Needle coke is an essential component of steel production. It is used as the main heating element for the electric arc furnace (EAF) that melts and refines scrap metal into steel. It is also used to make graphite electrodes for use in the steel industry and for battery anode material.

Market Dynamics:

The global needle coke market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to the high demand for graphite electrodes for EAFs and for lithium-ion battery anode materials. In addition, the need to reduce the carbon emissions in the environment is also driving needle coke market growth. Moreover, the rising disposable income and swift urbanization in developed countries are further fuelling needle coke market growth.  Additionally, increasing consumption of steel in automobiles and airplanes is again contributing to the needle coke market growth.

On the other hand, negative impact of Covid-19 is expected to hamper the market growth.
