Crushers - Cone: Market Size & Forecast 2026

> **Analyst Take.** The call is not whether to diversify supplier relationships, the market concentration at the top end already demands that. The right sequence is: (1) qualify one Tier-2 supplier in Asia before Q4 2026, (2) negotiate indexed steel-pass-through on all new equipment awarded in 2026, and (3) build a 12-month wear-parts buffer before the Q1 2027 seasonal demand surge in major mining jurisdictions. Buyers who wait for the November 2026 EU duty review to finalise before acting on multi-source qualification will find themselves six months behind competitors who moved in Q3. The 18-month-old consensus that the market is "structurally tight" is a trailing indicator; capacity additions from China and India over 2024-2025 have shifted the balance toward modest oversupply in standard-configured units, which is precisely why the procurement sequencing matters now.
