Growth Opportunities in the Global Mining Equipment Industry, December 2016

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trends, opportunities and forecast in this market to 2021 by product (surface mining equipment, underground mining machinery, drills and breakers, crushing, pulverizing, screening equipment, mineral processing machinery, and parts and attachment), application (metal, mineral, and coal), by region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Rest of the World)

The future of the global mining equipment industry looks good with opportunities in the surface and underground mining segment. The global mining equipment industry is expected to reach an estimated $80.8 billion by 2021, and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 2.3% from 2016 to 2021. The major drivers of growth for this industry are increasing coal and metal exploration and growth in manufacturing activities.

Emerging trends which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry include the development of underground automation systems, the introduction of automatic power crushers and multi-functional excavators, the use of hybrid electric motors, rail-veyor technology for bulk material haulage solutions.

The study includes a forecast for the global mining equipment industry by application type and region as follows:


By product type [$ billion from 2010 to 2021]:
- Underground mining machinery
- Surface mining equipment
- Drills and Breaker
- Crushing, Pulverizing, Screening equipment
- Mineral processing machinery
- Parts and attachment

By application [$ billion from 2010 to 2021]:
- Coal
- Mineral
- Metal

By region [$ billion from 2010 to 2021]:
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific
- Rest of the World

Caterpillar Inc., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Komatsu ltd, Joy Global Inc., and Atlas Copco are the major mining equipment manufacturers in the global mining equipment industry. Some companies are also pursuing mergers and acquisitions as strategic initiatives for driving growth.

On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the crushing, pulverizing, screening equipment segment is expected to show above average growth during the forecast period of 2016 to 2021 due to resource exploration and increasing mining activity.
Within the global mining equipment industry, the surface mining equipment segment is expected to remain the largest market. The shift of mining operations to geographical terrain is the major factor that would spur growth for this segment over the forecast period. Surface mining is more prevalent, due to increasing adoption of mining techniques like strip mining and open pit mining.

APAC is expected to remain the largest market due to increasing coal and metal exploration activities for power generation and rising metal consumption due to large scale infrastructure development.
