Chicago, Feb. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 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. Mining automation offers a controlled, safe environment for surface and underground activities that safeguard workers and maintenance personnel. This technology reduces the total cost of ownership and maintenance expenses while also boosting productivity and safety. In mining operations, automation is accomplished through the use of dedicated software, such as autonomous haulage systems and collision detection and avoidance systems, as well as automated hardware, such as autonomous haulage/mining trucks, autonomous drilling rigs, underground LHD loaders, and others.
Major Mining Automation Companies Include:
- Caterpillar (US),
- Komatsu Ltd. (Japan), and
- Sandvik AB are notable players.
