Pyroxenite Market Trends

Pyroxenite Market Overview

The global pyroxenite market size is projected to be worth USD 156.34 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 4.54% during the forecast period (2022–2030).

Numerous studies are being carried out by scientists and researchers associated with the prevalent characteristics and potential extent of pyroxenite in the future. The broad prospects of the global pyroxenite market suggest an optimistic outlook. Apart from olivine, pyroxenites comprise ferromagnesian minerals, increase in inquisitiveness levels for the mineral among stakeholders is predicted, which will result in significant growth. The burgeoning growth of the building & construction industry is grabbing the attention of stakeholder in the global pyroxenite market. Builders and contractors are increasing efforts to gain a clear understanding of iron & steel building construction techniques to specialize in various end-use cases. Rise in public sector investments in non-residential buildings as well as non-residential structures is also also expected to drive the global pyroxenite market growth.

COVID-19 Impact on the Pyroxenite Market:

The instantaneous spread of COVID-19 has caused considerable disturbance to a wide range of industries across the globe. Some of the major pyroxenite end-users who were enormously hit by the pandemic include the building & construction, automotive, and energy & power industries.

At the start, the outbreak of COVID-19 has immensely impacted the materials supply chains, mining operations, international trade, and production processes across the globe. As a result of a lockdown across geographies, the manufacturing facilities have faced serious troubles. The market players have had to close production facilities or operate the facilities below the optimal manufacturing capacities to stop the spread of COVID-19.

The pandemic has caused short-term and long-term impacts on the workforce and industry. The short-term impacts include suspension of mineral production, loss of wages on account of absenteeism and pandemic restrictions, unemployment, and sale of minerals in the market. In the long-term, the continuity of many mining businesses, the reputation and economic health of industries, new mineral deposit exploration, and new mining complex development have been affected. Post-COVID-19, the pyroxenite market was highly impacted due to major capacity increases and sluggish demand growth. Due to the sudden lockdown scenario amid covid-19, many under-construction projects were left incomplete, which led to severe losses.

Market Dynamics

• Rapid Urbanization, economic growth, and bolstering infrastructural projects

A rise in infrastructure spending includes the creation of a huge demand for private and public sectors infrastructural developments, such as power stations, electricity grids, water supply, and treatment plants, roads, railways, airports, bridges, telecommunications networks, schools, and hospitals. The rapid expansion of building & construction industry in the emerging economies have directly impacted the growth of iron & steel, due to which the pyroxenite market will be impacted significantly.

• Availabity of Close Substitutes

Magnesium rich rocks such as serpentinite, saxonite lherzolite, dunite, peridotite, and enstatitite, constitute ultramafic rocks, which are major substitutes for pyroxenite. Moreover, high extraction costs has hindered the global pyroxenite market growth.

• Increase in Production Capacities and Advancements in Mining Technologies

An increased demand for pyroxenite in several applications had unlocked many opportunities. The use of artificial intelligence in the mining industry has helped companies more easily locate minerals using these high-performance technologies. Artificial intelligence has also led to the popularization of autonomous equipment, such as vehicles like self-driving trucks equipped to navigate narrow tunnels with ease.In order to gain a competitive advantage over other manufacturers, stakeholders are mainly focusing on advancing technologies.

• Challenges related to site-selection

Selection of a suitable pyroxenite processing plant location, near a mine is one of the most important parameters that directly affect the mining process. If this stage executed properly, it can be expected that efficiency will increase and on the other hand costs and destructive effects on the environment will decrease, because of such a successful decision. Factors that effect on plant location include economical, traditional, technological, technical and etc. A failure to this may lead to a challenging situation.
