Though the industrial minerals sector, like most other industrial sectors, has undergone major production and sales difficulties owing to the loss of traditional markets and political uncertainty in the region, Macedonia continues to produce bentonite, feldspar, gypsum, sand and gravel, stone (carbonate and silicate), as well as cement and other construction materials mainly for export.

Also the coal crushing is very active. The Macedonia Coal reserves are estimated at 730 Mt of lignite. Recoverable reserves would cover domestic needs for another 25 years. Current production is at 7.2 Mt, concentrated in four mines. The two bigger ones supply lignite to nearby power plants owned by the national utility - ESM. ESM is a vertically integrated state monopoly for electricity generation, transmission and distribution, which owns the mines it is supplied from. Four lignite power plants account for about 70% of power generating capacity of 1.44 GW. There is also one district heating scheme. Two more State-owned mines supply big industrial consumers and households. So the local coal crushing and grinding machines are quite advanced compared some developing companies.
