Surface Mining Market Overview:

“The Surface Mining Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031.”

Surface mining refers to the mining technique where the overlying layer of soil and rock is removed, and excavate the underlying minerals. As compared to underground mining, this method provides better recovery, safety, flexibility, environmental condition,s and grade control ability.

This assures maximum utilization of mines and helps in reducing the processing costs involved in crushing.

Increasing demand for metallic and non-metallic minerals, an abundance of reserves, less capital requirement, and increasing energy consumption are some of the factors that are driving the surface mining market growth.

In addition, advancements in mining technologies, growing concerns among countries regarding energy security, and increasing energy demand act as a major opportunity for the surface mining market.

Moreover, supporting government regulations such as the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act, 1977, and the establishment of safety zone near the mine surface, etc. play an important role in the growth of the target market.

Recent developments, the vast horizontal and ground-level reserves, and surging demand for iron-ore, diamond, chromium, and coal, will gain momentum in the upcoming period.  However, difficulties related to land acquisition act as a restraint in the surface mining market.

Asia Pacific market is projected to dominate the global surface mining market owing to high investment in some economies including China, Indonesia, Australia, and Malaysia.

Governments have been investing high in mineral and metal extraction which is likely expected to propel the demand for surface mining. Moreover, increasing mining activities and growing demand for technically advanced solutions mainly in emerging nations are estimated to fuel the industry in the upcoming period.

Also, stringent government regulations in these markets are forcing mine operators to deploy advanced machinery and equipment to reduce emissions and match safety regulations.

Furthermore, the North American market is estimated to witness rapid growth during the forecast period due to technological advancements and the early adoption of surface mining solutions and services in the region.

Whereas, Latin America and Africa are also expected to observe considerable growth through the forecast period with the growing mining sector.

According to the Mining Association of Canada, in 2014, the total mining establishments in Canada were held to be 1,201, out of which, 1,136 reserves were non-metallic mining establishments. U.S. and Canada are believed to be the major contributor to the growth of the surface mining market in the North American region.
