The Global Green Mining Market is estimated to cross USD 27.71 billion by the end of the year 2031, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6% during the forecast period 2023-2031. Green mining use less-polluted mining processes and technology adoption to cut down the adverse effects on the environment. The major objective of green mining is to curb the footprint on the environment which is caused by acid-related damage from mining activities.

Governments and miners are actively deploying novel technologies to promote responsible mining practices and curb mining waste at every stage of the mining life cycle at the global level. 

The market growth is majorly tended towards increasing concern over the environment, ill-effects of the mining industry, and increasing government participation to curb the pollution measures boost the development of green mining market.
