Datamine today announced it has been recognized as the #1 global supplier of mining software in GlobalData’s Global Mine Site Survey of Investment Status and Supplier Choice 2025. GlobalData is a leading provider of data, insights, and analytics for the world’s largest industries, including mining, in which it tracks over 33,000 mines and projects globally with details of equipment, plant and key suppliers including mining software companies.
The survey drew on insights from 842 operating mines through direct interviews and secondary research, reflecting a 95% confidence level and less than 4% margin of error. Among 2,148 software providers mentioned globally, Datamine ranked first, with 44% adoption across all mine types—surface and underground—and across all regions.
GlobalData’s research highlights Datamine’s strength in technically complex environments, identifying the company as the clear leader in underground mining, with 49% adoption across underground operations—where reliability, precision, and operational confidence are critical. The report also positions Datamine as the leading mining software partner across multiple major regions, including Africa & the Middle East, Europe & the Former Soviet Union, North America, and South & Central America—demonstrating strong global relevance for multinational mining organizations seeking consistent standards at scale.
GlobalData further reports that mine planning and scheduling software continues to attract higher levels of investment than mine management software. This reinforces the importance of Datamine’s core capabilities in supporting strategic decision-making across the life of a mine. With a portfolio spanning planning, optimisation, evaluation, and operational decision support, Datamine continues to invest in integrated solutions that help mining companies improve performance, reduce risk, and make better decisions from exploration through to production and closure.
“This independent research confirms what we see every day across the global mining industry—Datamine is trusted to support mining operations at every stage and in every major region,” said John Bailey, CEO of Datamine. “Being recognised by GlobalData as the most widely used mining software provider reinforces our commitment to helping our customers address their most complex challenges across the entire mining lifecycle.”
