Saudi Arabia Coal Market Synopsis

Saudi Arabia is the largest producer and exporter of oil in the world. However, due to growing electricity demand, it has started exploring other energy sources including coal. Saudi Arabia has taken up several projects such as building new power plants that will use imported coal as a fuel source for producing clean energy. The coal market in Saudi Arabia is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% during 2025-2031 driven by increasing demand from domestic industry and services sectors, government initiatives towards diversifying its energy mix and rising investments in renewable sources of energy.

Growing Electricity Demand with rapid population growth coupled with economic development, electricity consumption in Saudi Arabia is expected to increase significantly over the coming years leading to an increased demand for coal. The government of Saudi Arabia has outlined plans on diversifying its energy mix which includes utilising thermal fuels like coal which can help reduce crude oil usage and provide a reliable supply of electricity across the country. Increasing investments into renewable projects are encouraging private entities looking to develop solar and wind power generation projects which could lead to further expansion in future.

Challenges of the Market
