2013: Despite some pull-back of US exports and Colombian strikes, market remains over-supplied as Australians increase volume.
2014: Oversupply persists, further rationalization required…

Summary and conclusions
The makeup of the global coal industry is changing, with demand shifting inexorably to the Pacific. Traditional Atlantic Basin suppliers are seeking means of participating in this growth market. Strong and sustainable demand, reliable infrastructure, and a supportive pricing environment are all critical to the long-term competitiveness of remote coals into the Asian market.
Global suppliers are facing margin pressure from increasing costs and a persistent low price environment. Investment decisions are being delayed as a result, which could contribute to shortages once the current supply overhang is absorbed.
China, India, and other emerging economies of Asia have shown a willingness to trade coal quality for a lower price, which is favoring lower rank coals from Indonesia and higher ash coals from Australia. The availability and pricing of higher quality coals favored by Japanese buyers may increasingly be under pressure as a result.
While Japan’’’’s market share will inevitably fall as demand from China and India increases, it will remain an important and attractive market for global suppliers. Buyers should be focused on developing a tolerance for a wider range of coal specifications in order to enhance supply security and reduce costs.
