What are the Key Trends Driving the Mining Flotation Chemical Market?

Declining Ore Quality Consolidate the Demand in Mining Flotation Chemicals Market

Over the past few years, the average copper ore grade has drastically decreased, falling from 0.9% (2019) to 0.7%. (2021) Mineral ores' grade is declining due to aging mineral resources. As more chemicals are needed to recover the desired mineral, the need for mining flotation chemicals rises as ore grades deteriorate.

Further, around 20% of the total cost of chemicals is accounted for by logistics, which is the primary growth driver for the mining flotation chemicals market. Increasing transportation costs and hefty import taxes have caused mining flotation chemicals, especially chemical reagents used to enhance mineral grade, to fluctuate in price.

The mining sector must adopt environmentally friendly techniques as a consequence of growing environmental concerns, which has led to a decline in demand for mining flotation chemicals internationally.

Demand for Collectors to Push Mining Flotation Chemicals Market

Chemical companies involved in mining flotation are presently concentrating on understanding improved flotation collector responses to various mineralogy species. The market for mining flotation chemicals has recently seen a trend toward the development of novel frothers. In addition to improving bubble strength, switching from high molecular structure glycol-based frothers to MIBC allowed for coarser grinding in the mill.

Mining flotation chemical industries are concentrating on improving their understanding of how flotation collectors react to various mineralogy species and customizing collector combinations to improve complicated ore processing efficiency. Manufacturers are working to have a better grasp of consumer wants to supply customized reagents.
