As we all know, in China's energy structure, the dominant position of coal energy will not change for a long time.

The demand for coal machinery equipment (referred to as coal machine) is closely related to the demand for coal. To a certain extent, it can be said that the demand for coal is the demand for coal machinery. The demand for coal depends on the demand for coal energy from all walks of life.

According to the specific data, the "Annual Report on the Development of the Coal Industry 2018" released by the China Coal Industry Association on March 7 shows that the supply capacity of the entire coal industry has increased significantly. Data show that the national raw coal output in 2018 was 3.68 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%.

National coal imports in 2018 were 281 million tons, up 3.9% year-on-year; exports were 4.934 million tons, down 39% year-on-year; net imports were 276 million tons, up 5.2% year-on-year, a high level in the past four years.

In terms of consumption, national coal consumption in 2018 increased by 1% year-on-year. From the perspective of major coal-consuming industries, it is estimated that the electricity industry consumes about 2.1 billion tons of coal throughout the year, the steel industry consumes 620 million tons of coal, the building materials industry consumes 500 million tons of coal, the chemical industry consumes 280 million tons of coal, and other industries reduce coal About 60 million tons.

China's coal supply capacity has increased. In 2018, the national raw coal production was 3.68 billion tons, up 4.5% year-on-year; coal imports increased, importing 281 million tons, up 3.9% year-on-year; exporting 4.934 million tons, down 39% year-on-year; High level for the past four years.

The "Report" makes it clear that with the continuous release of new coal production capacity, coal production will further increase. According to the survey of the China Coal Industry Association, in 2019 , coal production will be increased by about 100 million tons.

At the same time, with the continuous improvement of coal mine safety production facilities, the environmental protection measures are gradually in place, the utilization rate of production capacity is improved, and the effective coal supply quality is continuously improved.

Looking ahead to the trend of China's coal market in 2019, from the perspective of demand, the long-term development trend of China's economy is stable and good, and progress is stable. Economic growth is changing to high-quality development, which will further drive energy demand. Electricity is consumed in final energy consumption. The proportion in China is getting higher and higher, and the demand for thermal coal is expected to increase.

Overall analysis, coal consumption in 2019 is expected to remain basically stable with little increase; the release of domestic coal production capacity is accelerating, the coal supply capacity is further increased, and the supply and demand of the national coal market will gradually shift toward easing.
