China Underground Mining Equipment Market Outlook 2025: Opportunity Assessment and Demand Analysis, Market Forecast, 2017-2025

Market Overview

The market for underground mining equipment in China has witnessed growth in recent years to widespread industrialization and urbanization, causing a hike in the demand for minerals. The mining and minerals industry in China is very large; the country is among the top producers and consumers of coal and several other minerals in the world. Growth in these industries translates into growth in demand for equipment used in mining. Underground mining equipment is the largest segment of mining equipment, accounting for majority of the market share.

A rising need to use latest equipment with cutting edge technology is being felt by mining companies across the country, further fuelling demand for these equipments. Demand is majorly fulfilled by domestic suppliers of mining equipment. With rapid technological developments and substantial research and innovation, Chinese manufacturers have increased their capability to manufacture high tech, state of the art equipment for underground mining.

However, mine safety in China continues to be an issue. Mining hazards claim a vast multitude of lives every year. China has the highest coalmine accident mortality rate in the world. Moreover, mechanization rates of mines in the country are low. An increase in safety expenditure on mining sites and a rise in mine mechanization rates could potentially increase the demand for sophisticated equipment manifold, further bolstering the market in coming years.
