Mining equipment comprises robust, heavy machinery powered by electricity or diesel engines, utilized for excavating materials. Typically, these machines are transported to the surface for additional processing using skips or lifts. They find application in both underground and opencast mines.
The primary offerings within the mining equipment sector encompass an array of essential tools and machinery. These include mining drills and breakers crucial for drilling into the earth's surface and dismantling rocks for mining purposes. Additionally, the product line extends to encompass crushing, pulverizing, and screening equipment, mineral processing tools, as well as surface and underground mining machinery. Notably, diverse powertrain options such as IC engine vehicles and electric vehicles cater to distinct applications across metal mining, mineral extraction, and coal mining operations.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the mining equipment market by increasing the cost of imported heavy machinery, powertrain components, and advanced control systems used in surface and underground equipment. These effects are most pronounced in crushing, mineral processing, and electric mining equipment segments, particularly across asia-pacific and south america where equipment imports are significant. Higher tariffs have led to increased capital expenditure and delayed fleet upgrades for mining operators. However, tariffs have also encouraged local manufacturing, regional assembly facilities, and supplier localization, supporting domestic equipment production and long-term supply chain resilience.

This 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 mining equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $157.76 billion in 2025 to $169.77 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in coal mining activities, expansion of surface mining operations, demand for higher excavation productivity, increased investments in mineral exploration, mechanization of underground mining.
The mining equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $226.98 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for critical minerals, electrification of mining fleets, automation to reduce labor risks, stricter mine safety regulations, growth in metal mining projects. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of autonomous mining equipment, rising demand for electrified mining machinery, increased focus on safety-enhanced heavy equipment, expansion of high-capacity surface mining equipment, rising use of advanced crushing and processing systems.
The expected increase in infrastructure investment is set to drive the growth of the mining equipment market in the near future. Infrastructure refers to the essential systems and structures that enable the smooth operation of societies, economies, or organizations. Mining equipment heavily depends on solid infrastructure for optimal performance in areas such as transportation, processing, safety measures, environmental management, and community development within mining activities. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, reported that infrastructure investment reached £13.8 billion ($17.25 billion) in constant prices in 2023, marking a 3.9% increase from 2022. This significant rise in infrastructure investment serves as a crucial driver propelling the growth of the mining equipment market.
Prominent players within the mining equipment sector are strategically unveiling cutting-edge solutions, particularly mining machinery offerings, to secure a competitive advantage. Mining machinery products encompass a spectrum of equipment and machinery pivotal in mineral and metal extraction processes from the earth's reserves. Notably, in April 2023, XCMG (Xuzhou Construction Machinery Group Co., Ltd.), a leading Chinese construction machinery enterprise, introduced three groundbreaking innovations such as the XE690DK mining excavator, the XDR80TE-AT autonomous electric dump truck, and the XDE240 mining dump truck. The XE690DK mining excavator integrates an efficient power system, tailored to deliver eco-friendly and energy-conserving solutions for rigorous construction demands. Meanwhile, the XDR80TE-AT autonomous electric dump truck is equipped with a suite of sensors-visual, acoustic, laser radar, millimeter-wave radar, and cameras-ensuring enhanced operational capabilities. Complementing these advancements, the XDE240 mining dump truck features state-of-the-art environmental sensors, coupled with navigation and positioning functionalities.
In July 2024, Komatsu Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturer of construction, mining, and military equipment, acquired GHH Group GmbH for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to leverage combined resources with GHH to strengthen and expand Komatsu's portfolio in underground mining equipment, including loaders (LHDs) and articulated dump trucks, while accelerating new product development. GHH Group GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in the manufacture of underground mining, tunneling, and civil engineering equipment.
