Uranium and metal ore miners have exhibited constant shifts in revenue as commodity prices have fluctuated amid global supply and demand conditions. While the pandemic severely hampered production as lockdowns shut down mining activities, miners benefited from the overall positive movement of platinum and uranium. As mines reopened and the need for these minerals remains strong, production and prices swelled, providing miners with a robust recovery period. Overall, industry revenue has climbed at a CAGR of 12.6% to an estimated $5.1 billion, through the end of 2025. Revenue will dip 3.2% in 2025 as molybdenum and uranium prices push down. While platinum group metals (PGMs) have always been a consistent revenue source, uranium's resurgence has fueled growth. While Canada has always been one of the largest uranium producers, production saw a boost as countries sought alternate forms of energy amid oil and gas price hikes after the pandemic. The reopening of the McArthur Lake mine in late 2022 was amplified as the need for uranium was through the roof despite the risks of nuclear power. Uranium prices went up double digits each year from 2020 through 2024, with only a 7.9% dip in 2025. This substantial growth allowed uranium to surpass platinum as the industry’s largest product segment. Revenue is set to continue growing as the price of uranium, platinum and molybdenum all push upward. Platinum group production will continue to creep up as well, as mines have yet to reach total capacity. China's need for nuclear power is slated to swell in the coming years and new reactors are likely to come online, supporting the need for uranium from overseas. As more consumers opt for electric vehicles (EVs), miners will exhibit an uptick in cobalt sales as the metal is needed to produce EV batteries. Mining companies will also look to implement new technologies to bolster efficiency and production while reducing costs, helping to maintain profitability. Overall, revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7%, reaching $5.8 billion by the end of 2030.

Retail residential electricity prices in the United States have mostly risen over the last decades. In 2023, prices registered a year-over-year growth of 6.3 percent, the highest growth registered since the beginning of the century. Residential prices are projected to continue to grow by two percent in 2024. Drivers of electricity price growth The price of electricity is partially dependent on the various energy sources used for generation, such as coal, gas, oil, renewable energy, or nuclear. In the U.S., electricity prices are highly connected to natural gas prices. As the commodity is exposed to international markets that pay a higher rate, U.S. prices are also expected to rise, as it has been witnessed during the energy crisis in 2022. Electricity demand is also expected to increase, especially in regions that will likely require more heating or cooling as climate change impacts progress, driving up electricity prices. Which states pay the most for electricity? Electricity prices can vary greatly depending on both state and region. Hawaii has the highest electricity prices in the U.S., at roughly 43 U.S. cents per kilowatt-hour as of May 2023, due to the high costs of crude oil used to fuel the state’s electricity. In comparison, Idaho has one of the lowest retail rates. Much of the state’s energy is generated from hydroelectricity, which requires virtually no fuel. In addition, construction costs can be spread out over decades.
