It will grow from $39.64 billion in 2024 to $43.66 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to global industrialization and infrastructure development, economic growth and construction activities, mining regulations and compliance, commodity prices and market demand, population growth and urbanization.

The nonmetallic minerals mining support activities market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $60.1 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to renewable energy and infrastructure projects, environmental sustainability and green practices, innovation in extraction and processing techniques, global construction and manufacturing trends, supply chain resilience and raw material sourcing. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of 3d printing in mining components, focus on worker safety and health, expansion of support services in rare earth elements mining, remote operation and monitoring centers, development of sustainable materials for mining infrastructure.

The non-metallic minerals mining support activities market is anticipated to experience growth, propelled by the increasing demand for construction materials. Construction materials, including timber, cement, steel, aggregates, bricks, concrete, and clay, are essential for building structures. Non-metallic minerals incorporated into construction materials offer robust protection against corrosion, particularly from salt or seawater. Notably, statistics from the UK's Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy indicate a £26 million ($28.35 million) increase in construction materials exports in Q3 2022 compared to the previous quarter, reflecting a 1.2% rise. This surge in demand for construction materials is a significant driver for the growth of the non-metallic minerals mining support activities market.

The rise in infrastructure development is poised to contribute to increased revenue in the non-metallic minerals mining support activities market. Infrastructure development involves the planning, construction, enhancement, and maintenance of fundamental physical and organizational structures necessary for societal, economic, or regional functionality. Global infrastructure investments are projected to reach $94 trillion by the end of 2040, according to the Global Infrastructure Outlook. Additionally, India's National Infrastructure Pipeline, with a planned investment of $1.43 trillion over the next five years, further underscores the momentum in infrastructure development. The growing emphasis on infrastructure projects is expected to drive demand for materials used in construction, thereby fostering growth in the non-metallic minerals mining support activities market.

Major companies in the non-metallic mineral mining support activities market are evolving their mineral missions to integrate sustainable practices and innovative technologies that improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and adapt to the changing demands of the industry. This mission emphasizes boosting local production of critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, and copper, which are essential for various sectors, including electric vehicles and renewable energy technologies. For example, in August 2024, the Ministry of Mines, an India-based governmental body, announced initiatives aimed at enhancing the country's self-reliance in vital minerals necessary for economic growth and energy transition. This initiative, outlined in the Union Budget 2024-25, focuses on increasing domestic production, promoting recycling, and incentivizing the acquisition of critical mineral assets overseas. The mission aims to establish a sustainable value chain for critical minerals, addressing supply chain vulnerabilities that have been intensified by India's significant dependence on imports, especially from China.

Digital twins have emerged as another key trend in the non-metallic mineral mining support activities market. Digital twins are virtual replicas or representations of physical objects, processes, systems, or entities. Metso Outotec, a Finland-based machine industry company, introduced the digital twin solution 'Metso Outotec Geminex' in March 2022. Geminex facilitates the management of variability and optimization of resources in mining and metallurgical processes by combining operational data from internal and external sources. This digital twin solution enhances control over asset integrity, improves field personnel management, and provides insights into areas of degradation, lead times for maintenance and inspections, and budget requirements for these activities.

In December 2022, Rio Tinto, a UK-based metals and mining corporation, acquired Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. for $3.1 billion. This acquisition aimed to broaden, diversify, and enrich Rio Tinto's portfolio in line with its growth strategy in the materials sector. Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. is a Canada-based mineral exploration and development company operating in the non-metallic minerals mining support activities market.
