Metals and mining industry overview: Key trends to expect

Transition to low-carbon economy

In order to meet the current energy transition, the demand for most minerals is expected to be on the rise. Furthermore, given the fact that low-emission energy and transportation systems are more mineral-intensive than their fossil fuel-based counterparts, the transition to energy-efficient options provides a great opportunity for the mining sector. Mining sector companies that power their operations with renewable energy, operate electric or hydrogen-powered truck fleets, and integrate recycling in their value chains will be best placed to sell low-carbon premium minerals.

New financing and production models

Companies in the metals and mining sector are trying to limit risks. As a result, new financing and production models will become more common in the coming years. Financing solutions such as royalty and metal stream agreements that are aimed at reducing the burden on the balance sheets of metals and mining companies will continue to gain momentum.
