Summary and extracts
1 Synthèse du marché
1.1 Introduction
The mineral extraction market refers to the industry involved in extracting various types of minerals found in the country. This activity is of fundamental importance to various sectors, including manufacturing, construction, energy and agriculture. The products included in the market are divided into:
- Ferrous minerals: This category includes iron and its ores, such as hematite, magnetite, and siderite. Iron is a key element in the steel industry and is used in steel production. Mining of iron ores is of great importance to the manufacturing and construction sectors.
-
Nonferrous minerals: This category includes a wide range of minerals that do not contain iron, but are equally essential to various industries. Some examples of nonferrous minerals mined in Italy are:
- Copper: Used mainly in the electrical and electronics industries, as well as in the production of cables, electrical conductors and data transmission equipment.
- Zinc: Widely used in the chemical industry, galvanization, battery production, and metal alloy production.
- Lead: Used in the battery industry, paint production, automotive and chemical industries.
- Aluminum: Used in the aerospace industry, the transportation sector, packaging production, and the construction industry for its lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.
Mineral mining in Italy has a mixed history and currently focuses mainly on industrial materials. There are about eighty mines in the country that extract minerals such as cement marl, ceramic minerals, minerals for industrial use, and rock salt. These materials are important for various industries and contribute to Italian exports. However, the mining sector faces challenges such as environmental constraints and red tape, which could lead to dependence on imports. Metalliferous mines, in particular, suffered a crisis in the 1970s and 1980s due to rising production costs and competition from developing countries. Despite this, some industrial mineral mines still operate in Italy, both open-pit and underground.[Ilsole24ore]
The global mining market is estimated at $2022.6 billion in 2022 . Between 2022 and 2027, the global market is expected to reach $2775.5 billion through a compound annual growth rate(CAGR) of 6.7 percent.[Thebusinessresearchcompany]
