Base Metal Mining Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product (Aluminum, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Zinc, Tin, Tungsten); By End-Use; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032

The global base metal mining market size is expected to reach USD 782.18 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Base Metal Mining Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product (Aluminum, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Nickel, Zinc, Tin, Tungsten); By End-Use; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2023 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Base metal consumption is expected to increase due to the electrical & electronics and automotive industries. Base metals are often used in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic components. For instance, copper has the finest electrical conductivity of all the metals, second only to silver. Copper is the perfect material for use in a range of electrical and electronic applications because of its resistance to corrosion and great thermal conductivity. Thus, it is projected that rising demand for electrical and electronic goods will boost product demand during the forecast period.

As a result of enhanced government efforts to revive the construction and infrastructure industry, it is predicted that consumer spending will increase during the projection year. For instance, in July 2022, the Chinese government announced that it will create a CNY 500 billion (US$ 74.69 billion) national infrastructure investment fund in order to increase infrastructure spending and so stimulate the economy.

China is a major producer and user of basic metals worldwide. The country is home to a variety of producers and end consumers, electronics production is on the rise, construction activity is escalating, and the use of electric vehicles (EVs) is spreading across the country. The market's growth is a result of these and other factors.

In March 2020, the coronavirus outbreak's impacts first started to show. Many standalone enterprises lost between 40 and 50 percent of their market value, while the mining and metals sector's average share price dropped by roughly 10%. From a low level in March 2020 to a high level in April 2020, COVID-19's impact grew quickly. The major companies in the sector, including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, and Anglo American, have all reportedly had partial shutdowns as a result. The sector has thus far almost experienced a production loss of more than 30%.

Base Metal Mining Market Report Highlights

The copper segment had the biggest revenue share in 2022. According to the USGS, there are 880 million tons worth of copper deposits worldwide. In the following years, it is anticipated that demand from the infrastructure and automotive industries will increase copper use all over the world.

Construction led the world market. Base metals are often used in applications connected to architecture, interior design, and building & construction. Base metal demand is expected to rise throughout the projected period as a result of increased investments in the creation of smart cities around the world.

In terms of revenue, Asia Pacific dominates the market in 2022. The dominance is attributable to the area's expanding investments in a number of end-use industries, including electrical & electronics, automotive, and construction. For instance, in August 2022, the administration of the state of Bengal approved five new industrial parks and 18 units costing INR 60 million (about $0.75 million).

Global market players include BHP, Freeport-McMoRan, Inc., Antofagasta Plc, Codelco, Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd., Norilsk Nickel, Vale, Aurubis, Glencore, and Anglo American are a few of the prominent companies active in the international market.
