Electric mining equipment refers to machinery and tools used in mining operations that are powered by electricity rather than traditional fossil fuels such as diesel or gasoline. It is used for various tasks in the mining industry for the extraction, processing, and transportation of minerals and ores, offering benefits such as reduced environmental impact, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced safety.
The main types of electric mining equipment are mineral processing equipment, surface mining equipment, underground mining equipment, mining drills and breakers, crushing pulverizing and screening equipment, among others. Mineral processing equipment refers to machinery and equipment used in the extraction, separation, and concentration of minerals from their ores. It provides various solutions, such as products and services, and is used in various applications, including coal mining, gas and oil extraction, metal ore mining, and non-metal mining.
Tariffs are influencing the electric mining equipment market by increasing costs of imported batteries, power electronics, electric motors, and control systems used across surface and underground mining equipment. Mining operations in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported battery and drivetrain components, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on electric equipment manufacturing. These tariffs are increasing capital expenditure for mine electrification. However, they are also supporting domestic battery production, regional equipment assembly, and accelerated innovation in electric mining technologies.

This electric mining equipment market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The electric mining equipment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.54 billion in 2025 to $4.12 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing environmental regulations in mining, rising fuel cost pressures, expansion of underground mining activities, advancements in electric drivetrain technologies, early adoption of electric mining fleets.
The electric mining equipment market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.44 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in zero-emission mining, expansion of renewable-powered mining operations, growing focus on worker safety improvements, rising demand for energy-efficient mining equipment, integration of smart mine management systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of battery-electric mining vehicles, rising deployment of electric underground equipment, growing integration of autonomous electric mining systems, expansion of charging and power infrastructure, enhanced focus on emission-free mining operations.
The expanding mining industry is expected to drive the growth of the electric mining equipment market going forward. The mining sector encompasses activities related to the exploration, extraction, processing, and transportation of valuable minerals, metals, and other geological materials from the earth's crust. Growth in this sector is fueled by factors such as rising global population and expanding economies, which increase demand for minerals, metals, and fossil fuels. Electric mining equipment is used across various stages of mining, including excavation, loading, material handling, and support tasks, to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and improve safety. For instance, in January 2024, data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS), a U.S.-based government agency, reported that U.S. mines produced approximately $105 billion worth of nonfuel mineral commodities in 2023, reflecting continued expansion in mining activities compared with previous years. Therefore, the growing mining industry is fueling the growth of the electric mining equipment market.
Major companies operating in the electric mining equipment market are concentrating on new innovative products, such as the XES35, a next-generation super 35m3 electric shovel excavator for open pit mining to leverage advancements and address market demands. This excavator, also known as a power shovel, is an excavator equipped with a shovel bucket that is attached to a hinged boom and is drawn backward to move earth. It is used for excavating and loading earth or fragmented rock in various mining and construction applications. For instance, in July 2023, Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co. Ltd., a China-based construction machinery company, introduced the XES35, a next-generation super 35m3 electric shovel excavator for open pit mining. This electric shovel excavator is designed to excel in efficiency, sustainability, and safety, making it suitable for large-scale open-pit mining operations. It comes with a 35-m3 shovel bucket that can load about 65 tons of ore each time, and it is designed to be deployed for mining. Additionally, it provides advantages, including intelligent operation, sustainability and green operation, reliability and high availability, operational comfort and safety, and low comprehensive use costs.
In July 2024, Epiroc AB, a Sweden-based mining and construction equipment manufacturer, acquired the remaining 66% stake in ASI Mining for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Epiroc aimed to fully integrate advanced autonomous and remote-operation technologies into its mining equipment portfolio, enhancing its capabilities in autonomous and electrified mining solutions to boost productivity, safety, and reduce emissions. ASI Mining is a United States-based autonomous mining solutions company specializing in OEM-agnostic automation systems for remote control, teleoperation, and fully autonomous mining vehicle operations across both surface and underground applications.
