The mining industry continues to expand, with mine production rising across various sectors. According to the National Mining Association, in the United States, the mine production of industrial garnet has increased from 77,200 metric tons (Mt) crude in 2015 to 110,000 Mt crude in 2020. The production of talc and pyrophyllite has grown from 615 thousand Mt in 2015 to 630 thousand Mt in 2023. With this industry growth, employment in the mining sector has also risen, reflecting a higher workforce. As per the National Mining Association, the number of people employed in the mining industry in Australia has increased from 81.1 thousand in 2000 to 278.1 thousand in 2023. In Indonesia, employment has surged from 451.9 thousand in 2000 to 1,698.5 thousand in 2023, marking a growth of 275.88% over the period. This expansion in the mining industry is driving increased demand for hazardous location air conditioners, which is expected to fuel market growth during the forecast period.

The governments of various countries have been implementing and updating various regulations to protect the mining workers from the hazards of the mining environment. In April 2021, the government of the British Columbia province of Canada updated its Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines to strengthen the protection of the mining workers. The government added revisions like modernizing the requirements for atmospheric detection in underground mines, among many other revisions.. The focus of governments on providing safety to the mining workers is leading to rising adoption of hazardous location air conditioners which is also expected to contribute to the market growth in the coming years.
