Introduction and LandscapeWhy was the report written?

This report is the result of an extensive survey drawn from ICD Research's exclusive panel of leading global mining industry executives. The report provides data and analysis on buyer expenditure, procurement, and developments within the global mining industry. This report includes key topics such as global mining industry buyer expenditure and procurement behaviors and strategies. This report identifies the threats and opportunities within the global mining industry, economic outlook trends, and business confidence within global mining industry executives.Most secondary research reports are based on general industry drivers and do not understand the industry executives' attitude and changing behaviors, creating a gap in presenting the business outlook of the industry. In an effort to bridge this gap, ICD Research created this primary-research based report by gathering the opinions of multiple stake holders in the value-chain of the global mining industry.

What is the current market landscape and what is changing?

Executives from the global mining industry anticipate an increase in levels of consolidation, with 54% of respondents projecting an increase in merger and acquisition (MandA) activities in 2013.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?

Revenue and margin pressures created by rising cost of raw materials, and resources and fluctuations in the commodity markets, have prompted companies to consolidate positions and look for MandA to stabilize operations.

What makes this report unique and essential to read?

Key Market Issues

China is identified to be the important region for growth among emerging markets, along with India, Brazil, and South Africa. Expansion of mining activities, increase in demand for metals, together with strong economic growth, are considered the important reasons by respondents for selecting these regions.

'Market uncertainty', 'falling demand', 'responding to pricing pressure', and 'retention or recruitment of skilled staff are identified by respondents as the pressing business concerns in the global mining industry. Among buyers, 50% of respondents rate 'market uncertainty' as the important business concern in 2013, while 42% highlight 'falling demand'. Among suppliers, 'market uncertainty' and 'responding to pricing pressure' are considered the significant business challenges in 2013, according to 57% and 36% of respondents respectively.

The average size of the global annual procurement budget among mining industry buyers is forecast at US$78 million for 2013. A comparison of global procurement budgets by operating region shows that global mining industry buyers with leading operations in North America have the highest average procurement budgets in 2013, at US$156 million.

'Financial strength and stability', 'existing relationship with supplier', 'delivery lead times', and 'price' are considered the most important factors for supplier selection in the global mining industry, while 'proximity of supplier operations', 'environmental records and CSR', and 'brand reputation' are considered the least important.

Weakness in financial markets, less favorable polices in advanced economies, coupled with inability to sustain the high pace of growth by developing economies, have contributed to lower optimism levels.

Key Highlights

An analysis of revenue growth expectations by senior level respondents reveals that 49% are 'more optimistic' about their company's revenue growth in 2013.

Regardless of regional classification, a significant percentage of respondents highlighted capital expenditure towards 'new product development' and 'employee training' in 2013.

The top three priorities for global mining industry buyer respondents in 2013 are 'improving operational efficiency', 'expand in current markets', and 'focus on sustainability'.

The Indian government will spend US$1 trillion to improve infrastructure and power networks, and invest US$15 billion to expand coal generation in its five year plan, from 2012-2017.

Survey results show that 41% of respondents identified the US as the country that will offer the highest growth potential among developed countries in 2013-2014.
