Global Mining Floatation Chemicals Market: Growth Drivers
Declining Ore Quality Consolidate the Demand in Mining Flotation Chemicals Market
Over the past few years, the average copper ore grade has drastically decreased. Mineral ores' grades are declining due to aging mineral resources. As more chemicals are needed to recover the desired mineral, the need for mining flotation chemicals rises as ore grades deteriorate.
Increasing transportation costs and hefty import taxes have caused mining flotation chemicals, especially chemical reagents used to enhance mineral grade, to fluctuate in price.

Demand for Collectors to Push Mining Flotation Chemicals Market
Chemical companies involved in mining flotation are presently concentrating on understanding improved flotation collector responses to various mineralogy species. The market for mining flotation chemicals has recently seen a trend towards the development of novel frothers. In addition to improving bubble strength, switching from high molecular structure glycol-based frothers to MIBC allowed for coarser grinding in the mill.
Mining flotation chemical industries are concentrating on improving their understanding of how flotation collectors react to various mineralogy species and customizing collector combinations to improve complicated ore processing efficiency. Manufacturers are working to have a better grasp of consumer wants to supply customized reagents.

Global Mining Floatation Chemicals Market: Restraints
High Logistic Costs
The global market is quite competitive. Therefore, product pricing is exceptionally crucial. Logistics plays a significant role in detecting the prices of mining chemicals. Logistics costs mainly account for around 20% or more of the overall cost of any mining chemical. In addition, the overseas shipment cost is always high in almost all the countries across the world, which affects the market negatively. Manufacturers or suppliers must constantly evaluate the logistic cost and transportation possibilities, which are likely to provide the best economies of scale, provide the best quality products, and on-time delivery to the clients or customers.

Global Mining Floatation Chemicals Market: Recent Developments
- In June 2021, FMC Corporation planned to invest more than US$ 50 million, over the next three years, in capital improvement projects, including the modernization of a greenhouse and research laboratory at the company's Global Research and Development headquarters in Newark, Delaware.
- On 8 November 2022, a strategic partnership between BASF and Moleaer has been signed to benefit the mining sector. This combines competence in chemical, mineral processing, gas transport, and nanobubble technologies. With the objective to create cutting-edge mining techniques, this partnership is expected to bring together experience in mineral processing, gas transfer, hydrometallurgy, and nanobubble technology. The primary objective is to enhance extraction rates from copper ores with high chalcopyrite content, which have traditionally been challenging to leach, by focusing on the copper leaching process.
- In July 2020, Arkema completed the acquisition of ArrMaz, a global leader in specialty surfactants for the crop nutrition, mining, and infrastructure markets. ArrMaz has around US$ 290 million of sales from North America, South America, Asia, and the Middle East & Africa.
- In March 2023, Solvay launched Polycare® Heat Therapy for bio-based thermoprotection in hair care, the non-ecotoxic, double-derivatized cationic guar active ingredient advances the global trend of bio-based and silicone-free solutions in hair care and delivers excellent thermal protection in transparent formulations.

Definition: Flotation is a process that is mainly used to concentrate and separate the ores by modifying the surface properties. Flotation chemicals are used for the froth flotation process, and these chemicals include pH regulators, conditioning agents, slime dispersants, resurfacing agents, wetting agents, collectors, and frothers. The flotation process is very useful for the ores benefaction and this process can also attract very minute particles.
