The Thailand Coal Market is likely to experience consistent growth rate gains over the period 2025 to 2029. From 4.07% in 2025, the growth rate steadily ascends to 15.25% in 2029.
Thailand's Coal market is anticipated to experience a growing growth rate of 6.05% by 2027, reflecting trends observed in the largest economy China, followed by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea.
The coal market in Thailand has been growing steadily, driven by rising demand for electricity from industries and households. The country???s increasing use of imported energy sources has also contributed to the growth of the coal market. However, there have been some challenges related to environmental concerns and government regulations that have hindered the growth of this sector.
The increasing population and economic activities in Thailand are leading to a rise in electricity consumption, which is driving up demand for coal-based power generation. Increasing reliance on imported energy sources such as natural gas is expected to further drive up demand for coal in Thailand over the forecast period. The Thailand government has taken several initiatives to promote clean energy production from renewable sources such as solar or wind power, thus creating an environment conducive to investment into coal-fired power plants. This could create new opportunities for investors interested in investing into this sector.
In order to reduce air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels like coal, Thailand government imposes strict standards on emissions and pollutants released from these plants.This may affect future investments into this sector due to its stringent environmental regulations. Despite recent efforts by the Thailand government towards promoting renewable energy resources, current rates of production are still inadequate.This can lead to higher costs associated with operating existing facilities, resulting in overcapacity issues within the industry.
The outbreak of COVID-19 had a major effect on all sectors including the Coal Market in Thailand as well. With lockdowns being imposed nationwide during 2025 it disrupted supply chains along with reducing international trade volumes significantly impacting revenue streams across various industries particularly those dependent upon imports/exports such as Coal Market players leading them towards financial losses due increased operational costs while facing reduced sales volume throughout 2025 until now 2025 when things are slowly recovering back but still not back at pre pandemic levels yet.
Major domestic companies involved include Banpu Public Company Limited (Thailand), Global Power Synergy PLC (GPSC) - subsidiary company under PTT Group (Thailand), Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding PCL (Thailand), Gulf Energy Development PCL (GED) ??? subsidiary company under Bangchak Corporation PCL
