Coal will be patient for a couple of years

Alexander Titov, senior expert at the Energy Department of the Institute for Energy and Finance, commented to Kommersant on the prospects of the global coal market in 2026-2027.

In the first half of 2025, demand for coal was low: the winter in Asia was relatively warm, the rainy season started quite early, plus there were difficulties with the growth of industrial production.

"These factors will no longer come together in 2026, which will contribute to an increase in coal consumption," Alexander Titov is confident.

Although the main risk of a drop in economic growth will remain, he admits, which will lead to a decrease in demand for electricity.
