The global hydraulic roof supports market size is expected to be worth USD 3730.2 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 7211.74 million by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% during the forecast period.
Hydraulic roof supports control mine roof height during coal mining, allowing armored-face conveyors and shearers to operate underneath. A coal mining and excavating system's hydraulic roof support typically accounts for over 50% of the total value. These hydraulic roof supports is primarily used in coal mining. They are used for high mining height mining, top coal caving mining, and fully mechanized mining. Long wall top coal caving mining utilizes powered sections of hydraulic props to ensure the safety of personnel. Hydraulic props are designed with two telescopic pistons for a wide range of serviced heights. The ecology of the mining area, and surface structures such as buildings, railroads, highways, water bodies, and dams are impacted by the surface movement and deformation caused by coal mining. Mining caused strata and surface movement, which disrupted various aspects of industrial and agricultural production in the mining area.
The type of hydraulic roof supports includes, chock support, shield support, and chock shield support. Among these, chock shield support is quite common in longwall top coal cave mining. Chock shields supports always have four hydraulic legs that are vertical or inclined and are all connected to the support's canopy. The majority of chock shields have inclined legs because they provide more support pressure to the canopy. Whereas, in terms of chock and shield supports, to protect the hydraulic powered chock from falling debris on the goaf side, a venetian blind type flushing shield suspended from the rear of the main canopy is used, whereas a shield has a sloping rigid one-piece roof with adjustable inclination on the goaf side.
COVID-19 Impact: Decline on Coal Mining to Hamper Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a wide-ranging impact on most of the global markets. Company operations have been hampered by the sudden surge of the pandemic and government-mandated shutdowns, and demand for many commodities remains low, with lower near-term demand expected. As the export and import of coal and coal mining was severely affected due to the pandemic outbreak, it also had a serious impact on the hydraulic roof supports market growth. Ease of lockdown and the decline in the overall COVID-19 cases is expected to have a positive impact on the market during the forecast period.
Latest Trends
"Reliance of other Countries on Coal from Developing Economies to Drive the Market"
The coal market is expected to be driven by the increasing share of coal in power generation in some countries. There are about 20 countries that generate power with coal, including nine in Africa, three in Central America, two in the Middle East, and three in Asia. These countries could commission more than 65 coal-fired power plants by 2025, generating 50 GW of electricity. The Philippines, Malaysia, and Vietnam are also expected to increase coal use significantly. Due to their abundant coal reserves and economic attractiveness, countries such as China, India, and Indonesia, where electricity is primarily generated from coal, will significantly reduce the share of coal in their energy mix. In the coming years, the coal market will be driven by a continued global demand for coal in power generation, as well as an increase in coal's share of power generation in some countries.

Driving Factors
"Low Price of Coal to Drive the Market"
As hydraulic roof supports are used in coal mining, the advantages of coal also effects the global market. Coal is less expensive than the other leading alternatives. This is also reflected in the amount of power generated by coal. It costs a few cents per kilowatt-hour to operate. In the end, what matters is how affordable the power is. If you are primarily concerned with cost, there is no better companion than coal. Because coal is cheaper, the costs of power generated by coal are also lower than those of coal and other alternative power sources.
"Coal Compatibility with Other Energy Sources to Drive the Market"
Coal source has the benefit of being compatible with other energy sources. You could, for example, incorporate biomass technology into coal facilities. This combination provides numerous benefits. Reduced carbon emissions, reliable long-term energy production, and higher long-term economic output are among them. Furthermore, if the coal eventually runs out, the same facilities can be used to provide other sources of power to the same population at any time.
Restraining Factors
"Environmental Issues Caused due to Mining to Restrain the Market"
Trees are cut down or burned, plants are uprooted, and topsoil is scraped away as part of the process of clearing the way for a coal mine. As a result, the land is destroyed (it can no longer be used for crop planting) and soil erosion occurs. Rains can wash away the loosened topsoil, and the sediments end up in rivers, streams, and waterways. They can kill fish and plant life downstream and clog river channels, causing flooding.

"Asia Pacific to Lead the Market Owing to the Rich Abundance of Coal"
During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific is expected to lead the market share due to the presence of the abundant coal reserve in the countries like India, and China. Coal is one of India's most important and abundant fossil fuels. It supplied roughly half of the country's energy requirements. Coal is not only the country's primary source of energy; it is also used as an intermediary by many industries, including steel, sponge iron, cement, paper, and brick kilns.
Europe is the second largest share holder of the hydraulic roof supports market due to the increasing industrialization and the usage of various mechanized products for mining. Europe also have the presence of more number of market players after Asia Pacific.
