Global Mining Automation Market Forecast to 2029: Strong Focus on Enhancing Worker Safety and Improving Productivity to Drive Mining Automation Market
Dublin, March 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Mining Automation Market by Equipment (Autonomous Hauling/Mining Trucks, Autonomous Drilling Rigs, Underground LHD Loaders, Tunneling Equipment, Smart Ventilation Systems), Technique (Underground, Surface), Workflow, Region - Forecast to 2029" report has been added to * ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.
The global mining automation market size is expected to grow from USD 3.6 billion in 2024 to USD 5.1 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2029. There's a growing interest in mining automation in recent years for several reasons. Technologies like machine learning, robotics, and data analytics enable mining companies to automate processes, cut costs, and improve safety. Using remote-controlled or autonomous mining trucks and equipment helps avoid accidents by keeping humans away from risky tasks. Moreover, autonomous mining equipment optimizes operations, cutting fuel consumption and minimizing waste, which lowers costs. This focus on automation aligns with sustainable resource extraction, contributing to the expected significant growth of the global mining automation market in the coming years.
*Equipment offering segment is projected to grow at significant CAGR during the forecast period*
The equipment offered in the global mining automation market includes autonomous hauling/mining trucks, drilling rigs, LHD loaders, tunneling equipment, smart ventilation systems, pumping stations, and others (hybrid shovels, total stations, mining dozers, wheel loaders, and mining excavators). Addressing workplace safety concerns, increased R&D investment, and technological advancements result in unmanned or autonomous equipment development, reducing hazardous incidents and boosting efficiency. Integrating innovative equipment enables mining companies to substantially cut operating costs by minimizing downtime and enhancing asset utilization.
*Mine development workflow segment is projected to grow at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period*
Mine development encompasses constructing the mining facility and supporting infrastructure. Upon completion of the exploration phase, where concentrated mineral deposits are identified for commercial viability, the mine development stage commences. This involves comprehensive site clearing to create accessibility for both machinery and human operations. Clearing the site lays the foundation for subsequent crucial processes in the mining operation.
*The market in Europe is expected to grow at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period*
The European mining industry extracts diverse metals and minerals from widespread ores, with key deposits comprising copper, lead, silver, and zinc. The European mining sector attracts investment due to advanced infrastructure, skilled labor, and stable policies. While it contributes a small share of GDP, it plays a significant role in global product production. The region's mining activities offer substantial potential for deploying advanced mining automation technologies.
