Imports of coking coal in Finland are forecasted to be stable from 2024 to 2028, fluctuating slightly from 1.2 million metric tons in 2024 to 1.21 million metric tons in 2026. The year-on-year variation is minimal with a predicted increment of approximately 0.83% from 2025 to 2026, followed by a plateau. Given that in 2023 the actual imports stood at 1.2 million metric tons, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years is projected to be negligible.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global coking coal supply and demand dynamics, changes in Finland's domestic steel production capacity, and ongoing developments in alternative energy sources and sustainability measures within the heavy industry sector.
