The report “Global Digital Mining Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: Information By Technology (Automation & robotics, Real-time analytics, Cybersecurity, Other), By Application, and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) – Market Forecast, 2024 - 2032.” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
The growing adoption of digital solutions in the mining sector, increasing mining exploration activities, and the higher requirement for safety as well as error-free decision-making in the mining industry are propelling the growth of the digital mining market. The shift to digital and automated technologies has revolutionized mining processes, making them less labor-intensive and more organized. This has led to the integration of digital solutions into mining processes by companies. For instance, in April 2024, Innomotics (a Siemens business) partnered with the Anglo American to develop a digital mining solution for the Quellaveco copper mine in Peru.
In addition, the use of automation and robotics in mining facilitates real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance and reduces environmental impact. These factors improve operational efficiency, optimize production processes, and enhance safety measures. The use of such technologies in the mining sector is leading to a significant boost, further propelling the growth of the digital mining market. For instance, in October 2023, the Indian mining & quarrying sector showed a remarkable increase of 13.1% compared to the same month in the previous year.
Furthermore, the digital mining market is driven by an increasing emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility. The demand for minerals and metals, fueled by infrastructure development and renewable energy projects, is also driving market growth. Also, regulatory pressures to comply with environmental standards are accelerating the adoption of digital mining technologies. For instance, in August 2023, Petrosea adopted a robust digital strategy using SAP-based solutions and developed a platform to measure sustainability data.
