Global Coal Mining Industry 2015-2019 Key Trends, Size, Growth, Analysis, Shares and Forecast Research Report

Researchmoz added Most up-to-date research on "Global Coal Mining Industry 2015-2019" to its huge collection of research reports.

Technavios research analyst predicts the global coal mining industry to grow steadily at a rate of 2%, in terms of consumption, during the forecast period. The coal consumption in China is expected to account for three-fifth of demand during the forecast period. The global demand for high-quality coal is the primary driver for this industry. The coal quality is dependent on calorific value as well as its sulphur and ash content. When the calorific value is high, a lesser quantity of coal is required to generate energy, resulting in less global CO2 emissions per unit of coal.

However, the environmental impact of the production and consumption of coal is expected to deter the market growth during the forecast period. The most significant impact is acid mine drainage, where acid run-off is formed through a chemical reaction between sulfur-bearing rocks and water, and contaminates river water.

Segmentation by mining technology and analysis of the coal mining industry

Surface mining

Underground mining

Surface mining is further classified as strip mining, auger mining, open-pit mining, and mountain removal mining. Underground mining is further classified as room and pillar and longwall mining.

Segmentation by end user and analysis of the coal mining industry

Thermal power generation

Steel manufacturing

Cement manufacturing

Heating

The thermal power segment accounted for 62% of the market share during 2014 and is predicted to dominate the end user market until the end of 2019. As coal is used as a primary fuel resource globally for power generation, its demand in the thermal power generation market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
