Mining Equipment Industry Up To $133.2 Billion: 2026 Forecast
from SMR July 2022
During the years 2022-2026, the worldwide mining equipment market is estimated to reach US$133.2 billion, rising at a CAGR of 5.00 percent. Increased coal consumption in China, increased underground copper production, increased mineral fertilizer sales, increased demand for cobalt batteries, and increased usage of electric gear in underground mining will all contribute to the market's growth.
Exports of secondhand mining machinery to developing countries, on the other hand, would pose a threat to market expansion, as would strict limitations on mining activities. Upsurge in copper consumption in passenger vehicles, accelerating capital spending in the mining industry, using telematics in mining gear, and expanding use of outsourcing equipment are only a few prominent trends. Due to the development of new mining tools and machines, the mining equipment industry is rapidly developing worldwide. As digitization and automation gain traction, technology is becoming a major differentiating feature for manufacturers and mining firms.
Key players are concentrating on lowering extraction and equipment maintenance costs. Furthermore, the sector is seeing the widespread implementation of several clusters of technologies, such as robots and automation, smart sensors, and 3D printing, to improve operational efficiency, which is significantly fueling market expansion.
The market is examined across Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, and the Rest of the World. The Asia-Pacific area has the biggest market share for mining equipment, with India, Australia, and China accounting for most of the region's income.
