In 2021, South Africa had a revenue share of about 24.0%, dominating the market. This is due to the nation's significant mining operations and its larger mineral resource base, which includes minerals like gold, diamonds, platinum, iron ore, coal, titanium, vanadium, chrome, and some other less valued ones. Around 61% of the overall revenue in the mining sector came from sources outside of the country in 2020. According to Trading Economics, South Africa will sell steel and iron ore to China in 2021 for a total of approximately USD 962.56 million. The increased demand for iron ore is projected to boost South Africa's need for mining chemicals.
