Which Major Drivers Are Accelerating Expansion Within The Lignite Market?
The rise in demand for electricity and power generation is expected to propel the growth of the lignite mining market going forward. Lignite mining involves the extraction of low-rank coal, primarily used in steam-electric power generation. The demand for lignite is increasing as many power plants prefer it as a cost-effective and readily available fuel source that supports continuous electricity supply. Lignite mining supports the energy sector by providing fuel for thermal power plants, enabling large-scale electricity production, and contributing to energy security. Its utilization in steam-electric power generation ensures efficient conversion of heat energy into electricity, meeting growing energy consumption needs. For instance, in July 2025, according to the RenewableUK, a UK-based non-profit organization, renewable energy sources accounted for 50.4% of the UK’s electricity generation in 2024, up from 46.4% in 2023. Therefore, the rise in demand for electricity or power generation is driving the growth of the lignite mining market.
