According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Smart Mining Market is accounted for $15.7 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $44.1 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 18.7% during the forecast period. Smart mining employs information, autonomy, and technology to raise productivity, enhance mine site safety, and save operating costs. By providing cutting-edge software solutions, mining businesses emphasize boosting productivity. Telerobotic mining, which lessens risk to miners, also entails remote-controlled robotic machinery for mineral and metal extraction. In order to improve safety, lower operating costs, and boost productivity at a mine site, smart mining uses information, autonomy, and technology.
According to the World Economic Forum, digital transformation initiatives in the mining sector will generate more than USD 320 billion of industry value over the next decade.
Increased awareness
The harsh effects of the mining environment, including UV exposure, chemical dangers, ground instability, and others, are becoming more widely known to create health issues in mine workers. Ventilation systems, remote-controlled machinery, and autonomous fleet integration all provide safe working environments and raise operational productivity. Also, a greater emphasis on safety and health, a rise in the adoption of IoT solutions, and a rise in the use of autonomous equipment are all contributing factors to the market's growth.
Depletion of natural resources
Miners would have to extract from deeper and more remote mines due to the fast depletion of natural resources around the world. Several technological difficulties are presented by underground mining. The deeper a mine is, the more energy it requires. Furthermore, as the mine progresses, the probability of rock bursts increases, causing damage to the tunnel, which acts as a restraining factor.
Improvements towards safety and health
Internet access is necessary for smart mining so that mine operators and managers can monitor the condition of the equipment and work environment. The complicated mining business has chances to track visibility, safety, and production thanks to IoT technologies. In addition to linking services, it also connects people, things, and equipment. Mining companies have put cutting-edge equipment on mine sites to monitor safety regulations. Therefore, the use of IoT drives the market growth.
Lack of skilled and qualified labour
The demand for skilled, certified, and experienced workface on mine sites is rising as a result of the mining industry's increased usage of cutting-edge systems. In order to achieve maximum efficiency and lower on-site accidents, the operation of smart mining equipment requires skilled staff. Thus, the unavailability of skilled labour can hamper the growth of the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest global crisis affecting millions of people. Apart from being just a health hazard, it has led to an unprecedented social crisis, affecting several industries and livelihoods. The mining industry is also heavily dependent on large labour and workforce. The short-term impacts include suspension of mineral production, loss of wages on account of absenteeism and pandemic restrictions, unemployment, and sale of minerals in the market. In the long-term, the continuity of many mining businesses, reputation and economic health of industries, new mineral deposit exploration and new mining complex development has been affected.
The surface mining segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The surface mining segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to its advantages. Surface mining is used to extract abundant reserves due to increased demand for both non-metallic and metallic minerals, rising energy consumption, growing concerns about the security of the global energy supply, and rising technological developments in mining. The cost of surface mining is less than that of subterranean mining. These factors are driving the market growth for this segment.
The analytics solutions segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The analytics solutions segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to data is a valuable asset. Surface mining is used to extract abundant reserves due to increased demand for both non-metallic and metallic minerals, rising energy consumption, growing concerns about the security of the global energy supply, and rising technological developments in mining. The cost of surface mining is less than that of underground mining.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to
It is a significant producer of metal ore and metals. The greatest coal reserves in the world are there, although they are spread out over several nations. Automation and digitalization in mining have already improved smart mining and have a very large growth potential. The rise in infrastructure development and automotive production is driving the growth of the metals and mining industry in the region.
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to its benefits. Technological advancements and increasing demand for oil sands, coal, and gas are expected to drive the demand for mining equipment. The mining equipment manufacturers look at opportunities like the automation of machinery to attract customers and capture a significant share of the market. The growing demand for raw materials resulted in mining companies exploring new mining projects, thus boosting the region growth.
