Mining is the process of extraction of minerals, metals and other valuable materials from the earth. The main types of mining are mining support activities, general minerals, stones, copper, nickel, lead, zInc., metal ore, coal, lignite, and anthracite. General minerals include mine construction sand and gravel, industrial sand, kaolin and ball clay, clay and ceramic and refractory minerals, potash, soda and borate mineral, phosphate rock, or other chemical and fertilizer minerals mining. The various processes used for mining are underground mining and surface mining. The different service providers include independent contractors and companies. The global mining market is segmented - 1) By Type: Mining Support Activities, General Minerals, Stones, Copper, Nickel, Lead, And Zinc, Metal Ore, Coal, Lignite, And Anthracite 2) By Process: Underground Mining, Surface Mining 3) By Service Provider: Independent Contractors, Companies Subsegments Covered: Coal Mining Support Activities, Metal Mining Support Activities, Nonmetallic Minerals Mining Support Activities, Other General Minerals, Potash, Salt, Magnesite, Sulfur, Kaolin, Asbestos, Feldspar, Boron, Gypsum, Talc, Graphite, Baryte, Bentonite, Diatomite, Lithium, Selenium, Perlite, Vermiculite, Arsenic, Diamond,, Dimension Stones, Crushed Stones, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Gold Ore, Iron Ore, All Other Metal Ores, Silver Ore, Uranium Ore, Vanadium Ore, Coal, Lignite, Anthracite The global mining market size grew from $2022.6 billion in 2022 to $2145.15 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The mining market is expected to grow to $2775.5 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.7%. Government policies to support the mining industry is expected to drive the mining market. Governments are providing subsidies and encouraging foreign direct investments (FDI) in the mining industry. The amount of government support includes the support through governments' public finance institutions such as bilateral development banks and export credit agencies investing in mining projects, fiscal support through budget allocations and tax exemptions, and investments through majority state-owned mining and utility companies. For instance, in 2021, the Ministry of mines of the Government of India, enacted the Mines and Minerals Amendment Act 2021, and published The Mineral Conservation and Development Rules to facilitate the growth of Mining industry in India and to regulate the industry. These government policies will continue to support the growth of the mining market. Major companies in the mining market include BHP Group, Vale S.A., Rio Tinto, Glencore International, Anglo American plc, China Shenhua Energy Company Limited, China Coal Energy Company Limited, The Metallurgical Corp of China, Coal India Ltd and Corporacion Nacional del Cobre de Chile. Power generation companies are increasingly using alternate sources of energy such as natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable to produce clean and sustainable electricity. The decreasing cost of installation of renewable sources of energy is also driving the use of these sources for power generation. This is expected to act as a restraint on the demand for coal in power generation. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal's share of the total world energy consumption is expected to decline from 22% in 2040. Renewable is expected to be the fastest growing energy source, with their consumption increasing at an average rate of 2.3% per year till 2040. The continuous shift to alternative sources for power generation will restrain the mining market. The use of renewable energy is helping mining companies reduce power costs and control emissions in the mines. As the solar or wind projects are built close to the mine sites, the cost of connecting to the power grid is also reduced. Site-appropriate renewable energy sources are reliable, consistent, and also economical. BHP and RioTinto have started using renewable energy sources in their mines. According to a report published by EY, RioTinto aims to generate 10% of 20MW – 25MW power demand from renewable energy in one of their mines and expects to reduce its diesel use by approximately 4 million liters, and its CO2 emissions by 12,000 tons. Also, in 2020, Rio Tinto approved the development of a large-scale solar photovoltaic and battery storage system for its western Australian Koodaideri mine. The solar plant will be one of Australia's largest photovoltaic installations at a mining site once completed. According to a report by Fitch Solutions, renewable energy used by mining companies from various sources include 57% solar thermal, 37% of solar PV, and 4% of wind energy.
