The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Rental mining equipment accounts for a significant share in the global mining equipment market. The high cost of capital, overhead cost, and maintenance cost attached with the ownership of mining equipment have led end-users to rent mining equipment. The nature of a project and its duration are the key factors considered while purchasing or renting mining equipment. Generally, for a small-scale project scheduled for a short span, companies prefer to rent mining equipment as opposed to purchasing them.

Large-scale mining companies tend to focus on current projects rather than take risks and venture into new ones. This is a shielding strategy they adopt, wherein they go slow on new explorations, cut down expenditure, and run tighter operations to maximize the potential of current projects. Such strategies protect them from the impact of declining commodity prices, expensive operations, and increased energy bills. As a result, the profit margins of rental mining equipment companies have decreased, as many large players in the industry have lowered their investment in new projects.

According to the report, renting mining equipment is a cost-effective alternative to owning such equipment, especially for short duration projects. Higher financial flexibility, reduced maintenance cost, and low cost of ownership are the key advantages offered by rental mining equipment; therefore, they are highly beneficial for small-scale mining companies and contractors.

Further, the report states that many mining companies have deferred investments in new mining projects due to declining commodity prices. The prices of coal, aluminum, copper, and iron ore have been declining since 2011.
