ROCK DRILLING JUMBO MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Rock Drilling Jumbo Market is poised for significant growth rising to USD 0.424 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 0.593 billion by 2034, with a CAGR of 3.83% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Rock Drilling Jumbo market size is projected at USD 0.088 billion in 2025, the Europe Rock Drilling Jumbo market size is projected at USD 0.118 billion in 2025, and the China Rock Drilling Jumbo market size is projected at USD 0.084 billion in 2025.

Rock drilling jumbo is basically a simple machine which is majorly composed of rock drill, drill arm (the support, positioning and propelling mechanism), frame, travel system, and other necessary attachments. Drilling jumbos have a wide variety of application, mining being the leading one. It has main application in underground mining, which is done by drilling and blasting. It is also being increasingly used in tunnelling. However, presence of hard and rough rocks prevents smooth tunneling processes.  Moreover, these mining vehicles are very sturdy and long-lasting. Also, these are cost effective in comparison to other heavy machineries.

These simple machines have self-propelling feature where multiple rock drills can work simultaneously leads to enhanced work efficiency and productivity. Furthermore, technological innovation and advancement is highly predicted to result in production of higher quality products which bore satisfactory results. Earlier, rock drills used to run on compressed air power management systems whereas now electricity is being mostly used.

Key Findings

COVID-19 Impact

Disturbance in Supply Chains Results to Market Derailment 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the rock drilling jumbo market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

With the rise of COVID-19 virus, regions all over the world had to undergo and face terrible challenges. In order to control the virus from spreading all the basic and fundamental socio-economic activities were ordered to be stopped. Strict government protocols and lockdowns were imposed in favor of public. In turn, these actions severely disrupted the regional as well as global supply chains and transportation processes, resulting in derailed market growth. To save expenditure, workers were forcefully removed from their jobs and work positions.

But, once the conditions started growing better, the respected market witnessed rise in demand of the product leading to increased product sales.

LATEST TRENDS

DRIVING FACTORS

Increase in Demand of the Product to Fuel Market Growth

One of the major factors which promotes the growth of the rock drilling jumbo market is the increasing demand of the product both in regional as well as global markets. It is due to the advantageous features of jumbo drills such as its environment friendly nature. Also, jumbo drills are cost effective, making it not very difficult to be affordable by everyone. Moreover, jumbo drills, both diesel, and electric are zero-emission devices which makes it environmentally sustainable. Also, with proper knowledge prior to its use, jumbo drills are super easy to use and manage.

• According to India’s Ministry of Mines, there was a 13.2% rise in underground mining output from 2022 to 2023, boosting demand for rock drilling jumbos with advanced mobility and bore precision.

• Based on Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, over 46 tunnel projects were greenlit in 2023, reinforcing the use of self-propelled jumbo drilling rigs in Asia’s transport expansion plans.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Rates of Machinery Wear and Tear Leads to Limited Market Growth

One of the limiting factor which that hampers the overall growth of the market is the risk of frequent machinery breakdown. This is highly anticipated to be due to the fact that drilling some very rough rocks require very high energy which if not supplied leads to machine breakdown. Also, requirement of high energy to make the machine work makes the process more expensive, resulting in restricting rock drilling jumbo market growth.

• According to the European Committee of Mining Industries, approximately 24% of rock drilling jumbos experience major mechanical breakdowns within the first 5 years due to extreme operating conditions in hard rock zones.

• A study by Canada’s Centre for Occupational Health and Safety revealed that 29% of mining-related injuries are linked to equipment malfunctions, pushing companies to limit deployment of high-maintenance jumbo drills.
