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.

  • One of the primary reasons for this is density. The density of graphite electrodes is higher, between 1.6-1.78g/cm3. High conductivity for the carbon atoms in graphite is conducive to the free flow of electrons. Further, graphite has high mechanical strength, making it suitable for the bending moment.
  • The thermal conductivity of graphite is excellent. As a non-metallic mineral, its heat conduction method is the thermal vibration of lattice atoms to transfer heat. The thermal expansion coefficient of graphite is much lower than other materials and is suitable for environments with high temperatures and changes. Being chemically stable in the property, it is corrosion resistant and does not react with other substances at room temperature.

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.
