The publisher estimates that the total installed base of connected mining solutions reached close to 1.3 million units in use worldwide across the equipment, people and environment segments in 2023. The equipment segment accounts for the largest share of the total, representing connected devices deployed on machines and vehicles used in mining operations. This includes solutions ranging from OEM telematics systems on mining equipment to advanced connected solutions supplied by mining technology specialists.
The people segment consists of various solutions deployed to support the safety and productivity of mining personnel, while the environment segment includes sensor technology implemented for environmental monitoring of the mine itself. Growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.1 percent, the installed base of connected mining solutions across all segments is forecasted to reach roughly 2.7 million units by 2028. Asia-Pacific is estimated to account for the largest share of the total installed base, followed by North America, the Middle East & Africa, Latin America and Europe.

The top players active in the connected mining space include strikingly different types of companies, ranging from specialised independent technology suppliers of varying sizes up to the leading mining equipment manufacturers. Equipment manufacturers such as Epiroc, Sandvik, Komatsu and Hitachi Construction Machinery (CM) have expanded their mining technology offerings largely due to high M&A activity in recent years. Many of the key players today serve both surface and underground mining customers.
The surface segment is dominated by Modular Mining Systems (owned by Komatsu), Hexagon Mining, Wenco International Mining Systems (owned by Hitachi Construction Machinery) and Caterpillar through its Cat MineStar suite. Modular, Hexagon and Caterpillar all serve underground customers in addition to a primary presence in the surface segment, while Wenco is fully focused on surface mining. Other players focused primarily or exclusively on surface mining include iVolve (owned by Komatsu) and ASI Mining (owned by Epiroc).
The underground segment is in general less mature and more fragmented. Examples of key technology providers focused specifically on underground applications are Newtrax Technologies (owned by Sandvik), Mining TAG (owned by Epiroc), Mine Site Technologies (owned by Komatsu), Roobuck and Strata Worldwide. MICROMINE, GroundHog Apps and Remote Control Technologies (owned by Epiroc) are additional players serving both underground and surface customers.
