Mining Automation Market Industry Overview

The global mining automation market was valued at USD 4.90 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3% from 2023 to 2030.

The rapid advancement in technology, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics, has resulted in increased usage of mining automation solutions as a means of boosting production efficiency. The increasing trend of deploying innovative technologies is driving the growth of automated mining solutions. The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) in this sector offers mine management with real-time data and analytics with the help of visualization tools. Several operators are teaming up with technology companies to deploy wireless networks underground.

For instance, in April 2021, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) announced the acquisition of myInvenio, an Italian startup company. The Company builds and operates process mining software. The initiative aims to MyInvenio’s process and task mining technology into IBM Cloud for Robotization, a platform for structuring and running robotization operations. The company will benefit from the data-driven software and tools that help them track sales, production, procurement, and accounting. The increasing need for mine and worker safety is providing an impetus to industry growth. Previously, the traditional mining techniques have compromised the safety of the mine workers resulting in increased hazards at the mining site.

Therefore, providers have developed smart mining solutions and equipment to ensure the safety of workers. For instance, in November 2020, ABB launched the ABB Ability safety plus, a suite for the mine hoist. It is considered the mining industry’s first fully independently certified Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3), which is very specific and rare for risk reduction and safety hazards for the mine hoist solution with the proper security by offering three solutions: safety plus brake system, safety plus hoist monitor, and safety plus hoist protector. The initiative aims to enhance the environment for mining to be safe for workers and types of equipment.
