Mining Equipment Global Market Report 2024

The mining equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $138.8 billion in 2023 to $149.88 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The upsurge observed in the historical period can be linked to the worldwide demand for minerals, the increase in construction and infrastructure ventures, the ongoing processes of urbanization and industrialization, trends in commodity prices, and the overall expansion of the global economy.

The mining equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $202.3 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%. The forecasted growth is driven by clean energy adoption, infrastructure investments, tech-driven operational efficiency, electric vehicle market expansion, and a focus on sustainable mining practices. Major trends include electric/hybrid mining vehicles, drone use in surveying, digital twin tech for equipment simulation, wearable tech for worker safety, and modular equipment designs.

Anticipated growth in mining activities is set to drive the expansion of the mining equipment market in the foreseeable future. Mining activity involves extracting valuable minerals or resources from the earth's surface, encompassing various types of deposits such as industrial rock, metallic and non-metallic minerals. Mining equipment plays a crucial role in excavating these deposits and resources from the ground, making it an integral part of the mining process. Therefore, an upsurge in mining operations directly influences the market's trajectory. For instance, as reported by the Energy Information Administration in November 2022, crude oil production in the US surged by 14.05% in February 2022, reaching 11,316 barrels per day compared to 9,925 barrels per day in 2021. This upswing in mining activities serves as a primary catalyst driving the growth of the mining equipment market.

The anticipated surge in infrastructure investment is poised to propel the expansion of the mining equipment market in the foreseeable future. Infrastructure constitutes the foundational systems and structures essential for the seamless functioning of societies, economies, or organizations. Mining equipment relies heavily on robust infrastructure for optimal performance across transportation, processing, safety protocols, environmental management, and community development within mining operations. For instance, as reported by the Office for National Statistics in May 2023, UK general government infrastructure spending witnessed a notable 15.2% increase in 2021, reaching $23.8 billion. This substantial rise in infrastructure investment stands as a pivotal driver stimulating the growth trajectory of the mining equipment market.

Prominent players within the mining equipment sector are strategically unveiling cutting-edge solutions, particularly mining machinery offerings, to secure a competitive advantage. Mining machinery products encompass a spectrum of equipment and machinery pivotal in mineral and metal extraction processes from the earth's reserves. Notably, in April 2023, XCMG (Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd.), a leading Chinese construction machinery enterprise, introduced three groundbreaking innovations such as the XE690DK mining excavator, the XDR80TE-AT autonomous electric dump truck, and the XDE240 mining dump truck. The XE690DK mining excavator integrates an efficient power system, tailored to deliver eco-friendly and energy-conserving solutions for rigorous construction demands. Meanwhile, the XDR80TE-AT autonomous electric dump truck is equipped with a suite of sensors - visual, acoustic, laser radar, millimeter-wave radar, and cameras - ensuring enhanced operational capabilities. Complementing these advancements, the XDE240 mining dump truck features state-of-the-art environmental sensors, coupled with navigation and positioning functionalities.

Key players in the mining equipment industry are actively integrating technological advancements, particularly ground control systems, to establish a competitive edge in the market. Ground control systems serve as pivotal land- or sea-based command centers facilitating human management of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones. Notably, in February 2023, Mahanadi Coalfields Limited, an Indian coal mining corporation, unveiled drone technology for enhanced mining operations. This drone technology plays a critical role in environmental monitoring, volumetric assessments, and the creation of photogrammetric maps, thereby streamlining and digitizing mining processes. Equipped with thermal image cameras, these drones excel in detecting heat anomalies within dressing facilities such as conveyor belt systems, preempting potential issues stemming from overheating. Furthermore, this cutting-edge technology rapidly identifies the self-ignition threshold of coal in mines, enabling proactive accident monitoring and mitigation measures.

In December 2022, Komatsu Ltd., a Japanese company renowned for manufacturing construction, mining, and military equipment, completed the acquisition of GHH Group GmbH for an undisclosed financial sum. This strategic move is anticipated to bolster Komatsu's position in the underground mining equipment sector by leveraging the combined resources of the two entities. The acquisition aims to expedite new product development initiatives and enhance overall production and service capabilities, positioning both companies as formidable global players. GHH Group GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in the manufacturing of underground mining, tunneling, and civil engineering equipment.
