Vietnam’s total coal imports reached a historic high of 65.43 million tonnes in 2025, a 2.6% increase year-on-year, driven by soaring electricity demand from the country’s manufacturing boom. Data from Vietnam Customs shows that coal-fired power plants, which provide over 50% of the nation’s energy supply, consumed more than 90% of these imports. Indonesia solidified its position as the leading supplier, accounting for 48.4% of the total volume in December 2025 alone, followed by Australia and Russia. Despite the record volume, the growth rate decelerated from previous years as Vietnam simultaneously accelerated its transition toward renewable energy.
