Insight
Iron ore material moved falling in China but rising elsewhere
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Total material moved in the iron ore industry will remain stable out to 2025. Consequently, demand for inputs such as explosives and mining equipment should also be flat. But this stability masks differences across markets. We expect a 30% decline in material moved in China's iron ore industry while material moved elsewhere continues to grow. The decrease in China may lead to domestic equipment manufacturers to target international markets in a bid to maintain sales.
