• The U.S. has a strong presence in the Chilean market and has maintained the largest single country market share these last several years.
• In 2005, the local market exceeded $1 billion and is expected to grow at an annual minimum average of 10% for the next 5 to 8 years. Currently, there are over $18 billion in identifiable projects scheduled to break ground by 2013.
• Local demand for equipment is satisfied mostly by imports. Historically, around 50-55% of all mining equipment imports have come from the U.S.
• U.S shipments to Chile grew 70% between 2003 and 2005, reaching a record quarter of a billion dollars in 2005.
• Completion of new projects and the signing of a US -Chile Free Trade Agreement that entered in to effect on January 2004 are the driving forces for the demand, that in 2005, reached a peak of US$1.6 billion/year.
• Local production of equipment is still limited –estimated at around 20% of the market-- compared to the large volume of imports that exceed US$1 billion/year.
• We project that the industry will face a sustained annual growth of 10% through 2013.
