Technological advancements such as 3D Mine visualizers are a key feature that is gaining popularity in the global metallurgical coal market. Market players in particular are focusing their efforts on creating new technologies such as 3D mine visualizers to strengthen their market positions. 3D Mine visualizers refer to the use of 3D software for visualization of information. A 3D mine viewer is used to obtain a real-time digital position of a mine and comes up with applications for 3D terrain modeling, ventilation mapping, real-time data monitoring and emergency response for example. In March 2021, Sight Power by Arvizio, provider of 3D visualization enterprise augmented-reality (AR/MR) software solutions in collaboration with the Immerse 3D solution will bring AR-digital twins to the mining industry, 3D models of work on mining operations with LiDAR scans and geological models, which can span miles or kilometers and include multiple layers, which will be visualized in AR.

Rise in the Proximity Detection and Equipment: To increase efficiency, mining companies deploy autonomous mining vehicles and mobile equipment management systems that include vehicle control, proximity detection and equipment that operate remotely. Automatic engines outperform manual engines in fuel efficiency, performance, vehicle durability and overall engine performance. For example, Caterpillar has developed a semi-autonomous LHD for use in underground mining at the Newmont mine in Nevada. Caterpillar operates two mines in Western Australia with a fleet of fully autonomous mining vehicles. Rio Tinto mines with autonomous vehicles experienced a 12 percent increase in production and a 13 percent decrease in loading and hauling costs.

Asia Pacific region dominated the global metallurgical coal market. The Asia Pacific market is anticipated to be driven through accelerated purchaser recognition, authorities initiatives, and the web hosting of various promotional sports. The majority of the market contributors have a sturdy presence in Asia Pacific, and the increasing use of metallurgical coal in various industries is expected to power call for metallurgical coal all through the forecast period. This region has experienced a big boom due to mergers and acquisitions of extensive key companies.
