Mining Drills and Breakers Market Overview

Mining drills and breakers market size is forecast to reach US$18.5 billion by 2027, after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2022-2027. Mining drills and breakers are utilized to drill the surface of the earth for mining operations like drilling holes and crushing or breaking rocks in the ground. Rotary drills, blast-hole drills, percussive drills, crawler drills, hydraulic crawler drills, and others are all types of mining drills and breakers. Mobile and stationary hydraulic breakers, as well as other rock breakers, are among the several types of breakers. Drills are typically used to drill holes in the ground surface into which explosives may be placed for blasting. Mining drills refer to the equipment that is used to demolish and break stones or rocks for mining. The jackleg mining/drill is one of the pieces of machinery that allowed miners to increase productivity by an unheard-of amount during the industrial revolution. The rapid growth of metal mining and the increased safety concerns in the mining industry are the driving factors of the market. For instance, in 2021 Piedmont Limited invested US$14.5 million in Sayona’s lithium project in Quebec with a supply agreement for 50% of mine’s lithium spodumene production. APAC holds the dominance in the market particularly due to emerging economies like China and India.

Covid-19 Impact

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has plunged the world into an economic crisis vastly different from any in recent memory. The dual health and economic crisis were experienced in 2020, which will require more than monetary policy in the long term. Due to the imposition of lockdowns across different countries, companies are facing severe cash flow issues. Halting or slowing down of manufacturing of, mining drills and breakers, as well as disruptions in the supply chain logistics globally owing to the outbreak of COVID-19, have resulted in reduced demand for mining drills and breakers. Besides, OECD data shows that global GDP decreased by 4.2% in 2020, while it is expected to increase by the same amount in 2021. By late 2021, the global economy is expected to return to pre-coronavirus levels, but this will be an uneven process across different countries.

Mining Drills and Breakers Market Segment Analysis - By Machinery Type

The mining drills segments accounted for approximately 75% of the market share in 2021 and are estimated to grow at a 6.2% CAGR during the forecast period. The increase in demand for underground mining equipment owing to proactive changes in energy efficiency regulations by various governments across the globe is contributing to industry growth. Mining solutions based on the ongoing requirements for energy efficiency, improved safety, and reduced environmental impact are expected to positively affect industry growth. The growth of infrastructure along with an increase in mining activities is contributing to the segment growth. Besides, the adoption of synchronized breakers offers a significant advantage to manufacturers and consumers as the breakers provide several alternatives to quarry owners for selecting breakers aligned to a specific application. According to Federal Highway Administration Research and Technology, it is estimated that mining processes of mineral ores generate approximately 1.6 billion metric tons of mineral processing waste each year in the U.S. The new norms include recycling and proper treatment before disposal. Thus, anticipating the overall market growth of mining drills and breakers. 

Mining Drills and Breakers Market Segment Analysis - By Application

The mineral mining segment accounted for approximately 22% of the market share in 2021 and is estimated to grow at a 5.4% CAGR during the forecast period. The chemical industry has identified mineral mining as one of the global megatrends it is focusing on because a growing world population and increasing wealth may result in an increasing need for raw materials to build infrastructure and produce consumer goods. It is expected that mining chemical use will grow even faster since the industry deals with lower-grade ores that require a greater amount of chemical processing. Chemicals are used to control dust, and the use of water is more efficient in many cases due to environmental and health regulations. Steel and alumina production and conversion costs in India are relatively low. Export opportunities and fast-developing Asian markets are enabled by the city's strategic location. As per the Indian Brand Equity Foundation, a total of 1,229 mines in India are reported as of FY21, of which 545 report metallic minerals and 684 non-metallic minerals.

Mining Drills and Breakers Market Segment Analysis - By Geography

Asia-Pacific had accounted for the largest share of 39% in 2021 and is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 6.1% for the mining drills and breakers market during the forecast period 2022-2027, followed by North America and Europe. APAC holds the dominance in the market particularly due to emerging economies like China and India. Many international companies have recently increased their presence in these regions. Over the years, China has produced 11% of the world's mines, making it the top exporter. The presence of key players such as Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., and Komatsu Ltd. is providing a major contribution towards the growth of the mining drills and breakers market.
