skin through contact.
Thought products manufactured with magnesium chloride are considered to be better for the environment but cannot be deemed child- and pet-friendly. Chloride-based products are all hygroscopic. In addition, while soaking up moisture from the air, they also absorb moisture from the hands, skin, and vegetation.
Also, when products containing chloride escape into rivers, the water's oxygen content decreases, impacting aquatic life. Chlorides harm the environment and people and corrode metals, and to varying degrees, concrete, asphalt, and stone paths. Chlorides also reduce the lifespan of building components such as doors and railings.
What Is the Growth Outlook for the Chemical Palliatives for Dust Suppression Market in the U.S.?
The United States accounts for a substantial market share in the region. Almost 88.3% of the chemical palliatives that are used for dust suppression supplied across North America are consumed by the country owing to the presence of prominent end users and their remarkable demand growth.
One of the main drivers for market expansion in the United States high investments by the government in infrastructure projects and the steady growth of the construction industry.
Why are Liquid Chemical Palliatives Most Widely Used for Dust Suppression?
By form, liquid chemical palliatives are expected to dominate sales in the market across USA and Canada. The segment is anticipated to contribute more than 56.4% share of the market valuation.
Dust-suppressing liquids are widely employed in quarries, gravel pits, and building sites. The liquid form's unique property is that the moisture from the water helps bind the fine gravel to avoid dust. Regular application is required to maintain an acceptable moisture level.
Utilizing a continuous dust monitor in tandem with a dust control and suppression system can help it perform at its best. In its simplest basic form, this might alert operators when there are high levels of dust so that corrective action can be taken. By using less water and chemicals, the site will stay drier and expenditures will be lower.
Hence, the overall better efficacy of liquid chemical palliatives is projected to drive segment growth over the decade.
How is the Water Absorbing Products Segment faring in the Market?
Water-absorbing products in chemical palliatives for dust suppression account for a significant market of 14.7% by value. Water-absorbing products utilized for dust control are available in calcium chloride and magnesium chloride form.
Calcium chloride, a naturally occurring hygroscopic material, absorbs moisture from the air and generates a solution that keeps the road moist and dust-free even in dry and hot conditions. The link between the microscopic aggregate particles is strengthened by repeated, seasonal treatments, resulting in the formation of a compact, hard surface that becomes more stable over time.
Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is also a hygroscopic salt. It is typically provided as a liquid with a 30% concentration. Liquid calcium chloride and magnesium chloride both can draw water, which makes them highly preferable for use in dust control systems.
Key producers of chemical palliatives are investing significantly in expansion strategies. Market players are establishing new manufacturing units and concentrating their efforts on boosting their production capacity to increase their market share and better meet the rising demand for chemical palliatives for dust suppression.
A significant number of value chain-connected enterprises are bolstering their R&D capacities to create new production technologies related to suppression chemicals.
