Revenue for the Silver, Lead and Zinc Ore Mining industry has recently been highly volatile. This has been due to fluctuations in prices of lead, silver and zinc, driven by economic events like the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine crisis. Revenue is expected to increase at an annualised 2.8% over the five years through 2023-24, to $6.0 billion. This trend includes an expected 6.8% plunge in 2023-24, reflecting the normalisation of zinc, silver and lead prices. Over the past five years, the industry's largest product segment, zinc ore and concentrate, has declined as a share of industry revenue due to weather-related disruptions and operational issues that triggered the temporary suspension of several mines. Normalisation of zinc prices in 2022-23 have led to mine closures, degrading output. Demand for silver has increased as the manufacturing of solar panels increase, but the growing use of copper in solar panels have limited growth. Furthermore, increases in lead prices combined with robust manufacturing activities have boosted lead's share of industry revenue. Globalisation trends in the industry has declined over the period, as exports as a share of revenue and import penetration declined. The decline in exports is largely driven by appreciation of the Aussie dollar and subdued global zinc demand. The decrease in import penetration is due to domestic refineries and smelters strengthening and streamlining their supply chain after the COVID-19 pandemic. This has increased downstream markets' reliance on domestic inputs, lowering import reliance. Revenue is projected to increase over the next five years, thanks to recovery in domestic outputs and the expansion of the Century mine. Sustainability trends will have a significant effect the industry. Environmental policies like the EU Green Deal and net-zero commitments will propel demand for transition metals, including zinc and silver. Silver, lead and zinc miners are poised to implement sustainability initiatives in their operations, including reducing their carbon footprint and investing in green technology. Overall, revenue is forecast to increase at an annualised 1.1% over the five years through 2028-29, to $6.3 billion.
