Iron sand miners have faced a mixed operating environment over the past five years. Despite significant volatility, the world price of iron ore has increased over the period, supporting revenue growth. Industry output and downstream demand for steel came under pressure during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, global iron ore prices soared in 2020-21 on the back of supply disruptions in Brazil. Overall, industry revenue is anticipated to grow at an annualised 6.0% over the five years through 2023-24, to $223.3 million. This includes an expected fall of 0.1% in 2023-24 as iron ore prices soften.Mixed Prospects: the Rising World Price of Iron Ore Has Limited Industry Revenue Declines
