DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7m7vgk/coal_mining_in) has announced the addition of the "Coal Mining in the US" report to their offering.
The prices of metallurgical and thermal coal have decreased over the past five years, causing declines in industry revenue. Competition from natural gas has also been eating into coal demand. Fortunately, growing electricity consumption will benefit the industry, as more than half of the coal produced in the United States is used to produce electricity. Demand for metallurgical coal from emerging economies will also remain high, boosting revenue from exports.
This industry mines various types of coal. Mining occurs underground and in surface pits. Most coal mines consist of bituminous coal or anthracite (types of black coal), but firms may also mine lignite (brown coal). Industry firms may also develop coal mine sites and prepare the coal for sale by washing, screening and sizing it.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five-year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
