Surface Mining segment dominated the market in 2024
By Technique, the surface mining segment dominated the market share in 2024 accounting for more than two-thirds of the global mining automation market revenue, due to its large-scale operations, ease of equipment deployment, and lower complexity compared to underground mining. Surface mining allows for the more efficient use of autonomous vehicles, drilling systems, and real-time monitoring technologies, which significantly boost productivity and reduce operational costs. The availability of expansive, open terrains further supports the implementation of automated solutions, making surface mining more conducive to technological integration and large-scale automation initiatives. Moreover, the surface mining segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.4% from 2025 to 2034.
Mineral Mining segment dominated the market in 2024
By component, the mineral mining segment held the highest market share in 2024, contributing to nearly half of the global mining automation market revenue, due to the increasing demand for a wide range of minerals used in construction, electronics, renewable energy, and industrial processes. The growing consumption of minerals such as copper, iron ore, and lithium-driven by urbanization, infrastructure development, and the clean energy transition-has pushed mining companies to adopt automation for greater efficiency, precision, and scalability. However, the metal mining segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 8.16% from 2025 to 2034.
Asia-Pacific region is expected to continue its dominance throughout forecast period
Based on the region, Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2024, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global mining automation market revenue, owing to the presence of large-scale mining operations in countries like China, Australia, and India, as well as increasing investments in automation technologies to boost productivity and safety. The region's rich mineral reserves, growing demand for metals and minerals to support industrialization and infrastructure development, and supportive government initiatives for digital transformation in mining have further accelerated the adoption of automated solutions. Moreover, the Asia-Pacific segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 8.0% from 2025 to 2034.
