Global Coal Mining to 2035

GlobalData's "Global Coal Mining to 2035" provides a comprehensive coverage on the global coal industry. It provides historical and forecast data on coal production by country, production by company, reserves by country and world coal prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global coal industry. It further profiles major coal producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by region.

The global coal production landscape continues to be dominated by China, India, Indonesia, the US, Russia and Australia, which together accounted for 88.4% of total output in 2024. In 2025, global coal production is projected to increase by a marginal 1.2% over 2024 to reach 9,333.3 million tonnes (Mt). This marginal growth is being driven largely by China and India. China's coal production increased by 1.5% year-on-year in the first ten months of the year. This follows a comparatively weak performance in 2024 due to operational challenges in Shanxi, with the province now anticipated to regain momentum and push China back into the top coal-producing position in 2025. Overall, China's production is forecast to rise by 2.7% in 2025, reaching 4,910.3Mt.

Looking toward 2026, global production is projected to increase again, although only slightly, and more slowly than the rate expected in 2025. This reflects continued weakness in Chinese output, persistent oversupply in Indonesia and the US, and pressure on prices across the value chain.
