The Mining industry is one of the major end-users of energy. Oil and gas mining, mineral mining, and metal mining require large amounts of energy. In addition, energy costs are expected to account for more than 10-15 percent of the total production cost in the Mining industry.

Hence, several mining equipment vendors have started developing energy-saving equipment. Also, the energy-saving policies implemented by the governments of various countries are creating a need for advanced energy-saving technologies.

Hence, the demand for energy-saving equipment in the Mining industry for transportation, excavation, washing, and screening processes is on the rise. This will have a positive impact on the growth of the Global Mining Equipment market.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the increase in mining activities in the global scenario. The market is experiencing huge market potential in countries such as Russia, Australia, Canada, China, India, South Africa, and Brazil.
