Mining Lifting Equipment Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis By Type (Scissor Lift, Articulated Lift, Others), By Application (Original Equipment Manufacturer, Aftermarket) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Mining lifting equipment can be defined as equipment and equipment used in various heavy-duty applications to lift other machinery and products produced by mining activities. These devices reduce the workload and human error when lifting and transporting products and other machinery from one specific location to another.

Mining lifting equipment is mainly used for underground and open-pit mining operations. In addition, they are also used in lifting and lifting operations in the construction industry. The demand for cranes and cranes from the mining industry continues to increase. Due to the increase in industrialized activities, the need for products from the mining and construction industry is expected to drive the demand for mining equipment during the forecast period. Lifting machinery has a wide range of applications. This ease of use is driven by its ability to minimize human workloads, lift heavy objects to heights, and help minimize damage caused during material handling.

• In September 2021, Sandvik Mining RSA appointed RGM Cranes to develop 19 single overhead and double girder cranes of 3 to 30 ton capacity for the South African Kempton Park facility. These cranes have high cost-performance efficiency.


• In September 2021, Summit Truck Bodies showcased its latest technological advancement in mining cranes and lifting equipment. The Advanced Safety Electronics (ASE) Phase 4 crane control system with robust sensors and switches that extend durability and reliability is considered a technological breakthrough in the field.

The mining lifting equipment market faces some challenges that may slow its growth. A large amount of initial capital investment, installation, integration, high cost of ownership, and other factors are the main limitations in this market. This restriction can affect small businesses. These companies find it difficult to own these machines for their small-scale production lines. Similarly, high maintenance costs, parts replacement, software updates, and various other factors also add to your high cost of ownership. These may limit the market growth.

• According to Cummins Inc., the world's top 40 mining companies' capital expenditure is USD 78 billion. The shift towards mining rare earth elements and technology metals is likely to increase capital expenditure.

Due to a strong mining market in the US and Canada, North America is one of the leading markets for mining equipment. These two countries together occupy a significant part of the mining industry. Several of the world's active mineral exploration sites are only in Canada. The United States and Canada jointly own a large portion of the internationally active mineral exploration sites. The two countries are in a leading position compared to other countries in producing some essential mineral products.

• According to Natural Resources Canada, the 2019 expenditure of Canada on mining was CAD 2.3 billion. This expenditure reduced in 2020 to CAD 2.1 billion but is expected to increase to CAD 2.9 billion in 2021. Canada mainly mines precious metals, especially gold.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE MINING LIFTING EQUIPMENT MARKET

The mining lifting equipment market is expected to take a significant amount of time before recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the slowdown of mining activities all over the world.

• The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) stated that its free-market commodity price index (FMCPI) lost 1.2% of its value in January 2020, 8.5% in February 2020, and 20.4% in March 2020. This signified the degree of extent of the plummeting commodity and fuel prices due to the pandemic.

Although the mining industry is slowly building back due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and restarting of mining activities, mining lifting equipment demand is anticipated to rise moderately. The increasing efforts of various governments to mine rare earth elements are anticipated to propel market growth.

ANALYSIS BY TYPE

According to the type, the mining lifting equipment market is divided into scissors, articulated, and other lifts. The articulated or boom lift segment has the most significant size on the market. Scissor lifts are most often used in manufacturing and industrial settings. These notable risers are supported by crisscross brackets that extend upward. Generally, scissor lifts move only up and down. A boom lift, on the other hand, offers greater flexibility than scissor lifts. This is because it is supported by a hydraulic arm that can overcome obstacles. Boom lifts can also be extended to higher altitudes.

REGIONAL ANALYSIS

Due to significant industry growth, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the mining lifting equipment market during the forecast period. Due to the significant investment in mining activities in the region, the Asia-Pacific is the most profitable market. Increasing demand for metals and minerals in developing economies such as India and China has complemented growth in the region. The region is the world's leading producer of forklifts and is expected to maintain its position during the forecast period. Lifting machinery sales in the Asia-Pacific region will be affected by the recovery in the mining industry. The Asia-Pacific region ranks second in output and first in consumption. In addition, government support and increasing attention to worker safety have increased mining lifting equipment in the area.
