Maldives continues to heavily rely on coal imports, with India, Thailand, China, Malaysia, and Nigeria being the top exporters in 2024. The market shows a high concentration with a very high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) in 2024. Despite a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.0% from 2020 to 2024, there was a significant decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -15.8%. This fluctuation may indicate shifting dynamics in the coal import market for Maldives, highlighting the need for closer monitoring and strategic planning in the energy sector.
The Coal market in Maldives is projected to grow at a growing growth rate of 5.67% by 2027, highlighting the country's increasing focus on advanced technologies within the Asia region, where China holds the dominant position, followed closely by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, shaping overall regional demand.
