Introduction

• South Africa’s quarrying industry extracts stone, clay, sand and aggregates, which are essential for construction and manufacturing activities. • South Africa is known for its diverse range of natural stone resources, and it has significant clay deposits. • The quarrying industry faces challenges including regulatory compliance, environmental sustainability, community engagement and market volatility. • The phosphate mining industry provides a key ingredient in the production of fertilisers. • The industry has the opportunity to produce value-added products, and there are export opportunities.

Outlook

• Increasing demand, technology and investment will drive growth in quarrying. • The growing contribution of the private sector in infrastructure and renewable energy is expected to be positive for construction and infrastructure growth. • Phosphate miner Foskor has not met the demands of the local agriculture sector and South Africa remains highly reliant on fertiliser imports. • Energy, infrastructure and transportation issues continue to hamper production of phosphoric acid and phosphate fertiliser. • Phosphate is increasingly becoming a sought-after battery material for the electric vehicle industry.
