The ball mill for mining market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.47 billion in 2025 to $4.76 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of mineral processing facilities, rising demand for fine grinding solutions, increased use of wet grinding technologies, growth of metal and mineral mining operations, availability of robust grinding equipment.
The ball mill for mining market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.23 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart mineral processing plants, rising focus on reducing energy consumption in grinding, expansion of large-scale mining projects, growing adoption of automation in comminution circuits, increasing demand for high-throughput milling solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of energy-efficient grinding systems, rising adoption of large-capacity ball mills, growing integration of automated mill control systems, expansion of high-performance grinding media usage, enhanced focus on uniform particle size output.
The increasing demand for minerals and metals is expected to drive the growth of the ball mill for mining market in the coming years. Minerals and metals are naturally occurring inorganic materials extracted from the earth and used across construction, manufacturing, technology, and various industrial applications. This rising demand is largely fueled by the expansion of renewable energy technologies, which require substantial quantities of metals such as lithium, cobalt, and copper for batteries and wind turbines. Ball mills for mining play a crucial role in the minerals and metals sector by grinding ores into fine particles, allowing effective separation of valuable minerals from waste rock and improving downstream processes such as flotation, leaching, and smelting, thereby maximizing recovery rates and the economic value of extracted resources. For example, in September 2025, the UK-based Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office reported that South Africa could generate between approximately USD 787 million (£630 million) and USD 1.35 billion (£1.08 billion) from mineral processing, as demand for battery-grade materials is projected to triple by 2030, supported by the country’s position as one of five nations with high-grade sulphide nickel reserves and a leading global producer of manganese. Consequently, the growing demand for minerals and metals is fueling the expansion of the ball mill for mining market.
Leading companies operating in the ball mill for mining market are emphasizing the development of innovative solutions such as gold ore processing facilities to build new large scale gold mining and processing capacities in resource rich regions. A gold ore processing facility is an industrial installation equipped with crushing, grinding, and separation systems used to extract and refine gold from mined ore. For instance, in September 2025, Deccan Gold Mines Limited, an India based gold exploration and mining company, launched the Altyn Tor Gold Project in Kyrgyzstan. The project features a large scale ore reserve with higher than expected grades and includes multiple conveyors, a crusher system, and a ball mill scheduled to begin operations in September 2025. It marks the first Indian operated gold mining venture in Central Asia and is designed for continuous, all weather production of Dore gold bars, reflecting a major expansion in gold extraction and mineral processing capabilities.
In August 2024, Metso Corporation, a Finland-based industrial company that supplies ball mills for mining, entered into a comprehensive framework agreement worth $0.21 billion (EUR 200 million) with Reko Diq Mining Company (Private) Limited.
