Market Segmentation

Heavy mining equipment refers to heavy machines that are used for purposes like mining, earthmoving tasks, or construction. It is referred to as heavy due to the heavy-duty work it performs at the mining sites like gold or iron ore. Underground mining equipment like diggers, trucks, and loaders, among others, are some types of the equipment that are helpful in the extraction of materials. The equipment is also useful in the processing of the excavated products, which are hauled to the ground using lifts or skips. These equipment are essential to carry out effective and precise mining tasks across diverse application sectors.

Increasing Demand in Downstream Applications to Bolster the Market for Heavy Mining Equipment

The global heavy mining equipment market is supported significantly by its downstream industries like mining, cement production, autonomous equipment, and automation, among others. The market is being primarily driven by the mining sector, which is rapidly expanding owing to the newly found resources in regions like Zambia and Congo. The increasing demand for precious metals, coal, and other metal and non-metal products is leading to increased mining activities in Indonesia, India, and China. The rapid growth of mining activities fuelled by the demand for underground resources is, in turn, increasing the demand for heavy mining equipment. Furthermore, the development of new mining locations is resulting in an increased demand for mining equipment. The rise in the levels of mineral output is also propelling the market growth. Coal mining is another crucial factor, pushing the market growth for heavy equipment further. Coal accounts for 40% share of the mining sector revenues. Further, the metal mining application segment is also supporting the market growth with the increasing demand for precious metals, favorable government policies, and a rise in hauling of metal deposits.

The heavy mining equipment market is also being driven by the developing economies of Asian countries like India and China. China is majorly supported by its growing economy as well as the rising prices of the commodity. The rising commodity prices help the producers and mining companies gain more profit margins. The market is also being aided by the growing construction sector, which is rapidly growing across all regions, especially in Asian countries.

The growing expenditure by the market players to develop advanced heavy mining equipment is expected to support the market growth in the forecast period. For instance, in February 2023, Boart Longyear, a US-based mining company, announced the launch of its new LM deephole underground drilling rig, which provides 50% increased drilling depth. The drill can be controlled remotely through DCi™ (Drill Control Interface), and it comes with a rod handler for improved safety. With increasing complexities in mining operations, the robotic technology is likely to witness increased acceptance across various segments to enhance operational efficiency. The growing adoption of autonomous and robotics technology is aimed at improving mining tasks precision and efficiency. Such developments are expected to aid the market growth in the forecast period.
