Using up-to-date and reliable research techniques, the report analyses the various factors affecting the coal mining market. Profiling the key market players and using analytical tools such as Porter’s five forces analysis and SWOT analysis, the report provides detailed information about the vendor landscape of the coal mining market.


As per data revealed by the World Coal Association, an industry body comprising of coal producers and coal stakeholders, the worldwide mining of hard coal has been estimated at 6185 million tons till January 2015. The report points that the increased usage of coal in electricity generation to cater to rising population will act as one of the major drivers for the growth of the global coal mining market. Rising demand for metallurgical coal from developing economies will further boost the coal mining market.

The report cautions that a surplus of coal supply due to increased coal mining will lead to a drop in coal prices. Transportation of coal from the mining sites requires huge investment; this could also be one of the restraints for the coal mining market. The report identifies that the advancement in technology used for coal mining will create opportunity for the coal mining market.
