Graphite Electrode Market By Electrode grade, By Application, and Region Forecast 2019-2030  

Graphite Electrode Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Electrode grade (Ultra high power and High power & regular power), By Application (Electric arc furnace, Ladle furnace, and Non-steel application), and Region Forecast 2019-2030  

Graphite Electrode Market size was valued at US$ 7,994.4 million in 2023 and is forecast to cross US$ 11,926.2 million by 2030, with a CAGR of 9.11%. from 2024 - 2030. Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, steel producers around the globe are seeing high growth opportunities. High-quality steel consumption growth in sectors such as building and construction, automotive, and aviation would result in a proportional increase in demand for graphite electrodes. Rising iron and steel production in developing countries, and growing steel scrap availability in China, thus raising the use of electric arc furnaces, are expected to drive market demand during the forecast period.

Growing prices of needle coke are likely to impede the growth of the market, resulting in supply tightness among other constraints, such as limited growth of UHP graphite electrodes in China and consolidation of the graphite electrode industry. The Graphite Electrodes Market is now being driven by a significant upward trend in innovative infrastructure and expanding demand for the production of iron and steel. Furthermore, the development in construction and structures is fueling the growth of the Graphite Electrodes market. The Global Graphite Electrodes Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The research includes a detailed analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, constraints, the competitive landscape, and other important market variables.

Graphite Electrode Market Dynamics

In 2016 and 2017, as the government attempted to inscribe a domestic supply oversupply, China's steel industry scene was formed by policy-driven dismissal of IF potential. The use of scrap steel in the EAF and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel mills has reached a total of over 200 million metric tons per year, according to worldsteel.org. In the meantime, the current 130 million metric tons per year zenith of China's EAF capacity has been abandoned as government regulations limit the generation of integrated mills in key areas and encourage their vigorous replacement with EAF capacity. This has given rise to EAF steel demand, thereby boosting the growth of the market for graphite electrodes.
