Europe Mining Equipment Market - Industry Size, Opportunity, Growth, Demand, & Forecast To 2027

The European mining industry is among the continent's most modern and innovative industrial sectors. Discovering new deposits, mining, and ore dressing all require primary emphasis on research and development procedures. Various high-level enhanced technologies support European mining exploration, extraction, and beneficiation. The European industry also promotes environmental, health, and safety improvements. The mining industry in Europe is fundamental to the overall economic well-being. Over the past decade, demand for aggregates, industrial materials, and metals has proliferated. Based on these growing demands, Europe is almost self-sufficient in production units. However, Europe is also a net importer of metals and metal ores. In addition to that, Europe is rich in natural resources. Mines are active in countries such as Austria, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Russia, among others. In addition, Finland, Sweden, Bulgaria, and Spain all have gold mines. Finland and Sweden are the top two European gold producers. On the other hand, Tara in Ireland is Europe’s largest zinc mine, which is also one of the largest in global comparison. The presence of significant market players in Europe and the emphasis on coal production are expected to drive market growth in the European mining equipment market.

According to the research report, "Europe Mining Equipment Market Outlook, 2027," published by Actual Market Research, the market is projected to witness prominent market growth during the forecast period, registering a CAGR of 4.51%. Mining, technology, and equipment are essential in the European region. The sector generates tax revenue and employment. Even in the future, there will be no product that does not require mined raw materials. In this regard, manufacturers increasingly rely on eco-friendly and energy-efficient machines and plants. The European mining equipment market is segmented into six major countries: Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, and Russia. Among these countries, Russia is projected to dominate the European market with more than 65% of the market share.

The mineral industry of Russia is one of the world’s leading industries. It also accounts for a large portion of the production sector of mineral products, including metals and mineral fuels. Russia has 22 coal basins with 114 coal deposits scattered across the country. Russia currently has more than 250 operating coal mines, including 104 underground and 137 open-pit mines. In addition, Russia has the world’s second-largest coal and metal reserves, including gold, silver, platinum, nickel, and diamonds. As a business platform, Russia holds the internationally recognized trade show "MiningWorld Russia," which serves the mining and mineral extraction industry. This exhibition connects equipment and technology manufacturers with buyers to enhance the overall industry's performance.

According to the report, the European mining equipment market is segregated into four categories: crushing, pulverizing & screening, mineral processing, surface mining, and underground mining. Surface mining is anticipated to lead the European market during the forecast period with more than 38% of the market share, followed by underground mining. The most significant portion of the mining industry in the European region has been covered by surface miles. Some of the region's most considerable surface mining projects include Belchatow mine, Hambach mine, Aitik mine, Garzweiler mine, Maritsa east mine, Ptolemais south field mine, Welzow-sud mine, Inden mine, etc. On the other hand, the mineral processing category is said to be the fastest growing segment in the European market. Based on the machine's power output, the machine with less than 500 HP output is expected to acquire the largest market share in the European market. However, the 500–2000 HP output segment is rising at the highest growth rate during the forecast period.

Further, the European market is segmented into three applications, including mineral mining, metal mining, and coal mining. Among these types, mineral mining applications are projected to dominate the market during the forecast period with more than 35% market share. Due to innovations and advancements, Europe is becoming a hub for new mining industry opportunities. Using effective equipment, Europe mines more than 42 various metals and minerals, including ornamental stones, sand, and gravel. The situation varies with geography, but resources are plentiful in Europe, boosting the demand for enhanced mining equipment across the region.

Impact of Covid-19 on Europe Mining Equipment Market:
The outbreak of COVID-19 had an unpredictable and immediate impact on the global economy. This impact goes across all industries, including mining. The European region was also heavily impacted due to the pandemic. Significant price drops were observed across larger portions of various sectors in Europe. Due to the lockdown situations and social distancing norms, many production houses remained shut. However, the market is expected to witness prominent growth during the forecast period due to the increasing use of electric machinery in underground mining and the rising demand for metals and minerals in many European industries.
