The Global Mining Chemicals Market was valued at US$ 24.5 billion in 2019. Rising demand for minerals, expanding building and construction industry, increased demand for mining chemicals for water and wastewater treatment, and lowering quality of mineral ores are the major forces driving the growth of the global mining chemicals market. Primarily used during mining process, the mining chemicals play an important role in mineral extraction and processing. The global mining chemicals market is highly competitive in nature with participation of global, regional and local players. Mining chemical are hazardous for environment and human workers and thus production and handling of mining chemical is strictly governed by stringent regulations. OSPAR convention, Industrial Chemicals Act., and Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) governs the production, handling and use of mining chemicals as well as raw materials used for producing mining chemicals.
The mining activities have increased significantly during past decade and have contributed towards the growth of mining chemicals market across the globe. Lower quality of ores and complex ore bodies are difficult to process. This demands more mining chemical per ore weight, thereby fueling the growth of the global mining chemicals market. Another factor driving the growth of the global mining chemicals market is rising demand for metals such as gold, platinum, and coper and other minerals. The waste water generated from mining process is hazardous to natural waterbodies and thus purification is required before discharging the waste into the waterbodies. This is expected to drive the growth of global mining chemicals market in coming years. However, the growth is expected to be stunted in coming years due to disruption in mining activities globally amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Asia Pacific contributed the largest share to the global mining chemicals market and is expected to be a dominating region throughout the forecast period. Expanding mining activities across China and other East Asian countries fueled by increased demand for minerals and metals is expected to contribute towards the growth of the Asia Pacific mining chemicals market during the forecast period. North America is expected to hold significant share of the global mining chemical market during forecast period owing to expansion of mining activities across the United States and Canada.
