Mining Machinery and Equipment Market Report 2025

The mining machinery and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $68.83 billion in 2024 to $74.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to robust economic growth in countries such as India and China, an abundance of reserves, and an increase in mining activities.

The mining machinery and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $97.02 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to an increase in incentives and opportunities, growing capital expenditure on infrastructure development, government policies, improved logistics infrastructure, and increasing construction activities. Major trends in the forecast period include developing innovative and efficient battery-driven underground and surface mining machinery, establishing strategic partnerships and collaborations, developing precision surface excavation machines, investing in acquisitions, focusing on developing and launching automated mining machinery, and focusing on developing telematics-embedded mining machinery.

The rising demand for mining is driving the expansion of the mining machinery and equipment market. Advanced underground mining equipment, such as trucks, loaders, and diggers, is utilized to excavate materials, which are then transported to the surface via skips or lifts for further processing. In economically developed countries like Australia, the USA, and Canada, mining has played a crucial role in driving growth. Particularly in the US, where it is a significant industry, the country ranks among the largest consumers of mineral resources and is one of the top producers globally. For example, in February 2023, the United States Geological Survey reported that the production of nonfuel mineral commodities in the US increased from $94.6 billion in 2021 to $98.2 billion in 2022. As a result, the growing demand for mining is contributing to the market's growth in mining machinery and equipment.

The growth of the mining machinery and equipment market is expected to be fueled by increasing construction activities. Construction involves assembling various elements to create structures at specific locations based on detailed designs and plans. Construction activities contribute to the efficiency and growth of the mining industry in various ways. In June 2021, according to Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa, building activities in New Zealand increased by 3.7 percent in March 2021, and residential activities rose by 4.3 percent in 2021 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the US Census Bureau reported a 10.2 percent growth in the value of construction activities, from $1.62 trillion in 2021 to $1.79 trillion in 2022. Consequently, the increasing construction activities are propelling the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market.

Key players in the mining machinery and equipment market are increasingly concentrating on enhancing their development efforts in automated and electric-driven mining machinery. This is being achieved through strategic collaborations and partnerships with technology companies in the sector. For example, in October 2024, Liebherr, a German equipment manufacturer, announced a partnership with Fortescue, an Australia-based metal mining company, to create and implement zero-emission mining solutions. This collaboration focuses on the development and supply of a significant fleet of 475 zero-emission Liebherr mining machines, which will include around 360 autonomous battery-electric trucks. This initiative represents a vital advancement toward sustainable mining practices. Both companies are dedicated to achieving their decarbonization objectives, with Fortescue targeting Real Zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions across its Australian operations by 2030. This partnership supports those goals by transitioning from diesel-powered equipment to electric alternatives.

In July 2024, Komatsu Group, a Japan-based manufacturer of mining equipment, acquired GHH Group for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Komatsu to enhance its portfolio of underground mining products by integrating GHH’s specialized equipment, particularly loaders (LHDs) and articulated dump trucks. This strategic move aims to better meet the diverse needs of customers across various market segments. GHH Group is a Germany-based manufacturer known for its underground mining and tunneling equipment.

In October 2022, Austin, a US-based company specializing in mining equipment design and manufacturing, acquired Mainetec Pty Ltd for US $19.6 million. This acquisition extends Austin's product offerings for Hulk buckets and other products, along with providing plans for product progression across the USA, Canada, and Chile markets. Mainetec Pty Ltd is an Australia-based manufacturer of mining equipment.

The countries covered in the mining machinery and equipment market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Italy, Spain, Canada.

Mining machinery and equipment are characterized as heavy-duty machinery or equipment powered by electricity or diesel, engaged in the excavation, transportation, and processing of commodities such as coal, minerals, and metals.

The primary categories of mining machinery include underground mining machinery, surface mining machinery, drills and breakers, crushing equipment, pulverizing equipment, screening equipment, mineral processing machinery, feed conveyors, stackers, and reclaimers. Pulverizing is the process of reducing minerals into small particles, while crushing involves reducing the size of materials into smaller substances for further processing. Screening is a mechanical process that separates one material from another. These mining machines play a crucial role in the transportation, processing, and excavation processes in coal, minerals, and metals mining.
