Surging demand for essential minerals and metals—such as copper, lithium, zinc and rare earths—fuels investments in advanced mining operations and equipment, with the global market valued at roughly USD?156?billion in 2024 . Industrialization, urban expansion, renewable energy initiatives and EV-related mineral extraction drive deployment of high-capacity haul trucks, excavators, drills and crushers across regions. Governments in Asia-Pacific are funding critical minerals exploration and domestic equipment manufacturing via initiatives like India’s INR?500?crore NMET program and Australia’s multibillion-dollar Critical Minerals Facility.

Corporate investments and technological adoption further intensify demand. Epiroc secured a major SEK?215?million equipment order from Hindustan Zinc for trucks and rigs made at its Nashik “Make in India” facility. Meanwhile, Weir Group’s acquisition of Micromine for £657 million strengthens its digital platform suite across mining operations, underscoring heightened demand for digitized, smart machinery .
