Mining Chemicals Market Set to Witness an Uptick during 2019 to 2024
The global mining
chemicals market size is projected to reach at $38.01 BILLION 38.01 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.,
progressing at a CAGR of 6.4% during
the forecast period. Increasing mining activities in various regions are likely
to drive the market over the forecast period.
Raw material supply is a crucial part
of the mining industry. Raw materials used in the production of mining
chemicals are hazardous and are, therefore, delivered in ISO standard
containers only. This results in an increase in the raw material prices, which
in turn is expected to affect final product price.
Increase in demand for minerals with
high purity is poised to be one of the key factors augmenting the market.
Degradation of the quality of ore has boosted the reliance on effective and
efficient methods. Solvent extraction technology is one of the key technologies
used for effective and efficient extraction.
The market is highly competitive with
the presence of a large number of manufacturers operating at the global level
through widespread distribution channel. Ashland
Inc.; The Dow Chemical Company; Chevron Phillips Chemical Company LP; BASF SE;
and ExxonMobil are the major players in the market.

The mining industry has been facing
many challenges due to low quality of ore bodies. Increasing demand for gold
has led to rise in mining activities, which in turn is expected to drive demand
for mining chemicals over the forecast period. For instance, majority players
use cyanide for the extraction of gold from its ore.
Further Key Findings from the Report Suggest:
·
Frothers are estimated to
register a CAGR of 6.0% from 2016 to 2024 owning to surging demand for better
quality of minerals
·
Flocculants are expected to
post a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Water recycled through
flocculants reduces the operating and equipment maintenance cost, which in turn
is estimated to fuel demand for flocculants over the same period.
·
The mineral processing
application segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.2% over the forecast
period owning to increasing demand for minerals
·
Asia Pacific is likely to
exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% during the same period due to growing mining activities
in China
·
China dominated the Asia
Pacific region with a share of 83.9% in the market in 2015. China is one of the
largest producers of the coal, gold, and rare earth metals.
The
mining industry expansion has been moving beyond Asia, to Nigeria, Panama and
Oman. Investors are attracted to mining opportunities in underdeveloped
countries. Countries such as Indonesia and Ukraine have begun their mining and
smelting industries as a response to the Indonesian ban on shipping ore.
The
market is highly competitive in nature and logistics are one of the key
parameters contributing to the final product. Logistics account for
approximately 20.0% of the overall cost or more than that, particularly for
overseas shipments. Distributors have to compulsorily evaluate all the possible
transportation ways in order to deliver the product in the same form that the
consumer needs and to provide economy of scale.
Mining
activities impure the air and water. Acid mine drainage is considered as the
biggest threat to water sources. Mining with acid drainage can have a
long-lasting negative impact on rivers and aquatic life.

Grinding
aids dominated the global market with a market share of over 46.0% in 2015. The
trend is estimated to continue over the forecast period. Increasing focus on
recovery of high quality minerals is likely to be an important factor
supplementing the growth of the segment. Grinding and milling of ores are
essential in recovering valuable minerals.
The
collectors used as mining chemicals include xanthates, dithiophosphates, and
thiocarbamates. Collectors help in the recovery of copper at low pH value. There
are many collectors including copper, lead, soluble, and oily. These collectors
are named based on their chemical structure and group. Xanthates are used to
treat ores such as iron sulfides and penalty elements. Collectors accounted for
a 17.3% of the overall market in 2015.

Flocculants
consist of anionic, cationic, and nonionic polymers. It absorbs particles and
destabilizes them by bridging or charge neutralization. Anionic flocculants
react with the positively charged suspension that results in the production of
salts and metallic hydroxides. Cationic flocculants react with negatively
charged suspensions. Flocculants have major application in industries and
municipalities involved in water treatment
Frothers
were the first reagent used for mineral concentration. Frothers create perfect
hydrodynamic conditions such as gas hold up and bubble size required in the
flotation cell. Increasing importance of frothers in mineral flotation is
poised to work in favor of the market.
