ANALYSIS OF THE PRODUCTION OF NON-METALLIC MINERAL RAW MATERIALS AND THEIR MARKET DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

In the past half-decade, the Republic of Serbia has recorded a growing trend in the construction of infrastructure facilities, representing a key factor for economic growth and societal development by improving transport connectivity, strengthening the economy, and enhancing the quality of life.The intensification of infrastructure development has led to a significant increase in the demand for technical construction materials, which has further stimulated the growth of the mining industry as a primary sector supplying the construction industry with essential raw materials.The aim of this research is to conduct a statistical analysis of data on the production of technical construction materials, as well as to evaluate the key factors that have contributed to a more efficient and streamlined exploitation process. The consideration of technical and economic parameters, along with the conditions affecting the production process, is of fundamental importance for the continued development of this sector and for defining strategies for its improvement.Harmonization between the production and consumption of technical construction materials, in accordance with current legal regulations, is a prerequisite for the sustainable management of mineral resources. This ensures optimal exploitation, reduces negative environmental impacts, and enables the efficient supply of the construction sector while strictly adhering to technical and environmental standards.
