Underground Mining Market
The underground mining market was valued at $23.1 Billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $28.5 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 2.1% from 2024 to 2033
Underground mining involves the extraction of minerals, ores, and other geological materials from the underground surface of the earth. In this form of mining, holes are created on the earth's surface by blasting. On average, underground mining involves digging up to 1,000ft deeper into the Earth's surface. However, for some minerals such as uranium the earth is dug up to an extreme range of 6,500ft.
Surge in the expansion of industrialization and urbanization has boosted the demand for metals & minerals, hence driving the growth of the underground mining market. In addition, scarcity of resources on the upper surface of the earth is increasing the requirement for underground mining to dig deeper and extract resources. The market development is significantly propelled by advancements in technology, including automation and improved ventilation systems. Moreover, real-time monitoring technique is boosting the adoption of innovative mining technologies as the technique ensures improved worker safety and amplified productivity. The trend of AI has assimilated into the operations of underground mining. Mining companies have begun to use the attributes of AI such as data analytics and automation to optimize their operations, reduce downtime, and lower the maintenance costs. AI further facilitates the prediction of geotechnical conditions, assisting the mining companies in decision making regarding risk mitigation.
However, underground mining is a cost-intensive procedure as it requires significant expenditure for different activities such as ventilation, drilling, ground support, and safety measures. This hampers the development of the underground mining market. Furthermore, the market growth is subject to several regulatory measures pertaining to worker safety, environment protection, and resource management. Compliance with these regulations is an intricate and time-consuming process, which delays the development. According to Statista, a global data and business intelligence platform, the net profit margin of the global mining industry has declined from 25% in 2010 to 14% in 2022. Contrarily, explorations in deep-sea mining and advancements in underwater robotics for extraction are poised to open new avenues for the market expansion.
