Description

The global Iron Ore market size is expected to reach $ 146590 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of -2.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Iron ore is a relatively abundant metallic element (it composes about 5% of the Earth’s crust) and the main raw material used in steelmaking. Around 98% of global mined iron ore is used to make pig iron, which is an intermediate product of the steel-making process. The remaining 2% is used in several applications, such as production of cement, printing inks, plastics, cosmetics (eye shadow), artistic colors, fertilizer ingredients, and pigments. Currently, iron ore is mined in over 50 countries; however, the bulk of production comes from Australia, Brazil and China.

The global iron ore market is highly fragmented with small and large vendors. The key vendors in the market are BHP, Vale, Rio Tinto etc. The top 3 companies hold a share about 40%. Asia Pacific is the largest market, with a share about 70%, followed by South America with the share about 20%.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
