Global $249 Billion Gold Mining Markets Forecast to 2026

DUBLIN, Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Gold Mining Market 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global gold mining market should grow from $214.1 billion in 2021 to $249.6 billion by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1% for the period of 2021-2026.

This report covers the gold mining industry. Definitive and detailed estimates and forecasts of the global market are provided, followed by a detailed analysis of the regions, technology, end-uses and on-going trends.

Rising investments and increasing jewelry consumption are growing the gold mining market. Gold jewelry is the most significant growth factor, but the demand for jewelry has been declining, more so in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Demand declined due to shutdowns in the market and increased prices. During the pandemic, gold prices peaked and are expected to decline during the forecast period. Investment is the second-largest end-use of gold, accounting for about one-third of the total consumption. During the pandemic, demand from the investment sector boomed, spurred by the demand growth for exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

By supply, mine production accounts for the majority share of the market, accounting for about one-third. Hardrock mining holds the major share of gold mining, followed by placer mining. Bio-mining is emerging in different countries; however, its high operating cost is anticipated to hinder the growth of the bio-mining segment.

Recycled gold is most responsible for the gold pricing. The vast majority of gold is recycled from jewelry (around 90%), the rest from technology. The gold market currently has a supply surplus of about 850 tons due to the decrease in demand for jewelry and technology applications during the pandemic. The demand was very much lesser than the previous ten years average.

During the past decade, the gold demand has significantly shifted east from western countries such as the U.S. and European countries due to the cultural affinity and the increased per capita income of consumers in countries such as China and India. Regulatory and taxation scenarios vary with the countries and regions.

The global gold mining market is fairly consolidated and the top players account for a significant share of the market.

Top manufacturers of gold mining include Newmont Corp., Barrick Gold Corp., AngloGold Ashanti, Polyus, Kinross, Gold Fields, Newcrest, Agnico Eagle, Polymetal, and Kirkland Lake. The top 10 players account for around 22-23% of the total market share, which is anticipated to grow due to increased merger and acquisition activities among manufacturers.
