GlobalData's "Coal Mining in the US to 2023" provides a comprehensive coverage on the US's coal industry. It provides reserves, production by grade and type, consumption by type to 2023, and exports. The exports section also provides information on export by port. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the coal industry in the US, profiles of major coal producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects and regulations governing the industry.

The US was the third-largest coal producer in the world after China and India, with 685.4Mt in 2018, down by 2.5% over 2017, owing to lower production at Cloud Peak Energy’s Antelope and Cordero Rojo mines - a combined 20.4% decline in 2018 over 2017, due to weather disruptions caused from heavy rains. The key coal-producing states were Wyoming, West Virginia, and Illinois. A total of 589.3Mt of coal was consumed in the same year while 104.9Mt of coal was exported. Consumption declined owing to heavy competition from alternative sources such as natural gas and renewable sources. Simultaneously, exports increased due to strong demand, especially from India, Netherlands, Japan, and South Korea.
