Australia has a large supply of mineral, hydrocarbon and non-mineral reserves, which are often high quality and close to the Earth’s surface, enabling Australia’s Mining division to be globally price competitive. Fluctuations in commodity prices have fuelled revenue volatility over the past few years. Energy supply shocks, driven by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have sent global energy prices soaring, boosting the value of coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports over the past few years. However, softening energy prices in the two years through 2024-25 will constrain energy export revenue and weaken expansion. Iron ore prices have also fluctuated significantly in recent years. These prices climbed to a peak in 2020-21 because of supply chain disruptions in Brazil. However, a recent property market crisis in China has weakened steel demand, causing iron ore prices to sink and reach a two-year low in September 2024. The price bounced back in October 2024 amid optimism surrounding the Chinese economy and stimulus measures, but is forecast to drop in 2024-25 as recent trade tensions and the United States’ sweeping tariffs exacerbated this trend and pushed prices down. Division revenue is expected to have risen at an annualised 0.6% over the five years through 2024-25, to $437.3 billion. This includes an anticipated fall of 10.5% in 2024-25 as the values of coal, LNG and iron ore exports ease on the back of softening prices. Some miners have pivoted towards future-facing commodities like copper and lithium to align with energy transition trends, but oversupply and softening prices pose ongoing profitability challenges. Soaring operational costs are compounding these issues as labour shortages, rising input costs and sophisticated competition have eroded profit margins. While commodity prices like oil, gas and coal have retracted from recent highs, they remain above 2019-20 levels, offering some relief and counteracting profitability dips. Many mining companies have moved from completing expansion programs to rebalancing their portfolios and implementing cost-reduction initiatives, offsetting profitability slumps. Output across several key commodities like iron ore is set to climb as new mines and expansion projects come online. Despite this, a global supply glut will ease commodity prices, reducing division revenue. Revenue is forecast to decline at an annualised 3.1% over the five years through 2029-30, to $374.3 billion. Growing demand for critical minerals and commodities used in renewable infrastructure represents a growth opportunity for some areas of the Mining division. Consolidation trends will also accelerate over the coming years as larger miners undertake mergers and acquisitions.

Coal miners have endured a rollercoaster of challenges and opportunities, marked by fluctuating coal prices and a shifting demand landscape. Coal miners faced severe disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic, only to recover with a notable recovery as economies reopened. Coal miners have faced a domestic versus international demand dichotomy as infrastructure investments have boosted domestic steel production. Yet, cleaner production methods have hindered the growth of coal from domestic sources. Consequently, domestic coal miners have increasingly sought international markets, with countries like India and China being key export destinations, capitalizing on these regions' heavy reliance on coal for power generation and steel production. Still, recent tariffs on US energy by China may hinder this source of growth, with coal miners increasingly leaning on India as an export market. Industry revenue has been increasing at a CAGR of 8.2% over the past five years to total an estimated $30.4 billion in 2025, including an estimated decrease of 0.1% in 2025. It should be noted that this strong growth was because of a low base year in 2020 when coal prices and production plummeted. Coal miners have navigated through a period of intense volatility. While production dipped as the world staggered under the weight of the pandemic, a surge in demand and prices in 2021 and 2022, spurred by the reopening of the economy and an energy crisis because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, catalyzed a spike in revenues for coal miners. However, normalizing prices and the domestic market have progressively contracted because of a continued shift towards renewable energy sources. This has resulted in consolidation within the industry, shrinking the number of operating coal mines and concentrating market power in the hands of larger companies. Looking ahead, coal miners anticipate navigating both challenges and opportunities over the next five years. Coal miners will continue to look to export markets for growth despite potential headwinds from global environmental policies and increasing renewable energy adoption. Domestically, the push towards clean energy technologies and the expanding role of electric arc furnaces in steel production will place additional pressure on coal demand. Still, potential upticks in steaming coal consumption, driven by rising natural gas prices and heightened energy needs from burgeoning manufacturing and tech sectors, may provide a reprieve. The merger between Consol Energy and Arch Resources might further reshape industry dynamics, potentially enhancing pricing power and operational efficiencies and prompting competitors to innovate to remain viable.
