Market Insights

The Lignite coal market is expected to see significant growth, with growing energy demand and increasing the use of lignite coal as a fuel for electricity generation. Increased natural gas prices, along with high hard coal prices, are expected to support demand for lignite coal. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, economies are moving toward safe sources of power generation. As a result, there is a growing tendency towards alternative energy sources, such as renewable energy, thermal power plants, and other hydroelectric power plants. The low cost of lignite coal is another factor driving demand for the lignite coal market.

It is positioned as a low-cost increase in merit-order curves competing with hard coal and gas. Lignite is also used in the production of coal-based fertilizers. Further, the development of coal-to-liquid (CTL) technology has broadened the range of applications for lignite coal. This, in turn, is expected to drive demand for lignite coal over the forecast period. However, the growing trend towards clean energy, combined with increasing investment in renewable energy, is expected to hinder the growth of the lignite coal market during the forecast period (2017-2025).

Competitive Insights:

The global lignite coal market is segmented on the basis of application and geography. By application, in 2016 the power generation segment was the most dominant segment accounting for the largest revenue share in the global lignite coal market. The growing use of lignite coal as fuel in thermal power plants is anticipated to drive the growth of the segment during the forecast period. Others application is anticipated to be the fastest-growing application among all applications in the global lignite coal market. Advancement in technology has facilitated the production of synthetic natural gas from lignite coal using coal to liquid technology attracting investment across the globe.
