Global Needle Coke market will reach 4240 million US$ by the end of 2025
Published Date: 2019/2/20
Needle coke is a needle-shaped carbon material. With low electrical resistance, strong shock resistance and good anti-oxidation ability, it can be widely used in ultra-high graphite electrode, nuclear reactor deceleration materials and LIB anode materials. According to different raw material, needle coke can be classified as coal-based and petroleum-based.
China has huge demand for needle cokes since it is the largest steel producer in the world. China has smaller amount of needle coke enterprises which feature weak technological base and are huddled by the uncertainty of stable production and product quality. In 2013-2017, Asia Pacific’s consumption of needle coke soared from 378 K MT to 436 K MT.
Price of needle coke increased greatly in 2017. Global average price increased from 1417 USD/MT in 2016 to 3136 USD/MT in 2017, with increase rate of 121.2%. Since 2017, China has stringent requirements for chemical company about environment issues. So, most suppliers reduce their production and market gap have increased. Depend on this supply and demand status, China needle coke price increased since June 2017.
In the future, we predict that global consumption will increase. By 2025, global demand will be 1127 K MT. Although China have needle coke capacity which have not been put into production, the start-operation probability is very small under strict government policy and great environment pressure.
The global Needle Coke market is valued at 2690 million US$ in 2017 and will reach 4240 million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% during 2018-2025.
