According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Coal Fired Power Generation Market Report by Type (Pulverized Coal Systems, Cyclone Furnace, and Others), End User (Residential, Commercial, Industrial), and Region 2025-2033,” the global coal fired power generation market size reached 2,218.2 GW in 2024. Coal-fired power generation refers to the process of producing electricity by burning coal in power plants. It relies on pulverized coal (PC) plants, fluidized bed combustion (FBC) plants, and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants, where coal is crushed into tiny particles, mixed with limestone or dolomite, and heated and combusted at a lower temperature. It can provide a steady and consistent electricity supply, making it suitable for baseload power generation. It helps to minimize the dependence on imported energy resources and provides a reliable source of energy by utilizing coal. Coal-fired power generation is predominantly used to provide electricity to the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
Global Coal Fired Power Generation Market Trends:
At present, the increasing demand for coal-fired power generation, as it is affordable and allows efficient utilization of existing resources, represents one of the crucial factors impelling the growth of the market. Besides this, the rising development of advanced combustion technologies and efficient processes to reduce emissions and improve the overall efficiency of coal-fired plants is contributing to the growth of the market. In addition, the growing integration of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies in coal-fired power plants to capture carbon dioxide emissions and transport them underground is offering a favorable market outlook. Apart from this, the increasing demand for energy in the residential and commercial sectors is supporting the growth of the market. Additionally, the rising installation of heavy machinery in industries to improve productivity is strengthening the growth of the market. Looking forward, the market volume is projected to reach 2,788.6 GW by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 2.37% during 2025-2033.
