例如，根据国营矿业公司NMDC公布的资料，7月铁矿石产量较去年同月增加19%至244万吨，销售量成长2.7%至3.03吨。

2023 年 7 月，钢铁部旗下的 Navratna 矿商国家矿产开发公司 (NMDC) 宣布产量破纪录。根据钢铁部公告，光是7月份，该矿业公司就销售铁矿石303万吨，生产244万吨，季增2.7%和19%。

钢铁生产需求不断成长

近 98% 的开采铁矿石用于生产钢铁，使其成为炼钢的必要组成部分。铁矿石的需求受到钢铁需求的强烈影响，因为钢铁是许多不同行业的适应性强且必不可少的材料。建筑物、桥樑、道路、铁路和其他基础设施项目都需要钢铁，这对于基础设施的建设和发展至关重要。全球基础设施项目和不断发展的城市化推动了钢铁需求，进而推高了铁矿石价格。

例如，印度财年上半年国内钢铁消费大幅成长，显示印度製造业儘管面临外部挑战，但仍在快速扩张。

钢铁部最新统计显示，24财年4月至9月的钢材消耗量较上年同期增加15%至6,400万吨。 2023 财年上半年钢铁消费量从 2021 财年上半年的 49.7 吨增加 11.5% 至 55 吨，当时该国经历了第二波 COVID-19 大流行。

资源枯竭

高品位铁矿石储量的持续枯竭被称为资源枯竭，它会严重阻碍全球铁矿石开采市场的扩张。随着容易开采的高品位铁矿石储量减少，矿业公司可能必须搬到品位较低的矿石或更偏远的地方。较高的开采成本通常是由于开采低品位矿石时需要更彻底的加工和选矿而导致的。

每开采一吨矿石，开采低品位铁矿石通常会导致产量较差和开采成本更高。这可能会影响矿业公司的利润率，特别是如果铁矿石市场价格没有上涨以抵消更高的生产成本的话。

技术和营运挑战

使用创新的采矿技术需要大量的财政支出。某些矿业公司可能会发现很难分配大量财务资源来升级机械、自动化和数位技术整合。使用尖端技术需要具备维护和操作复杂设备所需技能的人员。在过渡阶段，可能很难找到和培训能够适应新技术的合格员工，这可能会导致营运问题。

许多铁矿石资源都存在于偏僻或难以到达的地方。在这些地区，包括电力供应、铁路和公路在内的基础设施的建设和维护可能成本高昂，且在后勤方面具有挑战性，从而降低营运效率。
