The global surface mining equipment market size is expected to reach USD 1,016.78 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.. Surge in demand for metals and minerals owing to the growth of energy, manufacturing and construction industry is anticipated to drive the demand for surface mining equipment over the forecast period. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and big data analysis enabling target exploration, optimized safety of workers and increased production is driving the market growth.
The ongoing urbanization and industrialization have fueled the global demand for natural resources such as oil and minerals. As a result, the global mining industry is flourishing which, in turn, is boosting the demand for mining equipment. Companies operating in the mining equipment market are enhancing their production capacities to meet the rising global demand for various types of mining equipment, such as crushers, mining drills & breakers, screening equipment, surface mining tools, and mineral processing equipment.
Automation is gaining the utmost importance in extracting and exploring metals and minerals. Integration of automated technology in mining operations is expected to boost the demand for innovative mining equipment for firms to remain competitive. For instance, in January 2022, Boart Longyear announced the launch of LM Deep hole underground drilling rig. It can be controlled remotely with the DCiTM (Drill Control Interface) and comes with a rod handler for added safety.
Most surface mining equipment manufacturers are focusing on developing electric equipment to reduce their carbon footprint and emission levels. The manufacturers are resorting to strategies such as product launches, partnerships, and product enhancement to sustain in the highly competitive market. For instance, in July 2023, Komatsu Ltd. revealed its plans to introduce PC210LCE-11 and 200LCE-11 versions of its class electric 20-ton excavators powered by Li-ion batteries in Japan and Europe.
