Mining Machinery and Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The mining machinery and equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $69.49 billion in 2023 to $77.09 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to the strong economic growth in countries such as India and China, the abundance of reserves, and the increase in mining activities.

The mining machinery and equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.54 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increase in incentives and opportunities. Other factors expected to bolster market growth include a rise in capital expenditure on infrastructure development, supportive government policies, enhanced logistics infrastructure, and an increase in construction activities. Key trends projected for the forecast period involve the development of innovative and efficient battery-driven underground and surface mining machinery, the establishment of strategic partnerships and collaborations, the creation of precision surface excavation machines, investments in acquisitions, a focus on developing and launching automated mining machinery, and an emphasis on developing telematics-embedded mining machinery.

The growth of the mining machinery and equipment market is being propelled by the increasing demand for mining activities. Advanced underground mining equipment, including trucks, loaders, and diggers, is utilized to extract materials, which are then transported to the surface via skips or lifts for further processing. Developed nations such as Australia, the USA, and Canada have witnessed significant economic growth, with mining playing a pivotal role. Particularly crucial to the US economy, the USA is one of the world's largest consumers and producers of mineral resources. In 2021, according to the USA Geological Report, US mines produced almost $90.4 billion worth of nonfuel minerals, reflecting a 12% increase compared to 2020. Hence, the rising demand for mining activities is a key driver for the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market.

The growth of the mining machinery and equipment market is expected to be fueled by increasing construction activities. Construction involves assembling various elements to create structures at specific locations based on detailed designs and plans. Construction activities contribute to the efficiency and growth of the mining industry in various ways. In June 2021, according to Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa, building activities in New Zealand increased by 3.7 percent in March 2021, and residential activities rose by 4.3 percent in 2021 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the US Census Bureau reported a 10.2 percent growth in the value of construction activities, from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022. Consequently, the increasing construction activities are propelling the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market.

Leading players in the mining machinery and equipment market are strategically focusing on expanding their development efforts in automated and electric-driven mining machinery through collaborations and partnerships with technology players. For example, in March 2021, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and ABB Ltd. signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop solutions for heavy machinery in the mining industry with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. ABB's expertise in automation, digital solutions, and electrification will be integrated into the advancement of advanced mining trucks and excavators.

Major players are increasingly emphasizing acquisitions for several advantages, including a broader product portfolio, an expanded customer base, and access to patents related to mining machinery and equipment. In March 2021, Epiroc, a provider of battery-electric vehicles for the mining industry, acquired Meglab for an undisclosed amount, enhancing Epiroc's capabilities to provide necessary infrastructure as mines transition to battery-electric vehicles.

In October 2022, Austin, a US-based company specializing in mining equipment design and manufacturing, acquired Mainetec Pty Ltd for US $19.6 million. This acquisition extends Austin's product offerings for Hulk buckets and other products, along with providing plans for product progression across the USA, Canada, and Chile markets. Mainetec Pty Ltd is an Australia-based manufacturer of mining equipment.
