The Australian Mining Industry
The mining industry has been a key financial driver in Australia over the last decade. Australia’s mining boom was largely driven by unprecedented demand for mining commodities such as steel and iron from developing countries such as China and India that industrialized rapidly over the last decade. Today, Australia has mining activity in all of its states and territories. In recent years, the Australian minerals industry has accounted directly for up to 8% of the nation’s GDP (significantly more when account is taken of related activity), upwards of 20 per cent of business investment and around 50 per cent of national exports.
In general, the industry has been changing from an investment phase to an output phase where mining operators are looking for product optimization and smart solutions to enhance productivity and where maintenance of existing facilities is now the focus. Lately, sustainability has been playing a more substantial role in the industry, which provides new market opportunities for Danish companies within the sub-sector of sustainable mining.
