What Are the Key Growth Drivers Fueling the Coal Market Expansion?
The coal market's growth is likely to be boosted by the escalating demand for electricity. Electricity, defined as energy derived from the flow of charged particles, such as electrons, through a conductor, can be utilized to power various devices and systems across multiple industries and daily life. Increased electricity consumption often necessitates a higher need for sustainable energy sources. Coal fulfills this growing need for energy by offering a dependable and plentiful source of electricity, particularly in emerging economies with escalating energy needs. For example, as per the electricity market report 2023 by the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based intergovernmental organization, the global electric demand was projected to rise to 29,281 terawatt-hours in 2025 from 26,779 terawatt-hours in 2022. Accordingly, the coal market is gaining momentum due to the soaring demand for electricity.

What Are the Key Trends Driving Coal Market Growth?
One major trend that is gaining traction in the coal market is strategic investments. Key players in this market are making strategic investments to broaden their portfolios and bolster their market standing. For example, in October 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), a government agency in the U.S, announced its intention (NOI) to allocate $32 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law towards supporting front-end engineering design (FEED) studies. The key objective is to extract rare earth elements (REEs) and other critical minerals and materials (CMMs) from domestically sourced coal-based resources. The transformation of waste from coal production into components of clean energy technology can stimulate the creation of well-paying jobs in communities that have traditionally relied on fossil energy fuels and power for their income.
