Australia Coal Market Size

The Australia coal market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.2% between 2024 and 2032. The major drivers of the market include rising adoption of coal for electricity generation due to the reliable, dependable, and predictable nature of the fuel and increasing requirement for coal for cement production due to the expansion of the construction sector.

Key Trends in the Market

Coal is a black combustible fossil fuel that contain high amounts of hydrocarbons and carbons and is classified into sub-bituminous, anthracite, lignite, and bituminous categories. The combustion of coal produces heat that is used for converting water into steam, that drives the turbine, resulting in the production of electricity. Certain varieties of bituminous coal are also used for making steel.

  • The expansion of the construction sector due to increasing population and industrialisation are aiding the Australia coal market growth. Coal is used as a source of energy in the cement production process, which is an essential component of the construction sector. Additionally, coal combustion products also play a crucial role in concrete production.
  • The rapid consumption of steel due to the expansion of the urban sector and strong momentum in infrastructure development is boosting the product demand. Burning coke with coal results in the production of carbon monoxide, which, in combination with high temperature, results in the conversion of iron ore into liquid. The impurities are removed from the molten pig ore and alloys are added, resulting in the formation of steel.
  • The rising investments by the market players towards research and development activities for supporting the production of coal mining equipment with enhanced efficiency and low environmental impact is providing lucrative growth opportunities to the market.
