According to the "2024 Blue Book on Intelligent Mining and Autonomous Driving Industry" released by China University of Mining and Technology, China's intelligent mining sector holds a trillion-yuan market potential. By 2030, the smart coal mining market is projected to reach 1.41 trillion yuan, while the intelligent non-coal mining market is expected to hit 910.7 billion yuan, totaling over 2.3 trillion yuan, indicating vast growth opportunities.
In recent years, China has made remarkable progress in intelligent mine construction, transitioning from technological development to enterprise adoption and practical implementation, paving a new path for digital and intelligent transformation.
In April 2024, the National Mine Safety Administration, along with multiple ministries, issued the "Guidelines on Advancing Intelligent Mine Construction for Safer Mining Development" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"), providing a systematic policy framework for intelligent mining advancement.
On the technological front, five key laboratories related to intelligent mining were approved, and five projects, including "intelligent tunneling" and "autonomous driving in open-pit mines," were included in the national key R&D program. Additionally, collaborations among mining companies, equipment manufacturers, research institutions, and universities have led to breakthroughs in critical technologies.
