North American Market Coverage Criteria
The Metals & Minerals Industry encompasses the extraction (mining), as well as primary and secondary processing, of metals and minerals. There are 21 major categories within the Metals & Minerals Industry, including mines (coal, metal and mineral), steel mills, cement manufacturing plants, smelters, foundries, glass manufacturing plants and brick and tile plants, to name a few. Industrial Info's Metals & Minerals coverage includes a database of global project information representing more than $467 billion in total investment value.
Due to the large population of Metals & Minerals Industry operations, our plant database qualification guideline is typically restricted to companies with annual revenues of at least $25 million and/or plant operations of 50 or more employees. In North America, Industrial Info is monitoring a database of more than 5,200 operational plants in the Metals & Minerals Industry, in addition to more than 1,400 pre-commissioned (planning, engineering and under construction) plants. Outside of North America, Industrial Info is monitoring more than 8,600 operational and pre-commissioned plants in the Metals & Minerals Industry.
