The compound annual growth rate of the industry in the period 2014-19 is predicted to be 2.6%.

This is one of the comprehensive research report published on Digital transformation of Mining industry. Within this research report, we have covered the key steps to be taken to transform a traditional mining business into Digital Mining Business to differentiate from the competition and drive strong revenue growth to increase market share. The report progresses by highlighting the key industry risks, and challenges, market trends and impact of technology on Mining Industry value chain.

Mining industry value chain is slowly changing to improve the productivity by managing existing assets efficiently but this strategy will go only so far. Despite the industry's ups and downs, the nature of mining has stayed the same for decades. Achieving a breakthrough on productivity and performance demands altering of how mining industry operates.

Number of digital technologies like internet of things (IoT), cloud, analytics, and robotics have long been in the works and are now available and affordable enough to become operational at scale across the mining industry. Their applications include building a more comprehensive understanding of the resource base, optimizing material and equipment flow, improving anticipation of failures, increasing mechanization through automation, and monitoring performance in real time.

Mining Industry is majorly spending on monitoring their supply chain, premises, products and customers. There is a huge wave of variance when it comes to Digital technologies adoption. On other hand, security demand in Digital age surpass and impact conventional categories of IT security, physical security and IT/operational technology (OT) security. Security now signifies how the various strata's of security must work simultaneously to secure data, protect devices and users, and provide a privacy, transparency and secure experience.
