Report Summary
This study analyzes the world mining equipment industry. It presents historical demand data for the years 2000, 2005 and 2010, and forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by mining application (metal, coal, mineral), equipment type (surface; underground; drills and breakers; crushing, pulverizing and screening; mineral processing), world region and major country. The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles industry players.
World demand to rise 8.5% annually through 2015
The world market for mining equipment is projected to climb 8.5 percent annually through 2015 to $92 billion. Demand will be stimulated by an increase in mining output growth as global manufacturing activity and construction expenditures accelerate in a generally favorable economic climate. Commodity prices are also expected to remain high by historical standards, contributing to a rise in resource exploration and development activity, and associated mining machinery sales. In addition, efforts to increase mechanization of mining operations in the huge Chinese market and boost productivity in high labor cost areas such as Australia and Canada will bolster overall equipment demand.
Asia/Pacific region to remain dominant, grow the fastest
In a continuation of historical trends, the Asia/Pacific region is forecast to register the strongest market advances through 2015, fueled by robust increases in mine production and related machinery sales in China, India and Indonesia. China alone will account for 57 percent of all new mining equipment demand between 2010 and 2015, even though growth is expected to slow significantly. Central and South America will post the second fastest gains, supported by a pickup in manufacturing and construction activity, leading to higher demand for mined materials. The Africa/Mideast region will record the next strongest market advances, followed by North America, Eastern Europe and Western Europe. Mining output and associated machinery sales in all four areas will be spurred by generally healthy economic growth and high commodity prices. In addition, equipment suppliers will benefit from the implementation of Tier 4 emissions standards in the US and Canada and the adoption of Stage IIIB and Stage IV emissions standards in the European Union, raising average product prices and contributing to overall dollar demand.
Metals, coal mining to lead gains in market demand
The market for mining machinery used in metals mining operations, which accounts for the largest share of world sales, is projected to expand at the strongest pace through 2015, bolstered by price-driven increases in resource exploration and mine development activity. Coal mining equipment demand is expected to climb nearly as fast, stimulated by an acceleration in primary metals manufacturing growth, as well as by a pickup in global economic activity and additional population gains, leading to higher demand for coal utilized in heating and electricity generating applications. The world market for nonmetallic mineral mining machinery will rise at a somewhat slower rate, fueled by increases in construction expenditures and ongoing population growth, boosting farming activity and consumption of fertilizer minerals like phosphate rock and potash.
Mining drills, breakers to pace product demand gains
Mining drills and breakers will be the fastest growing product segment, reflecting their near-universal use in settings where breaking through the ground and subsurface materials is required. The second strongest advances will be posted by crushing, pulverizing and screening equipment. Like drills and breakers, these products are widely used in both surface and underground mining, and will benefit from gains in global mining output. Although demand for surface mining machinery will expand at a slower rate, these products will continue to account for the largest single share of equipment demand.

Additional Information
This study analyzes global supply of and demand for mining equipment.
The following products are included:
- crushing, pulverizing and screening equipment used in mining applications
- mineral processing machinery (including beneficiation equipment)
- mining drills and breakers
- surface mining machinery (draglines, excavators and shovels, loaders,mining trucks, etc.)
- underground mining machinery
- mining equipment parts and attachments
Excluded from the scope of the study are certain products that can be used at mining sites and are sometimes considered to be mining equipment, including general purpose material handling and oilfield equipment. Also excluded is used and rebuilt mining machinery of all types. Historical data for 2000, 2005 and 2010 and forecasts to 2015 and 2020 are provided for shipments, demand by product type and by market (coal, metals and minerals mining) and net exports (total) of new mining equipment on a country-by-country basis, valued in millions of current US dollars, including inflation. The term “demand” actually refers to “apparent consumption” and is defined as shipments (also referred to variously as “production,” “output” or “supply”) from a nation’s indigenous mining equipment manufacturing facilities plus imports minus exports. It is used interchangeably with the terms “market,” “sales” and “consumption.” In addition, major mining equipment manufacturers are identified and profiled, and the key competitive variables are discussed. The entire report is framed within the world mining equipment industry’s economic, technological and market environments, and therefore environmental variables affecting mining equipment supply/demand patterns (especially mining output) are emphasized. World mining equipment market share data by company presented in the “Industry Structure” section are estimated based on consultation with multiple sources. In addition, tabular details may not always add to totals due to rounding.
Data on global mining equipment supply and demand are derived from differing sources and developed from statistical relationships. As a result, variations are commonplace in this type of international reporting, and, consequently, data presented in this study are historically consistent but may differ from other sources. Variances may occur because of definitional differences, undistributed exports, inventory accumulation and goods-in-transit.
To reduce the impact of such discrepancies, total world mining equipment imports and exports have been assumed to balance in any given year. Macroeconomic and demographic indicators presented in this study were obtained from The Freedonia Group Consensus Forecasts dated August 2011. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) historical data are derived from the national income and products accounts from the Organisation for Economic Co- Operation and Development (OECD) for its member countries, from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for its member countries, and from the International Monetary Fund for its member countries that are not part of the OECD or EBRD. Sources of GDP estimates for other nations are based on information from the World Bank and a variety of sources including the countries’ statistical bureaus. GDP forecasts are developed from a consensus of public agencies and private firms.
All estimates of gross domestic product and components of GDP are done in terms of constant purchasing power parity in a benchmark year (2009) that is one year before the base year (2010) used in this study. Purchasing power parity GDP estimates for the benchmark year are obtained from the OECD, Eurostat, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the US Central Intelligence Agency and selected other sources. These purchasing power parity GDP estimates for the benchmark year are based on gross domestic product data expressed in the individual nations’ local currency, which are then converted to US dollars by valuing each country’s output at US prices in the benchmark year.
This approach values the same physical output at a consistent price for all nations, thereby reducing the distorting influence of different price levels in the different nations. The alternative approach of using exchange rates to convert local currency GDP to US dollars would tend to overvalue the output of countries with high average price levels and undervalue the output of countries with low average price levels, because exchange rate conversions only partially reflect the relative prices for goods and services that are produced for domestic use. Furthermore, factors other than relative prices — like demand and supply in currency markets, interest rates and capital flows — affect exchange rates. Once the GDP values for a nation are estimated for the benchmark year, we then calculate inflation-adjusted GDP for all other years for that nation
based on historical and forecast growth rates of GDP expressed in inflationadjusted units of its local currency. This approach ensures that the GDP series for any given country is an accurate index of changes in inflation-adjusted GDP for that country. However, it also implicitly assumes that the price structures across nations do not change from those of the benchmark year. Therefore, caution should be used in comparing the relative GDP of countries in years other than the benchmark year. If the ratio of prices across two nations in a given year differs from the ratio of prices across those nations in the benchmark year, then the change in the relative sizes of those two economies as measured will not accurately reflect changes in output.
The benchmark year is chosen to be one year prior to the base year for the study for reasons of data availability. One benefit of that choice is that the ratio of prices across countries in the base year is usually similar to that in the benchmark year. Therefore, the ratio of real GDP between two nations in the base year of 2010 is generally a reasonably accurate representation of the
relative sizes of their economies.
