DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/sqh2dc/mining_chemicals) has announced the addition of the "Mining Chemicals Market - Global Industry Analysis 2013-2019: Frothers, Flocculants, Collectors, Solvent Extractants, Grinding Aids and Others)" report to their offering.
Mining chemicals are an important aspect of mining industry and used in a broad range of applications. The commercial applications of mining chemicals include mineral processing, explosives and drilling water and wastewater treatment and others. The revenue generated by the global mining chemicals market was USD 18,000.9 million in 2012.
Mining chemicals used as grinding aids accounted for the largest share of the mining chemicals market in terms of volume with over 29.0% share of total volume consumed in 2012. Mining chemicals used for collectors was the second largest product segment of mining chemicals followed by flocculants, frothers, solvent extractants and others. The mining chemicals industry exhibits a moderate degree of forward integration as few of mining chemicals producers are also engaged in downstream activities. This forward integration gives these participants a distinctive competitive advantage in terms of better customer retention and market demands.
The demand for mining chemicals mainly stems from the decreasing ore grades across various mines globally. Decreasing ore grades have compelled the mining industries to further increase mineral processing activities in order to extract minerals economically. Profitability is hampered to a large extent due to decreasing grades of ores. Demand for minerals is influenced by economic development and consumption trends in the particular region. Thus, increase in economic activities needs to be complimented with an equivalent rise in providing basic minerals. Requirement of more complex mining chemicals stems from the need to maintain the cost associated with mining. Countries from Asia Pacific, Latin America and MENA have recently undertaken various infrastructure projects, which are expected to further increase the demand for minerals and subsequently mining chemicals.
