Global Mining Equipment Market Size

Mining Equipment Market Insights

The mining equipment market is estimated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Increased development of electric and autonomous mining, upcoming emission regulations, and increase in demand for minerals and metals are some of the major factors driving the market growth of mining equipment. The mining industry is currently witnessing a positive phase, with increase in commodity price, and augmented demand for raw material is further expected to boost the market growth. However, growth of the market is majorly driven by the increased demand of high priced metals like copper, gold, and other ores.

Growing drilling and exploration activities across the world is one of the major factors which are expected to drive the market growth over the forecasted period. Increased investments and adoption of automated technologies in the sector has directed to the improved use of connected and smart solutions. Furthermore the market has also witnessed the adoption of big data analytics which helped in reduction of operational costs and improved processes. Data analytics is used in many phases involved in mining processes to ensure workers safety and security, facilitate smart collaboration, and smarter procurement of equipment.

Mining Equipment Market: By Equipment Category

The mining equipment market can be segmented based on equipment Category into crushing, pulverizing & screening equipment, drills & breakers, mineral processing equipment, surface mining equipment, and underground mining equipment. The crushing, pulverizing and screening equipment segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. The equipment is used to break down large stones, rocks and other materials into smaller pieces. In general crushing equipment is a part of material handling plants. There are different types of crushers and each of them serves their unique purpose such as jaw, cone, glass, split feed, stone, and gyratory crushers. The screening equipment finds its application in separation of materials from each other. These equipment are most important and essential equipment, hence they are readily used in the mining and exploration activities. However, underground equipment is anticipated to be the fastest growing mining equipment because of increased closed mining activity in search of precious metals and minerals.

Mining Equipment Market: By Industry

The mining equipment market can be classified on the basis of industry into metals, minerals, and coal. Metal mining industry is anticipated to witness a steady growth during the forecast period owing to increase in disposable income and improved standard of living which has fueled the demand for high priced metals such as silver, gold, platinum among others. Other metals such as zinc, lead, aluminum, nickel and copper are increasingly used in several industrial sectors such as chemical, construction, and energy and utility in order to perform manufacturing operations.

Mining Equipment Market: By Propulsion

The mining equipment market can be segmented on the basis of propulsion type into diesel, gasoline, and CNG/LNG/others. Diesel segment is expected to hold the largest market share in the forecasted period owing to better fuel economy and better acceleration over gasoline and others. However, CNG/LNG/others is anticipated to witness highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to its unique properties such as the cleanest burning fuel, thereby emitting fewer greenhouse gas and tailpipe emission, reduced fuel cost, performance advantage under both hot or cold weather condition, safety advantage, and favorable government regulations among others.
