Rising Investment on Iron Ore Mining to Spur the Global Iron Ore Mining Market

Published: May 2023

The global iron ore mining market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. The rising investment on iron ore mining projects to increase iron ore production is a key factor driving the growth of the global iron ore mining market. For instance, in February 2023, Brazilian miner Vale SA announced to increase its production of high-grade iron ore agglomerates in coming years as it sees the average premium for better quality rising in a tightening market. Its output of high-grade agglomerates is set to reach 50 million to 55 million tonnes in 2026, up from 32 million in 2022, before jumping to about 100 million tonnes post-2030. Iron ore supply is set to “stay tighter for much longer, noting that some 400 million tonnes of depletion would require replacement by 2030, while licensing becomes more complex due to more stringent environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards.

Further, in November 2022, NMDC Ltd. announced to invest nearly Rs 900 crore ($1.0 billion) in the next two to three years to ramp up iron ore production from seven million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 10 million tonnes, from its Kumaraswamy mines in Karnataka. In August, the Supreme Court raised the ceiling limit of iron ore mining from 28 MMT (million metric tonne) to 35 MMT for Ballari district, and from 7 MMT to 15 MMT for Chitradurga and Tumkur districts in Karnataka.
