Global Coal Mining Market Growth

Coal mining refers to the process of coal extraction from mines or ground. Coal is valued for its energy content and is used for generating electricity. The mining involves the cutting of long tunnels in coal seams and the removal of the extracted coal by conveyor belts.

The demand of coal mining market is driven by rising construction activities due to the increasing population are aiding the coal mining market growth. Fly ash, produced by the combustion of coal in industrial boilers or electric utility, is used as a supplement cement in concrete as it offers various advantages including strength, durability, chemical and corrosion resistance, and reduced emission of GHGs as compared to traditional cement.

Global Coal Mining Market Analysis

Increasing investments by the key players of the market towards the development of coal mining equipment to reduce environmental impact and boost efficiency are supporting the coal mining market expansion. Such developments can mitigate environmental concerns and bolster the support for coal mining activities.

Global Coal Mining Industry Outlook

In 2022, coal remained a dominant energy source for several countries, with South Africa leading at over 70% of its energy consumption derived from coal. China, the world's largest coal consumer, relied on coal for approximately 60% of its energy needs, consuming over 4 billion tonnes, more than the rest of the world combined. India and Indonesia also exhibited high coal dependency, with coal accounting for around 50% and 45% of their energy consumption, respectively.

Vietnam and Poland both had significant coal usage, constituting around 40% of their energy consumption. The Philippines, Japan, and Australia displayed notable reliance on coal, with each country deriving roughly 30% of their energy from coal. Türkiye and South Korea followed closely, each with coal contributing approximately 25% to their energy mix (World Energy 2023), thus, boosting the coal mining industry revenue.

Ukraine and Malaysia showed coal usage at about 20% and 15%, respectively, while Germany and Thailand's coal consumption hovered around 10%. Russia, the U.S., and Italy had relatively lower coal dependency, with coal making up approximately 10% of their energy consumption.

The United Kingdom and France had the least reliance on coal, each with less than 5% of their energy consumption coming from coal. These coal mining market dynamics and trends are influenced by the varying degrees of coal dependency across different regions, impacted by factors such as resource availability, economic structure, and energy policies.

However, In January 2023, coal consumption rose again, nearing 500 MMT, with China and India experiencing considerable increases. The United States saw a minor uptick, while the European Union's coal consumption remained relatively stable.

Coal mining Market Share

The underground mining method is expected to account for a significant coal mining market share. The deployment of underground mining is driven by the geology of the mined deposit. The method requires the building of tunnels and shafts that are at an incline or vertical to access coal seams that are difficult to extract using surface mining. Underground mining also allows the minimisation of various disturbances caused by surface mining including habitat destruction and deforestation, among others thus boosting the growth of the coal mining market.
