Mining Drilling Services Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global mining drilling services market stood at a value of around USD 2.86 Billion in 2024 . The market is further expected to grow in the forecast period of 2025-2034 at a CAGR of 6.50% to reach USD 5.37 Billion by 2034 .

Increasing Demand for Coal for various Applications is Driving the Global Mining Drilling Services Industry

The increasing demand for coal is propelling the demand for drilling services for coal mining. Over the forecast period, the anticipated rise in demand for coal, due to heightened application in power generation and cement and steel production is likely to bolster the market growth. In addition to this, favourable policies of the government of emerging economies to ramp up the production of coal to bridge the gap between demand and supply of coals is likely to aid the coal mining segment. Moreover, coal is comparatively cheaper to mine and the supplies of this fossil fuel is more than its counterparts such as oil and gas. These advantages of coal mining are anticipated to generate a significant demand for drilling services. Furthermore, the growing research and development activities aimed towards reducing the detrimental impact on environment by coal mining are likely to be a boon for the market over the forecast period.

The Asia Pacific Accounts for a Significant Share in the Market for Mining Drilling Services

The market in this region is being driven by the increasing demand for mining drilling services for the excavation of precious minerals such as gold, silver, and platinum in countries such as India, where the requirement of jewellery and ornaments is high. Over the forecast period, the rapid industrialisation, urbanisation, and infrastructure development in the emerging economies of the continent is anticipated to boost the demand for mining drilling services. Moreover, the rising aerospace and defence expenditure in the military power such as India and China are propelling the demand for durable and strong metals for the manufacture of equipment. This is likely to accelerate the mining processes in the coming years.
