In 2015, Asia-Pacific (APAC) accounted for the largest share, 54%, of the global mining chemicals market. It is a key regional market and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR, 9.34%, among the geographic segments. This growth has been attributed to the increasing mining activities in the developing countries of the region and favorable government policies. The rising private and foreign investment

in the region has also been an important driver in the region's market. China, India,and Australia are the key markets in APAC.Many countries are enforcing stringent regulations on the mining chemicals processing industry to minimize the environmental hazards caused by mining activities and to encourage eco-friendly practices. With this in view, the mining chemicals industry has been developing specialized chemicals, such as granular activated carbon, liquid sodium aluminate, sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, and dewatering polymers, to treat mining water and waste that has been polluted by this waste.Rapid industrialization and urbanization in developing countries is encouraging the demand for metals and minerals heavily. Many new mining fields have been opened in these and other areas to cater to the rising demand.
