Summary We are Research "Global Coal Mining to 2023 & the impact of COVID-19" analyses impact of coronavirus on the global coal mining industry, with details of reserves, production, consumption trends and forecasts, the competitive landscape and listing of the major active, exploration and development projects.

The report also explains the impact of COVID-19 on global coal demand.

Global coal production was estimated to have reached 8.1 billion tonnes (Bnt) in 2019, up by 2.7% over 2018.

The increase was driven by production increases from the major producing countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Australia.

However, production in 2020 is expected to rise only by 0.5% due to disruption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.

With that, thermal coal production is expected to grow by 0.5% to 7.05Bnt, while metallurgical coal production is forecast to be flat at 1.1Bnt.
