Report summary
In our latest annual "5 trends to look for" insight, our global thermal coal markets team assesses 2025's biggest trends to influence supply, demand and price. After a record year in 2024, markets enter a challenging price environment and calls for even higher coal consumption while the world moves ahead under the spectre of a Trump 2.0 administration and a slowing energy transition. Demand in China, India, JKT and other regions remains elevated while supply faces a period of low prices not seen since 2021.
