Establishments primarily engaged in producing bituminous coal in underground mines or in developing bituminous coal underground mines. This industry includes underground mining by owners or lessees or by establishments which have complete responsibility for operating bituminous coal underground mines for others on a contract or fee basis. Bituminous coal preparation plants performing such activities as cleaning, crushing, screening or sizing are included if operated in conjunction with a mine. Independent bituminous coal preparation plants are classified in Industry 1221.

Industry trends:

The bituminous coal underground mining industry (NAICS 1222) is currently facing several significant qualitative trends that are shaping its landscape. One prominent trend is the increasing pressure for environmental sustainability. Regulatory bodies and public opinion are pushing for reduced carbon emissions, leading mining companies to adopt cleaner technologies and more efficient mining practices. This shift is also driving investment in research and development for alternative, environmentally-friendly energy sources, which may gradually reduce the demand for bituminous coal.

Another notable trend is the impact of digital transformation. Mining operators are increasingly implementing automation, IoT (Internet of Things), and data analytics to enhance operational efficiency and safety. These technologies are enabling real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing downtime, and improving overall productivity.

Labor market dynamics are also shifting. There is a growing emphasis on workforce retraining and upskilling to handle advanced machinery and technology-driven operations. This is essential as older, traditional mining methods become obsolete, and new techniques take their place.

In terms of market forecasts, the near future suggests a gradual decline in demand for bituminous coal due to the global pivot towards renewable energy sources. However, developing nations with burgeoning industrial sectors may still present opportunities for short-term demand stabilizations. Companies within the industry may also explore diversification strategies to mitigate risks associated with the decreasing reliance on coal.
