By Application
The global underground mining equipment market has been segmented by application into coal, metal and mineral. Coal underground mining equipment segment held 38.5% share in 2016 and occupied the largest market of underground mining equipment across the globe. Further, the coal segment is believed to dominate the market of underground mining equipment owing to the increasing demand for electricity in various nations over the forecast period.
By Mining
The global underground mining equipment market is divided by mining into longwall extraction, room and pillar extraction and others, out of which, the longwall extraction segment held the largest market share of 61.6% during 2016 and is anticipated to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period. Additionally, longwall extraction underground mining equipment segment is projected to achieve Y-o-Y growth rate of 9.3% in 2024 as compared to previous year. This can be attributed to the high productivity along with continuous enhancement and development of advanced longwall extraction equipment. Further, others underground mining segment is anticipated to achieve absolute $ opportunity of USD 843.0 Million between 2017 and 2024.
The study further incorporates Y-O-Y Growth, demand & supply and forecast future opportunity in North America (United States, Canada), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Rest of LATAM), Europe (U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary, BENELUX [Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg], NORDIC [Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland], Poland, Russia, Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Middle East and Africa (Israel, GCC [Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman], North Africa, South Africa, Rest of Middle East and Africa).
Growth Indicators
Global underground mining equipment market is expected to grow at a remarkable pace in future. The demand for coal and minerals is getting stronger all across the globe owing to the mining activities that are increasing in various countries. Further, the rise in population in urban cities is driving the growth of real estate sector, which is further boosting the demand for metals and energy. The rising demand for energy in economies such as India, China, and others is creating great demand for underground mining equipment in coal mines. These factors are opening new opportunities for the industry players so as to meet the rising demand for underground mining equipment.
Besides, increasing number of infrastructure projects and government initiatives and support across the globe is expected to impact the growth of the underground mining equipment market. In addition to that, automation plays an important role in underground mines. Adoption of remote and tele-remote control technologies, sophisticated machine guidance, fit-for-purpose, reliable one & two-way underground communication, state-of-the-art vehicle collision avoidance and detection systems are the major foundation technologies that are believed to aid the underground mining equipment market to grow in near future.
Barriers
The stringent government regulations to curb the environment pollution are anticipated to negatively impact the growth of market over the forecast period. Apart from this, poor supporting infrastructure and land acquisition issues in developing nations are some of the restraining factors behind the growth of the global underground mining equipment market.
Some of the affluent industry leaders in the global underground mining equipment market are Komatsu Ltd., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., Boart Longyear, thyssenkrupp AG, J.H. Fletcher & Co. Inc., Sandvik AB, Caterpillar Inc., Atlas Copco AB, SANY GROUP and Normet Group.
The industry players such as Caterpillar, Boart Longyear and others are continuously focusing towards the advancement and diversification of their products. Manufacturers are increasingly offering underground mining equipment with better features such as increased efficiency, integrated advanced technologies and more. The expansion of product portfolio will further help the companies to maintain their growth along with gaining competitive edge in the global underground mining equipment market.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
