Market Overview:
The global coal trading market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market is segmented by type, application, and region. The type segment includes lignite, sub-bituminous, bituminous, and anthracite. The application segment includes power generation, iron & steel production, cement production, and others. The regions include North America (U.S., Canada), Latin America (Mexico), Europe (Germany), Asia Pacific (China), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia). The growth of the global coal trading market can be attributed to the increasing demand for electricity worldwide and the rising use of coal in various industries such as power generation.
Product Definition:
Coal Trading is the buying and selling of coal between different entities. It can be done through physical delivery or by using derivatives contracts. The importance of coal trading is that it allows companies to secure the best price for their coal, while also providing a liquid market where buyers and sellers can easily come together.
Lignite:
Lignite, also known as brown coal, is the lowest grade of coal and accounts for a share of around 3.6% in global coal production. It has been traditionally used to generate electricity owing to its low cost and abundant availability. Lignite contains high quantities of carbon which makes it an ideal source for power generation compared to other coals such as coking or black coal.
Sub-Bituminous:
Sub-bituminous coal is a low-quality coal with less than 20% bitumen content. It has high moisture and volatile matter content, which makes it unsuitable for use in steel manufacturing. However, the demand from other end-use industries such as power generation and domestic cooking fuel is expected to drive the global sub-bituminous market over the forecast period.
Application Insights:
The power application segment led the market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing coal consumption for electricity generation, particularly in China, India and European countries. In addition, growing demand for steel from construction sector is expected to augment coal imports into China over the next few years.
Iron & steel was the second-largest application segment accounting for 49% of global volume share in 2017 owing to rising demand from developing economies including India and Indonesia coupled with higher production levels in Australia and Brazil.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global coal trading market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a volume share of 68.8% in 2016 and is likely to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2030 owing to increasing steel production across emerging economies, such as China, India, Japan, South Korea & Taiwan.
The Asia Pacific was followed by North America which accounted for 16.9% of total market revenue in 2016 on account of high consumption levels along with rising exports from U S & Canada due to low domestic prices compared with imports from other regions resulting into trade balance deficit since 2014-15 fiscal year till September 2017 (USD X million).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the power sector: The global coal-fired power generation capacity is expected to grow by nearly 60% by 2040, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). This will create a strong demand for coal in the coming years.
- Rising consumption in developing countries: Developing countries are expected to account for more than 75% of the global increase in coal consumption between 2016 and 2040, according to the IEA. This will provide a major growth opportunity for Coal Trading companies.
- Limited availability of other energy sources: Coal is an affordable and reliable source of energy that is available in many parts of the world. This makes it an attractive option for many countries looking to meet their energy needs.
- Stringent environmental regulations: Governments around the world are increasingly implementing stringent environmental regulations that favor use of cleaner fuels such as natural gas and renewables over coal-fired power plants . However, this could also lead to increased demand for clean coal technologies, providing a growth opportunity for Coal Trading companies . 5
