稀土金屬探勘活動的增加推動歐洲採礦化學品市場
稀土金屬以其獨特的性能而聞名,在不同行業中有著廣泛的應用,包括電子、再生能源、汽車、國防和航空航太以及醫療設備。這些產業對稀土金屬的需求不斷成長,推動了探勘新礦床的需求。 2023年1月,瑞典國營礦業公司LKAB宣佈在該國北部地區發現了超過100萬噸稀土氧化物。它是歐洲已知最大的礦床。
成功的探勘結果和確定經濟上可行的稀土金屬礦床可以導致擴張業務。在開始採礦作業之前,需要進行大量的場地準備和基礎設施開發。這包括清理植被、平整地形、建造通道和建立採礦設施。這些活動中使用採礦化學品來清理土地、塑造地形和建造通道,促進稀土金屬礦場的開發。
此外,稀土金屬通常嵌入堅硬的岩層中,這使得它們的提取具有挑戰性。稀土金屬的探勘活動涉及廣泛的鑽探和爆破,以提取礦物樣本並了解礦床的可行性。採礦化學品對於分解岩石和促進進入礦產豐富地區至關重要。隨著公司從探勘轉向生產,對採礦化學品的需求不斷增加,以支持更大規模的採礦活動。因此,稀土金屬探勘活動的不斷成長將為預測期內的採礦化學品市場提供利潤豐厚的機會。

Rising Exploration Activities of Rare Earth Metals Drive Europe Mining Chemicals Market
Rare earth metals are known for their unique properties and have various applications across different industries, including electronics, renewable energy, automotive, defense & aerospace, and medical equipment. The growing demand for rare earth metals from these sectors has propelled the need to explore their new deposits. In January 2023, the state-owned mining firm in Sweden, LKAB, declared that it had found over one million tons of rare earth oxides in the country's northern region. It is the largest known deposit in Europe.
Successful exploration results and identifying economically viable rare earth metal deposits can lead to expansion operations. Before commencing mining operations, extensive site preparation and infrastructure development are required. This includes clearing vegetation, leveling terrain, constructing access roads, and establishing mining facilities. Mining chemicals are employed in these activities to clear land, shape terrain, and build access routes, facilitating the development of mining sites for rare earth metals.
Further, rare earth metals are often embedded within hard rock formations, making their extraction challenging. The exploration activities for rare earth metals involve extensive drilling and blasting to extract mineral samples and access the viability of deposits. Mining chemicals are crucial in breaking down rocks and facilitating access to mineral-rich areas. As companies move from exploration to production, the demand for mining chemicals escalates to support larger-scale mining activities. Thus, the growing exploration activities of rare earth metals would offer lucrative opportunities for the mining chemicals market during the forecast period.
Europe Mining Chemicals Market Overview
According to the European Commission, major mining areas in Europe are located in the Fennoscandian belt in northern Finland and Sweden, Bergslagen (Sweden), the Variscan Belt of Iberia, and the Central European Kupferschiefer mineral belt. As per the World Mineral Production report by the British Geological Survey published in 2023, the production of refined lead in the UK grew from 342.8 thousand metric tons in 2019 to 362.6 thousand metric tons in 2021. The report also revealed the rising chromium production in Finland and Russia. The production of fluorspar increased from 160.0 thousand metric tons in 2019 to 236.5 thousand metric tons in 2021.
There are more than 2,000 active mines and quarries in the UK, producing a wide range of minerals, coal, and aggregates. In June 2023, the Norwegian government announced its plans to approve commercial seabed mining operations to decrease dependency on the oil & gas industry. Further, in September 2023, Russia commenced the Udokan project, a copper concentrate production at an underdeveloped copper deposit in Russia. Mining of many minerals such as copper, tin, bauxite, iron, gold, and nickel, involves the utilization of mining chemicals. The lucrative mining industry in Europe is expected to create potential business opportunities for the mining chemicals market in Europe during the forecast period.
