Market Insight
Mining chemicals are the chemicals used for the processing
of minerals or metal ores extracted from the natural deposits by mining. The mining industry requires high amounts of chemicals to extract and process resources,
including a variety of concentration and refining processes. Mining chemicals
are used in various mining phases such as ore extraction, benefaction, and
tailings disposal. The most common chemicals used in the mining industry are
cyanides, heavy metals, sulfuric and nitric acids. The mining chemicals
available are divided into several categories such as sulphide collectors,
collectors for oxides and non-metallic minerals, frothers, modifiers,
flocculants, dewatering aids, and solvent extraction and ion exchange reagents.
The demand for metals for the production of goods that modern society needs have increased drastically over the past few decades. Thereby, increasing the extraction to meet those demands. Additionally, the rising infrastructural development also creates demand for metals that in turn boosts the mining chemicals market. In addition, diminishing ore grades of mines worldwide has increased the production of mining and mineral industries resulting in the growth of the mining chemicals market. Modern mineral exploration is driven largely by technology. The technological advancements in the mining industry have increased the production of minerals manifold. Analyzing only copper mines, the average ore grade has decreased approximately by 25% in the last ten years, but the total production has increased by 30% in the same period.
Growing environmental concerns increases pressure on mining
industries to treat wastewater released from the industries. The mining and
mineral processing industry is highly dependent on water for all aspects of
their operations. The wastewater treatment utilizes mining chemicals, thus
driving the mining chemicals market. The increased enforcement of regulations
and maintaining legislation to protect the environment and health restrain the
growth of the mining chemicals market. Chemicals used in mining and processing
minerals contaminate the land, water, and air, causing health problems for
workers and people living near mines. However, the emergence of eco-friendly
mining processes that eliminate the use of toxic mining chemicals also act as
a challenge for the growth of the mining chemicals market. Moreover, the
expansion of mining to more regions such as Africa and South America provides
opportunities for the growth of the mining chemicals market.
Among the geographies, Asia Pacific dominates the mining
chemicals market and is expected to remain dominant over the forecast period.
Russia, Australia, China, and India are among the leading countries in the
mining sector that promote the growth of mining chemicals in the Asia- Pacific
region. North America is also a dominant region owing to the well-established
mining sector in countries such as the U.S. and Canada. Europe is the fastest growing region in the mining
chemicals market owing to the presence of global mining houses such as Rio
Tinto Group, BHP Billiton, and Anglo American PLC. Rest of the world regions
such as Africa and South America has huge reserves of gold, cobalt and other
industrial metals. Thus, the rest of the world regions are expected to grow at
a significant rate in the mining chemicals market.
