Diamond core drilling is a power tool that uses a rotary diamond drill which is attached to a machine to create precise holes in the wall. It is a high-speed and high-production method of drilling in concrete, asphalt, stone, or masonry structures. It is safe, fast, quiet and does not cause impact or vibration damage to the immediate surrounding structure.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected the diamond core drilling industry. Surging cases of coronavirus infections have resulted in social distancing and lockdown norms in various countries across the globe to curb the spread of the virus. This has resulted in limited diamond drilling operation activities and supply chain disruption, which affected the product demand during the pandemic.

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

Growing large projects for the exploration of exploratory wells for their mineral composition are expected to propel the market growth during the review period.

• These initiatives are likely to increase with ever-growing energy needs.
• Also, the mechanical benefits of diamond core drilling over other drilling methods further augment the market growth.
• Employing the right diamond drill bits assures accurate, sharp, and clean openings that do not require patches, further spurs the industry's growth.

Market Trends

Diamond core drilling is experiencing high demand due to global demand for minerals like precious metals, base metals, and industrial minerals. Mining companies are using this technique to explore new mineral deposits, driving market growth. The construction industry's expansion and solid infrastructure projects are also driving the industry. Diamond core drilling operations are becoming more efficient with technological advancements in drilling rigs, bits, and fluids, enabling faster and more accurate exploration and extraction processes, and boosting market growth.

Segment's Analysis

Operation Trends

"The rig-operated segment accounted for the largest market share."

The diamond core drilling market is classified into hand-held and rig-operated. In 2020, the rig-operated segment held a 45% market share and is expected to grow rapidly. Diamond core drilling rigs, crucial drilling equipment, come in various sizes and configurations, with factors like power capacity, depth capability, mobility, and safety features being considered when selecting one.

Drilling Technique Trends

"The stitch drilling segment accounted for the largest market share."

The diamond core drilling market is classified into stitch drilling and underwater diamond drilling. The stitch drilling segment held the largest share in 2020 and is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the assessment period. Stitch drilling is primarily used when diamond drilling won’t quite crack it. Diamond drilling is mainly restrained to 1,500mm so stitch drilling can take on bigger jobs, further bolstering the segment growth.

Regional Insights

"Asia Pacific accounted for the largest market share."

Asia Pacific market accounted for the largest share in 2020 and is expected to grow at a substantial CAGR in the following years. This is mainly ascribed to rapid development in underground mining activities in China and Japan. Also, growing investment in mining exploration, mineral production, and construction & infrastructural activities, further proliferates the regional market growth.
