针状焦市场趋势

石墨电极领域占据市场主导地位

针状焦是电炉石墨电极的主要原料。它是一种优质、高价值的石油焦,用于生产热膨胀係数 (CTE) 非常低的石墨电极。

由于石墨电极在钢铁等金属工业用的电炉中的应用十分广泛,因此石墨电极用针状焦的应用占针状焦用量的最大份额。

石墨具有高导热性,耐热、耐衝击。它还具有低电阻,这对于传递熔化钢所需的大电流是必要的。这使得它能够承受 EAF(电炉)中产生的极高热量。为了製造电极,必须透过煅烧和再煅烧等过程将焦炭转化为石墨,这可能需要长达六个月的时间。

石墨电极分为RP石墨电极、HP石墨电极、SHP石墨电极、UHP石墨电极四种。

石墨电极主要用于电工钢、合金钢、各种合金及非金属的生产。这些电极能够产生高热量,也用于钢铁提炼和类似的冶炼製程。废铁可以在电炉中以约 1,600°C 的温度熔化。

根据Sanergy Group Limited的资料,预计2023年全球石墨电极产量将达到878.5万吨,2024年将达到79.54万吨。

2023年12月,Graphite India Limited(GIL)向Godi India Private Ltd.投资5亿印度卢比(约600万美元)购买强制转换优先股。透过这笔投资,GIL将持有Godi India 31%的股份。 Godi India 致力于先进的研究和开发,以帮助生产用于电动车 (EV) 的永续电池和基于超级电容器的能源储存系统。 Godi India 的环保和碳中和製程包括 Aqueous Electrode ProcessingTM、Active Dry CoatingTM 和 Pranic BinderTM。此项投资符合 GIL 进军先进电池和能源储存技术的多元化策略。

2023年11月,HEG有限公司成功将其位于印度中央邦的石墨电极产能从每年8万吨扩大至每年10万吨。该公司为此次产能扩张投入了 1,200 亿印度卢比(143,741,000 美元)。至此,HEG已成为西方世界第三大石墨电极公司。

预计上述因素将在预测期内影响石墨电极应用对针状焦的需求。

亚太地区占市场主导地位

亚太地区预计将主导针状焦市场,因为它包括中国(最大的针状焦生产国和消费国)和日本等国家。

中国石墨电极消费量和生产能力均居世界第一。中国有40多家正规的石墨电极生产企业。中国市场对石墨电极的需求以及电动车产业成长所导致的锂离子电池阳极进一步多样化,都在推动针状焦需求的復苏。在可预见的未来,预计这种需求将继续稳定成长,价格也将相应上涨。

除此之外,我国政府也注重发展环保钢铁生产方式。因此,中国当局正积极推广电弧炉(EAF)技术,以减少碳排放并促进钢铁业的永续性。电弧炉技术主要以废铁为原料,利用电力进行熔炼。在国家扶持政策的推动下,预计电弧炉技术的采用将成为中国的流行趋势,从而加强对石墨电极的需求。

Over the medium term, increasing investments in EAF steel manufacturing and favorable government policies to increase scrap steel consumption are significant factors driving the growth of the studied market.

However, health hazards associated with petroleum coke are likely to hinder the growth of the studied market.

The increase in lithium-ion battery production globally is likely to act as an opportunity for the market studied during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific emerged as the dominant market. It is also expected to register the highest CAGR from 2024 to 2029 due to the high demand from countries such as India, China, Japan, and others.

Needle Coke Market Trends

Graphite Electrodes Segment to Dominate the Market

Needle coke is a primary raw material for graphite electrodes in electric furnaces. It is a premium-grade, high-value petroleum coke used to manufacture graphite electrodes with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).

Owing to the wide application of graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces, which are used in steel and other metal industries, the application of needle coke for graphite electrodes accounts for the largest application of needle coke.

Graphite has high thermal conductivity and is resistant to heat and any impact. Also, it has low electrical resistance, which is needed to conduct large electrical currents necessary to melt iron. Thus, it can sustain extremely high heat levels generated by EAF (electric arc furnace). Making the electrodes requires processing coke, including baking and rebaking, to convert it into graphite, which can take up to six months.

Graphite electrodes are divided into four types: RP graphite electrodes, HP graphite electrodes, SHP graphite electrodes, and UHP graphite electrodes.

Graphite electrodes are primarily used to manufacture electric arc furnace steel, alloy steel, various alloys, and nonmetals. These electrodes can generate high levels of heat and are also used in refining steel and similar smelting processes. They can melt iron scrap in an electric arc furnace at about 1,600°C.

According to data from Sanergy Group Limited, the production volume of graphite electrodes worldwide was 8785 thousand metric tons in 2023 and is projected to reach 795.4 thousand metric tons in 2024.

In December 2023, Graphite India Limited (GIL) invested INR 50 crore (approximately USD 6 million) in compulsorily convertible preference shares of Godi India Private Ltd. This investment provides GIL with a 31% equity shareholding in Godi India. Godi India is engaged in advanced Research and development to support the production of sustainable batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and supercapacitor-based energy storage systems. Godi India's environment-friendly and carbon-neutral processes include Aqueous Electrode ProcessingTM, Active Dry CoatingTM, and Pranic BinderTM. This investment aligns with GIL's strategy to diversify into advanced battery and energy storage technologies.

In November 2023, HEG Limited successfully expanded its graphite electrode capacity in Madhya Pradesh, India, from 80 kilotons per annum to 100 kilotons per annum. The company made a substantial investment of INR 1,200 crore (USD 143.741 million) for this capacity expansion. As a result, HEG is the third-largest graphite electrode company in the Western world.

The factors mentioned above are expected to affect the demand for needle coke for graphite electrode application during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to Dominate the Market

Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the needle coke market, as it includes countries such as China (the biggest producer and consumer of needle coke) and Japan.

China holds the largest share of graphite electrode consumption and production capacity in the global scenario. There are over 40 official graphite electrode manufacturers in China. The Chinese market's demand for graphite electrodes and further diversification into lithium-ion battery anodes, fueled by the EV industry's growth, are both driving a comeback in the demand for needle coke. For the foreseeable future, this demand is expected to continue to increase steadily, with corresponding pricing support.

In addition to this, the Chinese government is also focusing on developing eco-friendly means of producing steel. Hence, Chinese authorities are actively promoting Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology as a means to curb carbon emissions and foster sustainability in the steel industry. EAF technology relies primarily on steel scrap as its raw material, with electricity used to melt it. Driven by supportive national policies, the adoption of EAF technology is poised to become a prevailing trend in China, consequently bolstering the demand for graphite electrodes.

Japan is one of the leading producers and exporters of petroleum, coal, and tar-based pitch needle coke. Japanese companies are one of the largest producers of graphite electrodes in the world. The market giants of graphite electrodes include Showa Denko, Nippon Carbon, SEC Carbon, and Tokai Carbon.

The Indian steel industry is actively working to reduce carbon emissions through intensified efforts to decarbonize. As part of this push, there is a rising trend in adopting electric arc furnace (EAF) technology for steel production. EAFs rely on electricity and steel scrap, making them a more sustainable choice than traditional methods.

With the growing adoption of EAFs, there is a significant expected surge in demand for graphite electrodes. The Indian government's move to eliminate customs duty on scrap imports directly benefits EAF steel manufacturers. Coupled with favorable national policies, these further fuel the shift toward EAFs and drive the demand for graphite electrodes.

JFE Steel, Japan's second-largest steelmaker, announced in November 2023 its plans to construct a large-scale electric arc furnace (EAF). The EAF is slated to replace an existing blast furnace at its Kurashiki plant by around 2027. This strategic move underscored the company's commitment to curbing carbon emissions, which is in line with global climate change initiatives. The new EAF will primarily cater to automotive and other sectors, with an anticipated annual emissions reduction of 2.6 million tons.

Graphite electrodes play an important role in the electric arc furnace (EAF) process, a key method for steel production. The steel sector in South Korea is significant, driving the nation's economic growth by catering to industries like automotive, construction, and shipbuilding. The steel industry accounts for 1.5% of the nation's GDP and 4.9% of its manufacturing sector, as reported by the Korean Iron & Steel Association. Notably, South Korea ranks as the sixth-largest steel producer globally.

Hence, Asia-Pacific is likely to dominate the global needle-coke market based on the aspects mentioned above.
