Indonesia's Coal Sector Faces Challenges, an Industrial Info Market Brief

Indonesia's coal miners are experiencing a negative trend in the market due to declining coal prices and import restrictions for the country's two major coal buyers, China and India. Coal market prices are on a downward direction due to demand shrinkage, further exacerbated by China and India limiting their import to stimulate their own domestic coal industries. Coal companies in the Kalimantan Region, Indonesia's coal mining hub, are now reviewing projects planned to increase logistics (coal ports and terminals) due to market conditions. Industrial Info is tracking 72 coal mines in Indonesia.
