At -1.8% CAGR, the Europe Solid Fuel Market is projected to be worth US$ 30,686.97 Million by 2028, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Europe solid fuel market was valued at US$ 34,129.61 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 30,686.97 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of -1.8% from 2022 to 2028. Rising demand for petcoke and establishment of refineries driving use of coal are the critical factors attributed to the Europe solid fuel market expansion.  

In June 2022, the IEA oil market report predicted that net global refining capacity would expand by an extra 1.6 million b/d in 2023. The expansion or new refining capacity growth consists of various high-capacity refinery projects underway. Therefore, the expansion of refineries would increase the use of solid fuels, which is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the solid fuels market during the forecast period. Current refineries and combinations of refinery by-products and coal are used to produce an array of end products such as gasoline, carbon anodes, jet fuel, and heating oil. With many refineries, the demand for coal as an energy source has increased. Many of the biggest oil refining companies across the world are in Europe. The presence of a large number of refineries drives the demand for solid fuels, bolstering the solid fuels market growth.  

On the contrary, availability of coal substitutes hurdles the growth of Europe solid fuel market.
