In 2024, against the backdrop of global energy inflation and intensifying geopolitical crises around the world, the dependence on coal as a cost-competitive and reliable energy source has actually increased, with top coal exporters playing a pivotal role in meeting this growing demand.
In addition, trade embargoes and sanctions, as well as soaring energy prices in major economies, have directly led to a greater reliance on coal in order to achieve energy security goals. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, global coal exports have increased by 15%, which is a clear sign of increased dependence on coal.
The total global coal exports in 2024 were 1.547 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.0%. The strong import demand from Asian countries has further expanded the share of exporting countries such as Indonesia and Australia. Indonesia ranks first in the world with an export volume of 557.76 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 7.0%. Australia followed closely with an export volume of 364 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.8%. Mongolia's exports have surged.
