The mining equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been significant expansion in the size of the mining equipment market. This market which was valued at $148.74 billion in 2024 is projected to escalate to $160.19 billion in 2025, seeing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%.
The notable growth observed in the past can be credited to the worldwide need for minerals, an increment in construction and infrastructure projects, urbanization and industrialization, commodity pricing patterns, and global economic progress.
The mining equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The expansion of the mining equipment market is anticipated to display robust growth in the ensuing years. The market is projected to evolve to a value of $218.17 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%.
The predicted growth during this period can be ascribed to aspects such as the shift towards renewable energy, infrastructure investments, tech-induced operational efficiency, expansion of the electric vehicles industry, and emphasis on eco-friendly mining procedures. Significant trends projected during this period encompass the launch of electric and hybrid mining vehicles, usage of drones and UAVs for mapping and exploration, the application of digital twin technology for equipment emulation, integration of wearable tech for personnel safety, and the emergence of modular and adaptable equipment design.
The expectation for the mining equipment market to surge is attributed to a rise in mining endeavors. Mining refers to the extraction of non-metallic mineral deposits, precious minerals, industrial rock accumulations, or metallic mineral reserves from the world's surface, including oceans. The role of mining equipment is critical in these activities as it aids the excavation process of these deposits and resources. Consequently, a boost in mining endeavors can stimulate the growth of its market. To illustrate, data from the Energy Information Administration, a US-based energy statistic provider, showed that in November 2022, there was a 14.05% surge in crude oil production in America compared to the production in 2021, escalating to 11,316 barrels daily from 9,925 barrels. Thus, the rise in mining operations is a significant contributor to the enhancement of the mining equipment market.
