Join IIR for a Podcast on the Outlook for the Metals & Minerals Industry

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Industrial Info is pleased to be presenting a complimentary podcast on the project spending outlook for the Metals & Minerals Industry on Wednesday, April 23, at 10 a.m. CDT (11 a.m. EDT). Join our industry experts as they discuss this important sector, which includes steelmaking, mining, cement production and more.

Industrial Info is tracking $2.8 trillion worth of active Metals & Minerals projects across the world, including more than $647 billion worth in North America. The mining sector shows the most investment, both in North America and globally, out of all Metals & Minerals sectors. Rising in prominence have been metals key to the energy transition, including copper, used heavily in wind power projects and electric vehicles (EV), and battery metals used in EVs and electronic devices.

However, the single highest global Metals & Minerals project in the world is a potash mine being developed by BHP Group (NYSE:BHP) (Melbourne, Australia) in Saskatchewan, Canada. Subscribers to Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Metals & Minerals Project Database can learn more by viewing the project report. U.S. tariffs, particularly on steel and aluminum, also could have an effect on the industry. The largest project underway in the U.S. is a low-carbon aluminum recycling and rolling plant in Alabama that is expected to begin operations in mid-2026. (See project report.) In 2025, shifting market drivers, including economic conditions, government stimulus programs, metal prices and geopolitical issues, continue to shape project spending across the Metals & Minerals sectors. While the energy transition and reshoring remain major drivers of project activity, the slower-than-expected adoption of electric vehicles and increasing supply of battery metals will significantly influence the market in 2025.

Join us as we analyze these and other industry trends for the remainder of 2025 and beyond. We hope that you are able to join us for this informative podcast! Click here to learn more and RSVP.
