Earlier Report Observations

The restart of production at the Lovisa mine in 2018, through an agreement with Boliden to supply lead and zinc ore to the Garpenberg concentrator, provided a steady source of lead ore, supporting domestic production volumes in the following years. This activity helped maintain production levels, which reached 115.4 thousand tons in 2022 after a period of lower output.

Global market shocks in 2022, including the war in Ukraine, raw material shortages, and an energy crisis, introduced economic uncertainty and more cautious investment in the raw materials sector. These factors contributed to a notable shift in market value, with the lead ores market's monetary size declining to 139.5 million USD in 2022 despite a simultaneous increase in physical volume.

New regulatory measures began to influence market conditions from 2022. The EU's ban on lead ammunition in wetlands, effective from February 2023, directly affects demand for lead products. Simultaneously, the introduction of extended producer responsibility rules for packaging altered requirements for materials and recycling, indirectly shaping the industrial landscape for raw materials like lead ores.
