GlobalData has released a comprehensive report titled “Mining Software: Global Mine Site Survey of Investment Status and Supplier Choice, 2025,” which details the investment status and supplier preferences of specialist mining software across 874 operating mines worldwide. As businesses work their way through rapidly changing technological ecosystems, this report sheds light on important trends that are influencing the mining software market.
The data GlobalData has recently collected offers some interesting insights into the most notable investment trends within operations of the mining industry. As the report indicates though, only 61% of mines adopted or heavily invested in mine planning and mine scheduling software. Plus, almost half (47%) of mines have done the same with mine management software. These findings show a deep desire for planning tools indicating that firms are looking for software that will help to maximize operational efficiency.
GlobalData’s industry analysis is an invaluable tool for stakeholders to identify and gain a better understanding of future projections related to their line of business. The company’s extensive project database provides tremendous advantages to U.S. firms such as Liebherr-Werk. They take this data and identify new projects, finding and taking advantage of opportunities for expansion or improvements.
“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units. We also utilize the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.” – Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Curiously, 41% of these mines were already using Datamine with 36% using Dassault Systemes as their software solution provider. These findings are important for software suppliers who want to focus their products in the right place of the market.
