The primary focus of the following sections to analyse the Global Smart Mining market by adoption among mining companies; the primary segment covered under the scope of the report are automated equipment and component uptake among mine operators. A detailed analysis has been provided for every level of segment and sub-segment in terms of Market Value Forecast.

As highlighted earlier, Global Smart Mining is an aggregation of automated equipment (including driller & breaker, load haul dump, mining excavator and other equipment) and component (including hardware, solution and service). All these sub-segments are included in this section to make the study more comprehensive.

The next section of the report highlights automated equipment and component adoption by geography. It provides a market outlook for 2015–2020 and sets the forecast within the context of the smart mining ecosystem, including automated equipment and component to build a complete picture at regional and country levels. This study discusses the key regional trends contributing to growth of the smart mining equipment and component market on a regional basis. Key regions/country assessed in this report include North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific Excluding Japan (APEJ), Japan and Middle East & Africa (MEA).

All the above sections, by automated equipment, by component and by regions, evaluate the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Global Smart Mining market for the period 2015 –2020. We have considered 2013 as the base year and provide data for the trailing 12 months.

To calculate the Global Smart Mining Market Value Forecast, we have considered revenue generated from the sale of automated equipment and component (including hardware, solution and service availed). The forecast presented here assesses the total revenue by value across the Global Smart Mining market. In order to offer an accurate forecast, we started by sizing the current market, which forms the basis of how the Global Smart Mining market will develop in the future. Given the characteristics of the market, we triangulated the outcome of three different types of analyses, based on supply side, consumer spending and economic envelope. However, forecasting the market in terms of various automated equipment, component and region/country is more a matter of quantifying expectations and identifying opportunities rather than rationalising them after the forecast has been completed.

In addition, it is imperative to note that in an ever-fluctuating global economy, we not only conduct forecasts in terms of CAGR, but also analyse on the basis of key parameters such as year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth to understand the predictability of the market and to identify the right opportunities across the Global Smart Mining market. 

As previously highlighted, the Global Smart Mining market is split into a number of sub categories. All the Smart Mining sub-categories in terms of automated equipment, component and region/country analysed in terms of Basis Point Share (BPS) to understand individual segments’ relative contributions to market growth. This detailed level of information is important for the identification of various key trends of the Global Smart Mining market.

Also, another key feature of this report is the analysis of all key Global Smart Mining market segments, sub-segments, regional/country adoption and verticals revenue forecast in terms of absolute dollar. This is traditionally overlooked while forecasting the market. However, absolute dollar opportunity is critical in assessing the level of opportunity that a provider can look to achieve, as well as to identify potential resources from a sales and delivery perspective in the Global Smart Mining market.

Furthermore, to understand key growth segments in terms of growth & adoption of automated equipment and component across regions/country, Future Market Insights developed the Global Smart Mining Market Attractiveness Index. The resulting index should help providers identify real market opportunities.
