Mining Chemicals Market- Segmentation


The global mining chemicals market is segmented on the basis of the product, mineral type, and application.


The global mining chemicals market is segmented on the basis of the product as grinding aids, flocculants, frothers, collectors, solvent extractant, scale inhibitors, and others.


Based on the mineral type, the market is segmented into base metals, non-metallic metals, precious metals, and rare earth metals.


By the application, the global mining chemicals market is segmented into mineral processing, explosives & drilling, water & wastewater treatment, and others.


Key Players


Some of the manufacturers operating in the global mining chemicals market are Ashland (U.S.), The Dow Chemical Company (U.S.), Chevron Philips Chemical Company (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), Exxon Mobil Corporation (U.S.), Cytec Solvay Group (U.S.), NALCO (India), Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (U.S.), 3M (U.S.), Cheminova A/S (Denmark), Akzo Nobel N.V. (Netherlands), SNF Group (U.S.), Nasco (U.S.), Clariant (Switzerland), and Huntsman International LLC (U.S.).

Market Synopsis:


Mining chemicals are used in the mining sector to improve productivity and the efficiency of processes such as extraction, flotation, grinding, separation, and others. Some of these chemicals include cyanide, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, ammonium nitrate, gasoline, and acetylene.


The global mining chemicals market is primarily driven by the increasing investments in mining projects in the Asia Pacific. This growth can be attributed to the high demand for mining chemicals in industrialization and infrastructure development. The decreasing concentration of minerals in upper layers is leading to the exploration of deeper lying deposits involving complexities, thereby, increasing the demand for grinding aids and other mining chemical products. The increasing mining sector in Eastern Europe and Africa and the growing use of mining chemicals in water & wastewater treatment in the Asia Pacific is expected to offer significant opportunities over the assessment period. However, the environmental impacts of mining chemicals are a major challenge for the market growth. These chemicals are toxic and therefore are regulated under REACH, OSPAR Convention, and Industrial Chemicals Act. Nevertheless, countries such as Indonesia and Ukraine have started developing mining and smelting industries owing to the ban on exports of ore in Southeast Asia. The development trends observed in the market include expansion, and acquisitions, which are expected to fuel the market growth further. For instance, in December 2015, Solvay acquired Cytec to deliver cost synergies and capture significant business opportunities in advanced light-weighting materials for the aerospace and automotive industries and in specialty chemicals for mining. Apart from this, Clariant acquired specialty reagents business of SNF GloMin Inc. in October 2016. Furthermore, Clariant announced to expand their mining specific product innovations and technical expertise in Mexico in 2017.

Regional Analysis


The global mining chemicals market is segmented into five regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa.


Asia Pacific accounts for the largest market share both in terms of value and volume owing to the increasing mining activities in countries such as China, India, and Japan. The demand for mining chemicals is increasing due to the necessity of water treatment in the region. The use of these chemicals in limestone grinding for cement production is likely to drive the global market over the forecast period 2017-2023.


North America is the second largest region in the global mining chemicals market on account of the high demand for mining chemicals for limestone grinding in the U.S. The increasing demand for battery metals in electric cars is likely to fuel the demand for mining chemicals in the coming years.


The growing mining sector in Eastern European regions such as Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and others is anticipated to propel the market growth in the European region.


The African mining industry is expected to witness a significant growth being the largest producers and exporters of platinum, copper, iron ore, uranium, and others.
