by The global High Pressure Grinding Roller (HPGR) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 377.5 Mn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.8% over the forecast period 2022-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
High pressure grinding roller (HPGR) is an energy efficient comminution method of compressing and crushing rock and ore between two counter rotating, parallel rollers with a small gap between them. HPGR technology allows size reduction through compression and grinding rather than conventional crushing and grinding using impact or attrition alone. HPGR technology significantly reduces operating costs associated with power consumption compared to other technologies such as cone crushers and ball mills. The significant improvements in energy efficiency offered by HPGR systems has increased its adoption across mining and mineral beneficiation industries.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends gaining traction in the global HPGR market is the increasing adoption of HPGR technology across mineral beneficiation processes. HPGR systems consume up to 30-40% lesser energy than traditional crushers and grinding mills. Mining companies are increasingly incorporating HPGR systems to improve energy efficiency and reduce operational costs. For example, major mineral producers such as BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Glencore, and Vale have integrated multiple HPGR units across various mineral beneficiation plants worldwide. The superior energy saving benefits offered by HPGR technology over conventional alternatives continues to drive its demand, especially from large mining conglomerates aiming to boost productivity through resource optimization.
Porter’s Analysis
