IEA: Global coal demand to rise 1.2% to 8.94 billion tons in 2026 due to Middle East conflict

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that global coal demand will increase by 1.2% in 2026, reaching a record 8.94 billion tons, driven by conflicts in the Middle East. According to the IEA's estimate, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are playing a decisive role in pressuring energy markets. The conflict environment is restricting access to alternative energy sources, thereby supporting coal demand upward. This demand increase marks a new peak in global coal consumption. The IEA's projected level of 8.94 billion tons for 2026 signals that coal will maintain its weight in the global energy mix. The report emphasizes that the impact of the Middle East conflict on energy supply security is the primary factor shaping coal demand. Not investment advice.
