Norway’s Directorate of Mining annual mineral statistics for 2025 recorded total mineral sales of NOK 13.864 billion. While nominal sales value declined for the first time since 2016, the inflation-adjusted value was 6.6% lower than in 2024. The volume sold also fell 3% to 91 million tonnes.

Exports were valued at NOK 7.178 billion, or 51.8% of total sales; inflation-adjusted export value fell 10.2%. Construction materials made up 53.4% of sales value, while energy-mineral sales fell 58%, reflecting the closure of Mine 7 on Svalbard. The statistics cover operations regulated under Norway’s Minerals Act and annual industry reporting; major construction excavations outside that law are excluded.
