Global Connected Mining Market is valued at approximately USD 11.21 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 13.3% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Connected Mining refers to the use of connected solutions such as industrial IoT, big data, analytics, and simulation technology in mining operations. Moreover, these technologies are used for increasing the visibility and effectiveness of mining operations. IoT-enabled devices fixed & mobile sensors are used for extracting real-time data across the mining operations. The application of connected mining solutions offers different benefits including improvement in operator and equipment handling, the optimized cost in mining operations, offers real-time embedded intelligence and improved workforce safety among others. The increasing growth of mining activities and growing adoption of internet of things (IoT) devices as well as recent strategic initiatives from market players are key factors driving the market growth.

The increasing growth of mining activities is contributing to the growth of the Global Connected Mining Market. For instance, as per Press Information Bureau (PIB) estimates- in May 2022, the coal ministry of, the Government of India announced to increase in domestic coal production to 1.2 billion metric tons by FY 23-24 from the current level of 778.19 million metric tons. Moreover, the increasing adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in the mining sector is also accelerating the market growth. For instance, as per Statista – in 2021, the global smart mining industry had a market valued at USD 9.3 billion, it is projected to grow to a market value of USD 28.1 billion by 2027. Also, the growing adoption of 5G technologies across the regions and rising investment in simulation technology would create lucrative growth prospects for the market over the forecast period. However, high deployment costs associated with connected mining solutions and lack of technical expertise stifle the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
