|---|---|---|---|
| USD 3.71 Billion | USD 5.15 Billion | 3.7% | 2023 |
The global Needle Coke market size accrued earnings worth approximately USD 3.71 Billion in 2023 and is predicted to gain revenue of about USD 5.15 Billion by 2032, is set to record a CAGR of nearly 3.7% over the period from 2024 to 2032.
Needle coke is mostly utilized as principal raw material for the development of graphite electrodes in different electric furnaces. Needle coke is derived either from petroleum or coal tar. Needle coke based on coal is produced from coal tar during coke production. Coal-based needle coke has exceptional physical properties including low electric resistance and low co-efficient of thermal expansion, coupled with less breakage and less spalling.
Increasing demand for steel and steel products is driving the growth of global needle coke market. Rising technological developments and cost-effectiveness provided by needle coke products are also expected to drive the needle coke market during the forecast period. However, political and economic instability towards petroleum products across the globe may act as a restraint for needle coke market growth.
