Abstract

This IDC study contains the outlook of IDC Energy Insights' analyst team for the worldwide mining industry for 2020–2025. The outlook is presented through the lens of the 10 predictions that make up, in IDC Energy Insights' view, the framework for IT and line-of-business (LOB) decision makers and influencers' technology-related initiatives in the year ahead (see Figure 1).

"2020 will be the year that mining companies begin translating the potential of digital to actual value. Mining companies will be focused on the 'how': How to manage innovation programs; how to drive and manage ongoing effective change; how to enable the required enterprise-level investments and develop the business cases for them; and how to build platforms to support an integrated value chain," said Emilie Ditton, associate vice president, IDC Energy and Manufacturing Insights.
