Dublin, May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Lead Mining to 2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Global lead production is estimated to have increased by a marginal 0.7% in 2025 to reach 4.57 million tonnes (kt), with China, Russia, Peru, India, South Africa, Turkey, and Ireland playing a pivotal role by accounting for 63.7% of this total.
The report contains an overview of the global lead mining industry including key demand driving factors affecting the global lead mining industry. It provides detailed information on reserves, reserves by country, production, production by country, production by company, major operating mines, competitive landscape, major exploration and development projects.
The output growth was primarily driven by the new projects and restarts in China (Huoshaoyun mine), Russia (Ozernoe ramp-up), Ireland (Tara mine restart), and expansions in India. Similarly, Peru and South Africa also saw gains from higher ore grades and improved operational efficiency.
However, these gains were mostly offset by output declines in Australia, the US, and Kazakhstan, driven by declining ore grades and the closure of mines such as the Lady Loretta and Red Dog.
Looking ahead to 2026, global production is anticipated to grow by 2.2% to reach 4,677.3kt, supported by planned increases in China, Mexico, Peru, Kazakhstan, India, Brazil, and Russia which will offset projected declines in the US and Poland.
