The global green mining market grew from $8.94 billion in 2022 to $9.63 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The green mining market is expected to grow to $13.65 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.1%.
The green mining market consist of sales of solar panels, wind power and others that utilizes minerals and metals which helps a transition to low-carbon technologies.Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and retailers) or directly to end customers.
The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.
Green mining is using technologies to decline carbon emissions in operations and mitigate adverse environmental impacts in mining.
Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the green mining market in 2022.North America is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period.
The regions covered in the green mining market report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.
The main types of green mining are surface and underground.Surface green mining is a method of extracting minerals near the surface of the Earth.
There are two principal types of surface mining, including strip mining and open-pit mining.These green mining services are of various technology types, such as power reduction, emission reduction, water reduction, and others.
Different applications, such as mining and exploration geology, use green mining.
Increasing demand for surface mining techniques is driving the growth of the green mining market.For several reasons, surface mining is often preferred over underground mining by mining companies.
The surface mining technique is less expensive and also a safe method of mining.Surface mining comprises five sub-types: strip mining, open-pit mining, dredging, high-wall mining, and mountaintop removal.
For instance, in 2022, according to Intech Open, Open pit mining had higher productivity, lower productions costs and more safe and hygienic environment which made it more preferable over underground mining. Therefore, the increasing demand for surface mining techniques drives the green mining market rapidly.
Technological advancement is a key trend gaining popularity in the green mining market.New product brands are the pillars of further development and are not only eco-friendly but also eco-effective.
It will create a green, healthy, and productive ecosystem of stakeholders that produces eco-friendly products to meet customer needs.For instance, in 2020, Tata Steel launched a new product, GalvaRoS-GP.
Regular Spangle Product was designed to meet the needs of customers for galvanised steel sheets and coils that are eco-friendly, have superior corrosion resistance, are available in custom sizes, and provide a better return on investment.GalvaRoS is 100% RoHS compliant and offers product authenticity.
This customised product gives the customers a better offer and ROI while strictly adhering to the BIS standards.
