Dublin, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Black Powder Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The report offers a deep understanding of global market size, trends, competitive landscape, and opportunities, providing valuable insights for stakeholders and industry participants.

Asia-Pacific emerged as the largest region in the black powder market in 2025 and is expected to continue its rapid growth trajectory during the forecast period.

The global black powder market is experiencing robust growth, fueled by its extensive applications across various sectors. The market size is projected to increase significantly from $1 billion in 2025 to $1.06 billion in 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. This trend is heavily influenced by the exploding demand for black powder in historical reenactments, traditional ammunition, and applications in mining and construction industries.

Forecasts suggest the market will reach $1.31 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 5.4%. The future growth drivers include a surge in demand for specialty black powders in recreational shooting, expansion in corrosion-resistant formulations, and the adoption of environmentally compliant, low-smoke powders. Significant trends like the increasing use of pyrotechnic-grade black powder in entertainment and rising interest in traditional firearms are driving this expansion.

A key growth factor is the expanding fireworks industry, which extensively employs black powder as propellant and explosive charge. With rising consumer spending on celebrations and entertainment globally, demand for black powder remains strong. For example, global exports of fireworks grew by 6.7% year-over-year in 2025, reflecting heightened international demand.

Leading companies are investing in technological advancements to enhance product consistency and safety, as seen in the initiatives by Estes Energetics, which opened a new facility in Louisiana in 2024. Such strategic advancements fortify the US defense base and ensure flexible production capabilities. Furthermore, a significant joint venture between Rheinmetall and VMZ in 2025 aims to augment Europe's defense manufacturing capacity.
