The graphite electrode market is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.35% during the projected period (2024-2029).
The main factor driving the graphite electrode market is the increasing demand from various industrial applications, particularly in steelmaking. Technological advancements in steel manufacturing require increased demand for graphite electrodes, and modern electric arc furnaces require high-quality graphite electrodes for stable reactions. This has led to a growing demand for high-grade graphite electrodes.
The development of the renewable energy sector further expanded the graphite electrode market. The evolution of energy storage systems powered by lithium-ion batteries underscores another growth for graphite electrodes. These storage systems are critical factors in the renewable energy sector, storing the energy produced through solar or wind power.
The global economy's expansion influenced the demand for graphite electrodes. During economic growth and development, industrial activities, such as steel production, tend to increase, leading to higher demand for graphite electrodes.
Several properties of graphite electrodes make them suitable for high resistance to heat and chemical corrosion.
Apart from the production of the steel industry, it is used in the manufacturing of aluminum, lithium, sodium, potassium, sodium hydroxide, sodium chlorate, potassium chlorate, and magnesium, among others. It can be used as fuel, in welding, etc. They have lower carbon emissions as compared to the carbon electrodes during steel production. This multiple application of graphite electrodes makes it valuable for different industrial applications.
One of the primary drivers for the graphite electrodes is the steel industry. Steel is applicable in multiple places from automobiles to building significant infrastructures. The manufacturing of steel needed an electric arc furnace (EAF), where the graphite electrode is needed. The demand for graphite electrodes is significant in the steel industry as they are required for low energy consumption and carbon emissions.
China is the largest producer of steel followed by India. These two nations, based in the Asia Pacific are the largest consumer as well as the largest producer of steel. They export steel to the world. The application of steel has multiple applications such as the building of skyscrapers, bridges, trains, vehicles, roads, houses, etc. This huge demand for steel would generate the demand for graphite electrodes for its manufacturing processes. Along with these two developing nations, many African nations are also growing in demand for graphite electrodes as they want to utilize their in-house resources to make steel.
The growth of the electrical vehicle across the world would generate the demand for graphite electrodes. Each electric vehicle needed significant graphite electrodes in the battery packs as the anode. This demand for electric vehicles would generate the application growth of the graphite electrodes. According to the IEA (International Energy Agency), the demand for EV batteries will be 750 GWh in 2023, which is 40% up from 2022. This rising number of EV batteries has contributed to the increasing demand for critical rare earth minerals like lithium. The demand for lithium was 140 kt in 2023.
As per the research, lithium-ion batteries would be a better option for future transportation compared to hydrogen cells as the cost of storage, maintenance, and losses are much less than later. The future of electric vehicles significantly depends upon the few significant players in the global market such as Tesla and BYD. In the European region, the need for electric vehicles for heavy transport is showing significant growth.
GRAPHITE ELECTRODE MARKET GEOGRAPHICAL OUTLOOK
The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region such as ASEAN countries. India and China are the two largest producers of steel in the region. India's finished steel consumption was at 119.17 MT in FY23 and 112 MT in FY24 until January 2024.
The country is witnessing growth due to the easy availability of low-cost manpower and the presence of iron ore reserves. The industry is witnessing consolidation of players, which has led to investment from other sectors. Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) and Ladle Furnaces are two important processes where graphite electrodes are needed for the refining of steel. It is used in ladle furnaces to provide the necessary heat for refining and alloying processes. In Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), graphite electrodes are used to conduct electricity and generate high-temperature arcs for the melting of the raw materials.
China is bound to be the leading player in the market, as being the leading steel producer, the country has several key players such as Orient Carbon Industry Co., Ltd., RongXing Carbon, JINSUN New Material Technology LTD., Zhengzhou RongSheng Refractory Co.
