MINERAL PROCESSING MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Mineral Processing Market size stood at USD 79.63 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 91.36 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 274.26 billion by 2033 at an estimated CAGR of 14.73% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with mineral processing experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

To treat ores and mineral products and extract the minerals from rock and gangue, mineral processing equipment is employed. These tools are utilized in a procedure where ores are processed to produce a more concentrated substance. The output of minerals including iron, copper, and other ores has expanded significantly during the medium term due to improvements in mining technology and equipment. Large-scale projects and expansions have been a part of this growth. Mining activity has expanded in numerous places as a result of the expansion of the infrastructure and manufacturing sectors and the demand for mining machinery.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Closure Manufacturing Units Hampered Market Growth

Global political, economic, financial, and social systems were upended by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The pandemic reduced demand for equipment across a wide range of industries, including mining. A significant supply chain breakdown had a negative impact on the market. The market for mineral processing equipment, however, is anticipated to experience significant growth over the course of the projection period as the economy begins to bounce back from the losses.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Urbanization to Increase Market Growth

A significant factor propelling the global market for mineral processing is the rapid industrialization and urbanization. Population has increased significantly during the past ten years, which has increased mineral consumption. The demand for minerals has also increased as a result of rising household incomes. Therefore, a key factor driving the global mineral processing market growth for mineral processing is the rising industrial and urbanization of the world.
