Supporting services such as fleet diagnostics, predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and training programs have grown in importance, offering long-term value beyond equipment alone. Regulatory requirements are pushing operators to transition toward zero-emission machines and smart mine ecosystems powered by data analytics. Continued growth is also being supported by infrastructure investments and mineral exploration projects. Equipment remains the foundation of underground operations, forming the backbone of ongoing extraction activities.
The equipment segment held a 79.6% share in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.7% through 2034, owing to rising demand for more technologically advanced machinery that supports safer, more productive mining operations. As automation and data integration become more central to underground processes, modern equipment continues to evolve, meeting strict performance and safety benchmarks. While services provide critical support, they are generally complementary and have limited direct influence on the overall output of mining sites.
The coal mining segment held a 37.9% share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% through 2034, attributed to coal's ongoing role as a key energy source in multiple regions. The specialized nature of coal extraction, requiring distinct equipment to operate effectively at significant depths, drives consistent demand for underground mining systems. Increasing regulatory focus on safety and energy efficiency is further prompting operators to upgrade or invest in modern equipment that enhances productivity while meeting compliance standards.
Asia Pacific Underground Mining Equipment & Service Market held 34.1% share and is projected to reach USD 6.8 billion by 2034. The country's shift toward advanced mining practices is transforming the landscape. Government-led initiatives are encouraging the deployment of automation, AI-based monitoring systems, and remote-controlled machinery in coal-producing provinces. Additionally, China's stronghold in processing rare earth materials and critical minerals, particularly in industrial hubs like Baotou, is driving investment and reshaping global supply chains.
