Coal and ore wholesalers have faced severe disruptions during the pandemic, leading to significant dips in prices and revenue in 2020. Just slightly after, wholesalers experienced a resurgence as high natural gas prices made coal more cost-effective for energy producers. Even so, this growth was short-lived as supply chains normalized later on, causing prices to push back down. Overall, revenue is set to creep upward at a CAGR of 2.2% through 2024, reaching $30.6 billion. Revenue is set to push down 4.7% in 2024 alone while profit remains elevated.
