Coal Product Manufacturing in China industry analysis

The Coal Product Manufacturing in China has exhibited declined growth over the past five years, mainly affected by the accelerated process of global ‘de-coal' and clean energy substitution. In addition, with the realization of central heating in cities of China in winter and the popularity of gas and natural gas in cities, fewer and fewer consumers use coal products as fuel for heating and cooking. The demand for coal products declined in recent years. Industry revenue is expected to decrease at an annualized rate of 5.7% over the five years through 2023, to an estimated $2.8 billion. This trend includes a decline of 5.4% in the current year. The number of industry enterprises is expected to decrease at an annualized 1.8% from 172 in 2018 to an estimated 157 in 2023. Many of the companies currently operating in the industry are small, and extensive restructuring over the past few years has led to some mergers and acquisitions. This trend led to the fall in enterprise numbers over the period.Industry profit is expected to account for 3.1% of industry revenue in 2023. Higher regulations within the industry have been raising production costs for coal product manufacturers over the past few years. In addition, raw material prices have been increasing.Industry revenue is forecast to decrease at an annualized 4.1% over the five years through 2028, to $2.3 billion. Coal products are highly polluting, and as China's economy grows, the government is increasingly focusing on protecting the environment. In the future, the main downstream industries of the Coal Product Manufacturing in China will reduce the use of coal products because of their low calorific value and high pollution. Future domestic economic growth will therefore lead to a slowdown in demand for products from the industry.The number of industry enterprises is forecast to decrease in the coming years. Higher concentration will make the industry able to better optimize resources for distribution and waste reduction.
