Global Coal Market to Reach $726.06 Billion by 2029, Growing at 2% CAGR

What industry-specific factors are fueling the growth of the coal market?
The increasing necessity for electricity is forecasted to boost the expansion of the coal industry. The term electricity is indicative of an energy type developed from the motion of charged elements, predominantly electrons, moving via a conductor. This energy can be exploited to power various devices and systems across several sectors and everyday life. Increased electricity usage often equates to a heightened need for energy sources to sufficiently meet this demand. Coal serves this increasing energy demand by supplying a dependable and rich source for electricity generation, especially in developing nations with escalating energy requirements. For example, the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based intergovernmental organization, stated in the electricity market report 2023 that the global electricity demand was projected to reach 29,281 terawatt-hours in 2025, growing from 26,779 terawatt-hours in 2022. Therefore, this climbing demand for electricity is propelling the coal industry.

What Is the projected market size and growth rate for the coal market?
The size of the coal market has seen consistent growth in the past few years. The rise is projected to escalate from $652.91 billion in 2024 to $669.84 billion in 2025, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6%. This expansion during the historic period is a result of increased coal power generation, a vast global supply of coal, and advancements in power generation technology.

Expectations are high for steady growth in the coal market over the next several years, with projections estimating a value of $726.06 billion in 2029 and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.0%. Factors such as sustained reliance on coal by emerging economies, government policies, the growth of emerging markets, and the implementation of new policies promoting the coal sector are contributing to this growth in the forecast period. Key trends predicted to shape this period include innovative technologies to prevent mining accidents, investments in autonomous technologies, and 3D visualization tools for spotting difficult terrains. Also, the use of drones for safer, more efficient mining operations, the adoption of big data analytics for performance improvement, investment in the X-ray diffraction process for cost efficiency, and the adoption of open-pit mining for a safer and more economically viable extraction method are anticipated. Alongside this, the coal sector is expected to adopt methane-control technologies, sensor-based sorting technology for high-quality coal extraction, improvements in hele coal technologies for better plant efficiency, and the provision of coal to CTL plants. Additionally, mitigation measures for pollutant emissions via clean coal technologies and the use of underground coal gasification to produce syngas are projected in the forecast period.

What new trends are reshaping the coal market and its opportunities?
A rising trend within the coal market is the implementation of strategic investments. Major players within the marketplace are using strategic investments in a bid to diversify their offerings and cement their market standing. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced in October 2022 its intent to fund a $32 million Bipartisan Infrastructure Law initiative. This program is aimed at advancing front-end engineering design (FEED) studies in the production of rare earth elements (REEs) as well as additional critical minerals and materials (CMMs) using domestic coal-based resources. The transformation of coal production waste into clean energy technology elements can lead to the creation of well-paying jobs in areas with a history of fossil energy fuel and power generation.
