Key Takeaways
- In recent years, the average copper ore grade has drastically decreased, falling from 0.9% (2019) to 0.7% (2021). The reason behind the decline of mineral ores is the rapid aging of mineral resources. Since more chemicals are needed to recover the desired mineral, the requirement for mining flotation chemicals rises as ore grades deteriorate.
- In addition to that, approximately 20% of the total cost of chemicals is expected to be accounted for by logistics, which is known as the primary growth driver for the mining flotation chemicals market. Surging transportation costs and bulky import taxes have resulted in causing mining flotation chemicals, especially chemical reagents used to enhance mineral grade, to fluctuate in price.
- It is vital for the mining sector to adopt environmentally friendly techniques due to the rising environmental concerns, which has resulted in the decline in demand for mining flotation chemicals internationally.
- Prominent chemical companies that are involved in mining flotation are presently concentrating on understanding enhanced floatation collector responses to several mineralogy species. A trend has been recently seen in the global mining flotation chemicals market towards the development of novel frothers.
- Mining floatation chemical industries are focusing on improving their understanding of how flotation collectors react to several mineralogy species and customizing collector combinations in order to enhance complicated ore processing efficiency. Manufacturers are working to have a better grasp of consumer wants in order to supply customized reagents.
