Market and financial development

Market

Strong demand for minerals, coupled with favorable commodity price levels and lower interest rates, spurred high mining activity during 2025. Sandvik noted very positive order momentum with a significant step up in equipment investments, a mix of brownfields, greenfield, and replacements. Demand for parts and services remained solid, driven by higher technology content, a high production pace, an aging fleet, and increasing fleet size. Digital solutions for enhanced efficiency and safety remained a customer priority and the demand for Sandvik solutions continued to be favorable.
