Mining Chemicals Market Breakdown – by Region

The Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific are witnessing an increase in mining activities due to the discovery of new mineral deposits, growing infrastructure developments, and increasing demand for minerals and resources. According to the Mineral Council of South Africa, South Africa's mineral production achieved a fresh record high of US$ 72.1 billion in 2022, up from US$ 67.2 billion in 2021. The adoption of advanced mining technologies, such as automation and digitization, improves efficiency and environmental sustainability in mining operations globally. According to the World Bank, production of graphite, lithium, and cobalt is expected to rise by ~500% by 2050 to meet the growing demand for clean energy technologies. In November 2023, Exxon Mobil Corporation announced the commencement of its first phase of lithium production in the Arkansas lithium deposits in North America. In November 2023, Atlantic Lithium Limited reported progress in the development of the Ewoyaa Lithium Project, West Africa. Governments and organizations in countries such as Australia, China, the Czech Republic, Portugal, the US, Canada, and others are actively promoting exploration and mining activities. The expansion activities and rising investments in the mining sector drive the growth of the mining chemicals market.

Orica Ltd, Kemira Oyj, BASF SE, Clariant AG, Dow Inc, AECI Ltd, Nouryon Chemicals Holding BV, Betachem Pty Ltd, Solvay SA, and Arkema SA are among the players operating in the global mining chemicals market. Players operating in the global market focus on providing high-quality products to fulfill customer demand. Also, they focus on adopting various strategies such as new product launches, capacity expansion, partnerships, and collaborations to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in October 2023, BASF SE mining solutions launched two new product brands—Luprofroth and Luproset—to complement its growing flotation portfolio. Luprofroth is for growing frothers, whereas Luproset is for flotation modifiers. These brands aim to communicate the company's flotation portfolio clearly and consistently, demonstrating its commitment to innovation and becoming a full solution provider for the mining industry. Also, in December 2021, Solvay expanded its Mount Pleasant facility in Tennessee due to increasing demand for its ACORGA and ACORGA OPT copper solvent extraction products. The copper market is expected to grow, particularly in construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, and automotive applications. In December 2021, Solvay launched an exclusive digital knowledge hub, the Mining Chemicals Handbook, which provides 24/7 access to relevant mining chemical application information.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Mining Chemicals Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the status of the chemicals & materials sector and hindered the mining chemicals market growth. The implementation of measures to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus has aggravated the situation and restrained the growth of various industries.
