28.07.2016 - Base metal mining market - infrastructure development activities to be key enabler of growth
Global estimates entail that nearly 40% of the world economy is directly or indirectly affected by the mining industry. Consistent supply of base metals such as copper, zinc, nickel, aluminum, and tin is central to the development of sectors such as infrastructure, construction, manufacturing, transportation, equipment, and utilities. Flourishing growth across these sectors in the past few years, especially in developing regions such as Asia Pacific, is the major demand driver of base metals in the global market. The European Union has significantly increased its investment aimed at the development of the region’s energy infrastructure, to make it more complaint with renewable energy sources, in the past few years. Transportation, construction, and equipment industries, which are some of the principal consumers of a number of base metals, are also expanding at a plausible rate across the globe. (Press Release)
