Mining Truck Market Report 2025

This Mining Truck market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.

The mining truck market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.17 billion in 2024 to $31.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increase in global demand for minerals, expansion of mining activities in emerging economies, rise in commodity prices, rise in government investments in mining infrastructure, and the growth of large-scale mining projects.

The mining truck market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.71 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for electric and hybrid trucks, rising mining activities in developing regions, enhanced focus on operational efficiency, growing investments in mining automation, stringent emission regulations, and the expansion of sustainable mining practices. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in autonomous vehicle technology, electrification of trucks, integration of AI for predictive maintenance, enhanced safety features, integration of IoT for real-time monitoring, development of more fuel-efficient engines, and the adoption of lightweight materials for improved durability and efficiency.

The growth of the mining truck market is expected to be driven by the rising demand for minerals. Minerals are crucial for various industries such as manufacturing, technology, construction, and renewable energy, which in turn supports global economic growth. Mining trucks play a key role by transporting large volumes of minerals from extraction sites to processing facilities, enabling efficient and large-scale mineral production. For example, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported in May 2024 that investment in critical mineral development increased by 30% in 2022, following a 20% rise in 2021. The demand for minerals is projected to grow thirtyfold from 2020 to 2040, increasing from 400 kilotons to 11,800 kilotons. This surge in mineral demand is fueling the expansion of the mining truck market.

Companies in the mining truck market are focusing on developing electric dump trucks to cut emissions, reduce operational costs, and improve sustainability. These electric dump trucks are designed to minimize environmental impact by using electric engines, which lower fuel costs and emissions. For instance, in September 2022, Sandvik, a Sweden-based engineering company, introduced the TH660E, an electric dump truck intended for underground mining. This vehicle features advanced Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology, which eliminates exhaust emissions and reduces heat output, offering a greener alternative to traditional diesel-powered trucks. The TH660E provides 630 kW of continuous power for rapid acceleration and efficient operation underground. It also includes a patented AutoSwap system for quick battery changes, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. This electric dump truck is designed to support mining operations in meeting sustainability goals while improving efficiency and safety.

In July 2024, Komatsu Limited, a Japan-based company specializing in mining, forestry, and military equipment, acquired GHH Group GmbH for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Komatsu to utilize GHH's engineering expertise and accelerate the development of new mining truck technologies. By combining GHH’s specialized knowledge with its own resources, Komatsu aims to advance and improve underground mining trucks. GHH Group GmbH is a Germany-based company that manufactures mining trucks, including articulated dump trucks, for use in underground mining and tunneling.

Mining trucks are robust vehicles engineered to transport large volumes of mined materials. These trucks are primarily used in surface mining to move overburden, ore, and other materials from the mining site to processing facilities or waste disposal areas. They are constructed to endure the challenging conditions of mining environments, including rough terrains and substantial loads.

The main types of mining trucks include bottom dump, rear dump, lube, and tow trucks, among others. Bottom dump trucks are specialized for transporting and unloading bulk materials. They are equipped with various drive systems, such as autonomous, electric, and mechanical drives. Their capacities range from less than 90 metric tons to over 290 metric tons. These trucks are used in various applications, including coal mining, iron mining, copper mining, aluminum mining, and other related activities.
