The global metal ore market grew from $483.29 billion in 2022 to $535.73 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The metal ore market is expected to grow to $808.18 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.8%. The presence of large metal ore reserves globally supported metal ore mining activities. Metal ore reserves such as iron ore reserves are available in almost every country worldwide with 50 countries involved in mining iron ore. According to the U.S Geological Survey, countries such as Australia with 900 million tons and Brazil with 490 million tons of usable iron ore dominate the world's iron ore exports, each having about one-third of total exports. The other reserves are in China, USA, Russia, South Africa, Ukraine, Canada, and India. The large metal ores reserve such as iron ores reserves globally supported the growth of metal ore mining market. Many developed and developing economies are imposing restrictions on free trade, which are expected to hinder the growth of the metal ore mining market going forward. In March 2022, The UK introduced additional 35% tariffs on imports of some metals from Russia. Furthermore in November 2021, the EU imposed tariffs on stainless steel products imported from India and Indonesia. Reductions in the world free trade are expected to hinder the growth of the metal ore mining market due to the expected increase in production costs and tariffs. Mining companies are starting to use cognitive computing to enhance the decision-making capabilities in mining operations. The ability of cognitive computing to give insights on future trends in the industry and make real-time decisions are some of the driving factors for mining companies to implement this technology. The key areas where cognitive computing and predictive technology helps mining companies include giving accurate information on drilling locations, depth to be drilled, predicting the equipment failure in advance, and autonomous transportation. Goldcorp is using IBM Watson to analyze drilling reports and geological survey reports. This approach assists geologists with the exploration process and by helping them make more accurate, data-driven decisions. For instance,, the global cognitive computing market reached $21.6 billion in 2021 .
