Smart Mining Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Mining Type (Surface Mining, Underground Mining and Other Mining Types), Hardware Components (Intelligent systems, Sensors, Radio-frequency identification tags and Other Hardware Components) , Software Solution, Service, Automated Equipment and By Geography
According tStratistics MRC, the Global Smart Mining Market is accounted for $15.7 billion in 2022 and is expected treach $44.1 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 18.7% during the forecast period. Smart mining employs information, autonomy, and technology traise 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 tminers, alsentails remote-controlled robotic machinery for mineral and metal extraction. In order timprove safety, lower operating costs, and boost productivity at a mine site, smart mining uses information, autonomy, and technology.
According tthe World Economic Forum, digital transformation initiatives in the mining sector will generate more than USD 320 billion of industry value over the next decade.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increased awareness
The harsh effects of the mining environment, including UV exposure, chemical dangers, ground instability, and others, are becoming more widely known tcreate 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 tthe market's growth.
Restraint:
Depletion of natural resources
Miners would have textract from deeper and more remote mines due tthe 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 tthe tunnel, which acts as a restraining factor.
Opportunity:
Improvements towards safety and health
Internet access is necessary for smart mining sthat mine operators and managers can monitor the condition of the equipment and work environment. The complicated mining business has chances ttrack visibility, safety, and production thanks tIoT technologies. In addition tlinking services, it alsconnects people, things, and equipment. Mining companies have put cutting-edge equipment on mine sites tmonitor safety regulations. Therefore, the use of IoT drives the market growth.
Threat:
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 tachieve 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.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest global crisis affecting millions of people. Apart from being just a health hazard, it has led tan unprecedented social crisis, affecting several industries and livelihoods. The mining industry is alsheavily 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 tbe the largest during the forecast period
The surface mining segment is estimated thave a lucrative growth, due tits advantages. Surface mining is used textract abundant reserves due tincreased 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 thave the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The analytics solutions segment is anticipated twitness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due tdata is a valuable asset. Surface mining is used textract abundant reserves due tincreased 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 thold the largest market share during the forecast period owing t
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.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected thave the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing tits benefits. Technological advancements and increasing demand for oil sands, coal, and gas are expected tdrive the demand for mining equipment. The mining equipment manufacturers look at opportunities like the automation of machinery tattract 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.
