Chemical & Fertiliser Mineral Mining in the UK - Industry Market Research Report


Chemical & Fertiliser Mineral Mining in the UK

The Chemical and Fertiliser Mineral Mining industry's revenue has expanded at a compound annual rate of 1.1% over the past five years. The industry's production has shifted considerably as the largest mineral extractor, Cleveland Potash, changed its mine's production from muriate of potash to sulphate of potash (polyhalite) in 2018, causing revenue to fall as the company had to ramp up production. The two other major companies in the industry, Schlumberger Oilfield and Fluorsid British Fluorspar have also shifted production, with Schlumberger opening a new mine and Fluorsid moving mining operations from the western to the eastern portion of its Mildam mine

This industry covers the mining of natural phosphates, potassium salts, sulphur, barium sulphate and carbonate, borates, magnesium sulphates, earth colours, fluorspar and other minerals valued chiefly as a source of chemicals. Guano mining also falls into this category. The extraction of salt, roasting of iron pyrites and manufacture of synthetic fertilisers and nitrogen compounds are not included in the industry.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares."
