According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled "Graphite Electrodes Market Report by Product Type (Ultra-high Power (UHP), High Power (HP), Regular Power (RP)), Application (Electric Arc Furnace, Ladle Furnace, Non-Steel Application), and Region 2024-2032," the global graphite electrodes market size reached US$ 6.6 Billion in 2023. Graphite electrodes refer to large cylindrical structures that are obtained by the calcination of amorphous carbon, such as coal pitch, petroleum coke or asphalt coke, using a graphitization furnace. They are characterized by low electrical resistance and excellent mechanical strength and machinability. They also exhibit excellent thermal shock resistance as they can easily withstand high temperature exposures. These electrodes find extensive applications in the production of steel, ferroalloy, and silicon metals and in the smelting process across the electric arc furnace (EAF), blast oxygen furnaces (BOF) and ladle furnace (LF) as they aid in transferring electrical energy from the power source to the steel melt in the furnace bath in an efficient manner.
Global Graphite Electrodes Market Trends:
The global market is primarily driven by the escalating demand for graphite electrodes in steel-oriented sectors, including construction, aerospace and defense, and automotive, that extensively utilize high-quality and anti-corrosive steel products for numerous applications. Apart from this, the oil and gas sector widely employs anti-corrosive products for oil and petroleum wells and pipelines, which has provided an impetus to the market growth. The market is further driven by the rising production of electric vehicles (EVs) across the globe. These vehicles run on lithium-ion batteries, wherein graphite electrodes form an indispensable component. Moreover, the growing focus on recycling scrap steel due to the rising environmental consciousness is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the shifting preference from BOFs to EAFs due to their lower installation costs and environmental impact with improved efficiency is also anticipated to positively influence the market growth. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2024-2032.
