IMARC Group’s report titled “Rotary Blasthole Drilling Rig Market Report by Type (Large-range Drilling Rig, Mid-range Drilling Rig, and Others), Power (Electric, Diesel, Hybrid), Application (Quarries, Open-Pit Mining, and Others), and Region 2025-2033”. The global rotary blasthole drilling rig market size reached USD 2.9 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.0 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.43% during 2025-2033.

Factors Affecting the Growth of the Rotary Blasthole Drilling Rig Industry:

● Infrastructure Projects:

As cities expand, the need for subways, skyscrapers, and highways rises. These projects demand significant groundwork, where rotary blasthole drilling rigs are vital. Similarly, expanding transportation—like railways, highways, and bridges—also needs extensive drilling and digging. Here, these rigs work through different terrains, ensuring the new structures remain stable and sound.

● Energy Sector Developments:

Shale gas extraction, especially in North America, is growing. This growth requires advanced drilling rigs for shale formations. Often, these are rotary blasthole rigs, known for drilling deeper and more accurately. Meanwhile, the renewable energy sector also boosts the demand for drilling rigs. For instance, geothermal energy production taps into the Earth's heat. This process requires the robust solutions that advanced rigs provide.

● Technological Advancements:

Automation in drilling rigs reduces manual work, increases accuracy and reduces errors. These systems run without stopping, which increases productivity and safety by limiting human exposure. They automatically adapt to geological changes, improving drilling accuracy. Using sensors and data, they fine-tune speed, torque and angle, ensuring efficiency and reducing waste.
