Hard Coal Mining in France industry analysis

Europe’s hard coal mining revenue is forecast to slump at a compound annual rate of 11.4% over the five years through 2024. Coal has been continually phased out in energy production, weighing on demand for the industry’s largest market and weakening revenue prospects for coal miners. Despite the long-term shift away from coal, supply chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict have led to uncertainties surrounding the supply of natural gas, leading to many nations increasing their consumption of coal as a power source in 2022, spurring an increase in price and, as such, revenue. However, coal consumption has since eased.

Trends and Insights

  • Supply chain disruptions spur coal prices to soar. The Russia-Ukraine conflict caused uncertainties surrounding the supply of natural gas, leading to an increase in demand for coal from power generators.
  • Opencast mines tend to be more efficient to run. Coal miners operating opencast mines incur fewer capital costs than those operating underground coal mining operations, making them more popular where possible.
  • Large companies dominate the industry. Many coal mining companies have operated in the industry for a long time, so they have established and well-known operations.
