Mining equipment and machinery Market Segmental Insights
On the basis of product category, the global mining equipment and machinery market is divided into crushing, pulverizing, and screening equipment, drills & breakers, mineral processing equipment, surface mining equipment, and underground mining equipment.
The surface mining equipment segment is expected to holds a major share of the market, due to the high demand for these equipment and machinery, for the extraction of minerals such as non-metallic ore, metallic ore, and coal.
The underground mining equipment segment is estimated to expand at a CAGR of around 8.1 % during the forecast period. The demand for underground mining equipment is rising rapidly due to majority of miners shift from a vacuum method of mining to underground mining.
The sector is moving toward limiting human involvement in underground mining owing to growing safety concerns; therefore, extractors use automated underground mining equipment during the forecast period.
Based on propulsion the global mining equipment and machinery market is classified into Diesel, Gasoline, CNG/ LNG/Others. The Diesel segment is expected to hold higher market share, as it is widely used in mining equipment and machinery due to its high density that makes diesel a preferred propulsion for this equipment.
However, the CNG/LNG is considered as an alternative for the diesel and gasoline for mining equipment and machinery, as these are highly efficient and effective. The gasoline segment constitutes of small share of the market due to its low efficiency and high cost, which leads to low consumption of the gasoline.
In terms of application the market is segmented into coal, mineral, and metal. The metal segment accounts for a major share of the market due to the rising demand for precious metals such as diamond, silver, and gold and increasing hauling of metal deposits.
Growing need for mineral mining due to rising demand for the extraction of stones, rocks, and other materials used for the construction of buildings and in the generation of low-cost, reliable electricity is expected to increase the demand of mining equipment and machinery.
Factors such as favorable government legislation, growth of mining-related end-use industries, and volatility in commodity prices are expected to hamper the demand for mining equipment.
Regional Outlook
In terms of region the market has been fragmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the market and is expected to retain its lead position during the forecast period. India, followed by Australia, accounted for a key share of the market, in terms of revenue due to relentless expenditure and rising infrastructure projects.
The market in India offers a number of opportunities to market players, as there is significant scope for exploring bauxite, iron ore, and coal. Moreover, the country's booming real estate sector is expected to increase the demand for metal mining equipment and machinery, thus contributing to the regional growth in the market.
