Mining truck market seen reaching $38 billion by 2033

Mining truck demand is rising as operators modernize fleets, expand mining infrastructure and add high-capacity haul trucks. Persistence Market Research says the market will grow from $26.1 billion in 2026 to $38.0 billion by 2033, with Asia Pacific leading the sector.

Why it matters: - Mining trucks are core to surface mining because they move large volumes of ore, coal and other minerals across mine sites. - The market’s growth signals more spending on productivity, fleet upgrades and material-handling capacity across global mining operations. - Higher demand for heavy-duty trucks reflects the need to move more payloads with fewer trips.

What happened: - Persistence Market Research projects the global mining truck market will be worth US$ 26.1 billion in 2026 and reach US$ 38.0 billion by 2033. - The forecast implies a 5.5% compound annual growth rate from 2026 to 2033. - The report was released June 30, 2026, in London. - The report says haul trucks lead the product mix with a 42% share. - The heavy-duty 200–400 tons segment holds 36% of the market. - Asia Pacific leads regional demand with a 38% share. - Get the sample report.
