Technavio has released updated information on the mining market, with the publication of its new market research report, Brazilian mining industry.

Brazil is rich in mineral ores and is one of the chief exporters of minerals.

“The Brazilian mining industry is expecting modifications by government in the licensing regulations during the forecast period. Brazil has a very complex regulatory framework for the mining sector, and the mining vendors are predicting revision in approval policies of new mining licenses. For instance, the ordinance 504, issued in 2014, defines the minimum threshold for the classification of elements as mineral waters,” says Chandrakumar BJG , Lead Analyst, Chemicals & Materials, Technavio Research.

The aggregates segment dominated the market during 2014 with a market share of 54% and is anticipated to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period.

For instance, nearly 10 thousand tons of aggregates is required for paving a road of one kilometer while a 50 square meter low-cost house requires 68 tons of aggregates. Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Parana are the key regions in Brazil driving the growth of the aggregate segment.
