GIS technology is increasingly being used by mining companies to monitor critical factors such as sustainability, geological composition, and compliance. GIS systems capture, record, evaluate and present spatial or geographic data. GIS integrates exploration datasets such as geophysical images, geochemistry, geologic maps, radiometric surveys, boreholes, and mineral deposits leading to efficient discovery of new mineral deposits. This technology also provides 3D visualization tools as it integrates data from various data sources. They are also used in allied industries such as production, mine closure, and reclamation. For instance, according to GISGIG, the global GIS market is expected to reach $12.7 billion by 2024. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the mining support activities market in 2022.

Mining machinery and equipment is defined as electrical or diesel-powered heavy-duty machinery or equipment involved in the excavation, transportation, and processing of commodities such as coal, minerals, and metals. The main types of mining machinery are underground mining machinery, surface mining machinery, drills and breakers, crushing, pulverizing, and screening equipment, mineral processing machinery, feed conveyors, stackers, and reclaimers. Pulverizing reduces minerals into small particles. Crushing reduces the size of materials into small substances for further processing. Screening separates one material from the other during the mechanical screening process. These mining machines are used for transportation, processing, and excavation in coal, minerals, and metals mining. The global mining machinery and equipment market is segmented – 1) By Product Type: Underground Mining Machinery, Surface Mining Machinery, Drills and Breakers, Crushing, Pulverizing, and Screening Equipment, Mineral Processing Machinery, Other Product Types 2) By Function Type: Transportation, Processing, Excavation 3) By Application: Coal, Mineral, Metal The global mining machinery and equipment market size is expected to grow from $70.35 billion in 2022 to $78.08 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%. 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 market size of mining machinery and equipment is expected to reach $113.35 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.8%. The increasing demand for mining is fueling the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market. Underground advanced mining equipment such as trucks, loaders, and diggers are used to dig up the material, and is usually transported to the ground through skips or lifts for further production. In the economic growth of developed nations such as Australia, the USA, and Canada, mining has performed a key role. Mining is notably crucial to the US economy because the USA is among the largest buyers of mineral resources and one of the largest producers in the world. For instance, according to the USA Geological report, in 2021, US mines produced nearly $90.4 billion worth of nonfuel minerals, which is 12% more compared to 2020. Therefore, the increasing demand for mining drives the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market. Major players in the mining machinery and equipment market are Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., Metso Corporation, Sandvik AB, Doosan Corporation, Liebherr, Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., Atlas Copco AB, Epiroc AB, Sany Heavy Equipment International Holdings Company Limited, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Joy Global Inc., Astec Industries Incorporated, Bell Equipment Limited, Boart Longyear Ltd., Bradken Limited, FLSmidth & Co., Furukawa Co. Ltd., Kopex SA, and Deere & Company. The impact of COVID-19 is expected to impede the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market over the forecast period. The mining industry has struggled with economic problems, but the COVID-19 outbreak is unparalleled, even for the major firms on the market. The sudden breakdown of day-to-day activity and total lockdown throughout countries for months, combined with a persistent threat to human life, has impacted the mining sector. For instance, in 2021, Shell, the leading supplier of lubricants to the mining industry, reported that about 80% of mining companies encountered operational difficulties, such as lack of qualified staff and inadequate steps to retain workers secure when implementing advanced technologies. Therefore, the impact of COVID-19 hampers the growth of the mining machinery and equipment market. The growing technological advancements are a major trend shaping popularity in the mining machinery and equipment market. Major firms operating in the mining machinery sector are focusing on developing advanced technology solutions for mining machinery. For instance, in September 2020, Sandvik, a Sweden-based engineering group in mining and rock excavation, metal-cutting, and materials technology developed a concept vehicle, which is built on high-end technology and fitted with entirely new sensing technologies and artificial intelligence to improve mining procedures. The AutoMine Model that is used, views its surroundings and atmosphere in 3D and responds in real-time. These technologies give specific consumer benefits by enabling vehicles to adapt and schedule their own ways and to find the most efficient paths even in ever-changing environments. In October 2022, Austin, a US-based company that specializes in mining equipment design and manufacturing, acquired Mainetec Pty Ltd for the amount of US $19.6 million.

The autonomous mining equipment and vehicles market consists of sales of autonomous mining equipment and vehicles by entities (organizations, sole traders, partnership) that can sense the environment and navigate on the mine haul road surface without any human intervention. Autonomous equipment and vehicles function with minimal human intervention and primarily help in the safe mining and transportation of ores and other materials. The main technologies of autonomous mining equipment and vehicles are surface mining techniques and underground mining techniques. The equipment used is a smart ventilation system, an autonomous hauling truck, pumping stations, an autonomous drilling rig, an underground LHD loader, tunneling equipment, and other equipment. The applications involved are metal mining, mineral mining, coal mining, and others. The global autonomous mining equipment and vehicles market size is expected to grow from $2.6 billion in 2021 to $2.94 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The global autonomous mining equipment and vehicles market size is expected to grow to $4.09 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. Rising concerns regarding miners' safety are driving the growth of the autonomous mining equipment and vehicle market as more autonomous mining equipment is employed to minimize human intervention and thereby reduce accidents. Mining is a dangerous profession with hazards such as fires, flooding, mine collapses, and health risks such as respiratory diseases, hearing loss, musculoskeletal disorders, and heat stress. Introducing autonomous equipment such as robotic loaders, laser sensors, and driverless trucks can help improve worker safety. For instance, mining company Rio Tinto is using 73 driverless trucks in four of its iron mines in Australia to improve worker safety. Therefore, the rising concerns regarding miners' safety are expected to propel the growth of the autonomous mining equipment and vehicles market. Autonomous mining equipment manufacturers are increasingly investing in technologies for electrification of mining equipment to reduce costs and emissions. Mining companies are required to invest heavily in equipment and maintenance to remove exhaust gases and heat generated by underground mining equipment. According to EY, a typical underground mine is ventilated by 500 to 1,000 cubic meters per second of fresh air, and the mechanical refrigeration needed to remove diesel equipment heat has an upfront cost of $30 million to $38 million and annual electricity costs of $0.75 million to $2.2 million. These high investment and maintenance costs can be avoided by using autonomous mining equipment that uses electricity as its source of energy.
