Mining Machinery and Equipment Market Report 2026

The mining machinery and equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $73.16 billion in 2025 to $77.54 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in global mining activities, expansion of coal and metal extraction, rising demand for heavy construction equipment, increased infrastructure development, mechanization of mining operations.

The mining machinery and equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $101.66 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for critical minerals, increasing adoption of automation in mines, expansion of mineral processing capacities, focus on worker safety improvements, growth in electric vehicle mineral supply chains. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of autonomous and semi autonomous mining equipment, rising demand for high capacity heavy duty mining machinery, growing focus on equipment durability in harsh mining environments, expansion of advanced crushing and mineral processing solutions, increasing emphasis on operational efficiency and productivity in mining.

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 Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturer of construction, mining, and military equipment, acquired GHH Group GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to leverage the combined resources with GHH to enhance and expand Komatsu's underground mining equipment portfolio, including loaders (LHDs) and articulated dump trucks, while accelerating the development of new products. GHH Group GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in the production of underground mining, tunneling, and civil engineering equipment.
