Stars
Battery-Electric Mining Vehicles
Sandvik reinforced leadership in electrification with record BEV orders in 2025, booking ~SEK 3.2bn (Q1–Q3 2025 cumulative orders for electrified equipment), driving strong revenue mix in Mining and Rock Solutions.
BEVs capture high-growth demand as miners push decarbonization and cut underground ventilation costs by 30–60%, boosting total cost of ownership vs diesel.
These products need heavy R&D and capex—Sandvik spent SEK 4.1bn on R&D 2024 and increased BEV program capex in 2025—yet they signal the division’s future.
Digital Mining Technologies
Digital Mining Technologies posted double-digit organic growth in 2025, with Sandvik reporting ~12–15% unit growth as AutoMine autonomous platforms and Deswik mine-planning software saw accelerated adoption across 40+ major underground sites.
As a market leader in underground automation, Sandvik now captures a substantial share of the fast-growing digital mine ecosystem, with TAM expansion estimated at ~8–10% CAGR through 2028.
The high growth requires continuous capex and R&D spend—Sandvik increased digital R&D by mid-single digits of revenue in 2025—but a shift to subscription recurring revenue raised gross margins by ~200–400 basis points versus product sales.
Aerospace Machining Solutions
In 2025 the aerospace machining segment was a Star for Sandvik, growing ~12% y/y vs industrials ~4%, driven by global aircraft deliveries rising 8% and defense spending up 6% (IATA/Stockholm Intl. Aero stats).
Sandvik’s specialty tools and powder-metallurgy alloys held an estimated 28% global market share in aero machining, with segment EBIT margins near 18%, outperforming group average.
Ongoing fleet renewal and narrowbody demand support high growth and high share, keeping this Star despite broader macro risk.
Advanced Powder Solutions
Advanced Powder Solutions sits as a Star in Sandvik’s BCG matrix after double-digit revenue growth in 2025, with powder sales up 18% year-on-year and EBITDA margin around 22%, driven by global tungsten scarcity and rising demand for specialty alloys.
Sandvik’s integrated supply chain — owning European tungsten mines plus downstream processing — cuts lead times and price exposure, securing critical feedstock for high-end cutting tools and additive manufacturing parts.
- 2025 sales growth: +18%
- EBITDA margin: ~22%
- Advantages: own mines + Europe processing
- Uses: premium tooling, AM components
Surface Drilling Automation
In 2025 Sandvik advanced surface drilling automation, rolling out intelligent rotary blasthole drills and autonomous rigs that helped push surface mining revenue toward the company’s goal to double by 2028; surface segment sales grew ~18% year-over-year in 2025 to roughly SEK 12.6 billion, driven by automation demand.
Surface mines are adopting tech once limited to underground operations, expanding the addressable market—analysts estimate automated surface rig penetration rising from 6% in 2023 to 22% by 2028.
Sandvik leads this shift, investing capital and R&D to keep a first-to-market edge in automated surface platforms, with R&D spending in 2025 up ~14% to SEK 4.2 billion and targeted capex for surface automation projects of SEK 1.1 billion.
- 2025 surface sales ~SEK 12.6bn (+18%)
- R&D 2025 ~SEK 4.2bn (+14%)
- Targeted surface automation capex 2025 ~SEK 1.1bn
- Penetration forecast: 6% (2023) → 22% (2028)
Sandvik growth stars: BEV SEK3.2bn, Digital +12–15%, Aero +12% (EBIT18%), Powder +18%
Sandvik Stars: BEV orders ~SEK 3.2bn (Q1–Q3 2025), R&D SEK 4.1bn (2024) + capex 2025; Digital Mining growth ~12–15% units, TAM ~8–10% CAGR to 2028; Aerospace +12% y/y, 28% market share, EBIT ~18%; Advanced Powder +18% sales, EBITDA ~22%; Surface sales ~SEK 12.6bn (+18%), R&D 2025 SEK 4.2bn, surface capex SEK 1.1bn.
