In June 2025, China's coal imports from Indonesia amounted to 11.62 million tons, a sharp year-on-year decrease of 30%, exceeding the average decline of China's total coal imports (26%). In the first half of 2025, China's cumulative coal imports from Indonesia reached 90.98 million tons, down 12% year-on-year. In June 2025, China's total coal imports were 33.04 million tons, down 26% year-on-year, marking the lowest monthly figure in over two years; total imports in the first half were 221.7 million tons, down 11% year-on-year. Reasons for the decline include Chinese buyers shifting from low-calorific to high-calorific coal, while Indonesian coal is less price-competitive compared to high-quality coal (global coal price declines have made high-calorific coal more cost-effective); increased domestic coal production has reduced overall demand for imported coal, indirectly affecting Indonesian coal import volumes.
