針狀焦市場趨勢

石墨電極領域佔據市場主導地位

針狀焦是電爐石墨電極的主要原料。它是一種優質、高價值的石油焦，用於生產熱膨脹係數 (CTE) 非常低的石墨電極。

由於石墨電極在鋼鐵等金屬工業用的電爐中的應用十分廣泛，因此石墨電極用針狀焦的應用佔針狀焦用量的最大佔有率。

石墨具有高導熱性，耐熱、耐衝擊。它還具有低電阻，這對於傳遞熔化鋼所需的大電流是必要的。這使得它能夠承受 EAF（電爐）中產生的極高熱量。為了製造電極，必須透過煅燒和再煅燒等過程將焦炭轉化為石墨，這可能需要長達六個月的時間。

石墨電極分為RP石墨電極、HP石墨電極、SHP石墨電極、UHP石墨電極四種。

石墨電極主要用於電工鋼、合金鋼、各種合金及非金屬的生產。這些電極能夠產生高熱量，也用於鋼鐵提煉和類似的冶煉製程。廢鐵可以在電爐中以約 1,600°C 的溫度熔化。

根據Sanergy Group Limited的資料，預計2023年全球石墨電極產量將達到878.5萬噸，2024年將達到79.54萬噸。

2023年12月，Graphite India Limited（GIL）向Godi India Private Ltd.投資5億印度盧比（約600萬美元）購買強制轉換優先股。透過這筆投資，GIL將持有Godi India 31%的股份。 Godi India 致力於先進的研究和開發，以幫助生產用於電動車 (EV) 的永續電池和基於超級電容器的能源儲存系統。 Godi India 的環保和碳中和製程包括 Aqueous Electrode ProcessingTM、Active Dry CoatingTM 和 Pranic BinderTM。此項投資符合 GIL 進軍先進電池和能源儲存技術的多元化策略。

2023年11月，HEG有限公司成功將其位於印度中央邦的石墨電極產能從每年8萬噸擴大至每年10萬噸。該公司為此次產能擴張投入了 1,200 億印度盧比（143,741,000 美元）。至此，HEG已成為西方世界第三大石墨電極公司。

預計上述因素將在預測期內影響石墨電極應用對針狀焦的需求。

亞太地區佔市場主導地位

亞太地區預計將主導針狀焦市場，因為它包括中國（最大的針狀焦生產國和消費國）和日本等國家。

中國石墨電極消費量和生產能力均居世界第一。中國有40多家正規的石墨電極生產企業。中國市場對石墨電極的需求以及電動車產業成長所導致的鋰離子電池陽極進一步多樣化，都在推動針狀焦需求的復甦。在可預見的未來，預計這種需求將繼續穩定成長，價格也將相應上漲。

除此之外，我國政府也注重發展環保鋼鐵生產方式。因此，中國當局正積極推廣電弧爐（EAF）技術，以減少碳排放並促進鋼鐵業的永續性。電弧爐技術主要以廢鐵為原料，利用電力進行熔煉。在國家扶持政策的推動下，預計電弧爐技術的採用將成為中國的流行趨勢，從而加強對石墨電極的需求。

日本是石油、煤炭和焦油基瀝青針狀焦的主要生產國和出口國之一。日本公司是世界上最大的石墨電極生產商之一。石墨電極市場的主要參與者包括昭和電工、日本碳素、SEC碳素和東海碳素。

印度鋼鐵業正在加大脫碳力度，積極致力於減少碳排放。作為其中的一部分，在鋼鐵生產中採用電弧爐（EAF）技術的趨勢日益成長。電弧爐依靠電力和廢鋼，這使其成為比傳統方法更永續的選擇。

隨著電弧爐的採用率不斷提高，預計對石墨電極的需求將會激增。印度政府取消廢鋼進口關稅的措施將直接使電弧爐鋼廠受益。再加上國家利好的政策，這些將進一步鼓勵電弧爐的轉變，並推動對石墨電極的需求。

日本第二大鋼鐵製造商 JFE 鋼鐵公司宣布，建設計畫一座大型電弧爐 (EAF)。該 EAF 計劃在 2027 年左右取代倉敷廠現有的高爐。這項策略性舉措凸顯了該公司致力於根據全球氣候變遷計劃控制碳排放的承諾。新建電爐將主要用於汽車等產業，預計每年可減少排放260萬噸。

石墨電極在電弧爐（EAF）製程中起著至關重要的作用，而電弧爐是鋼鐵生產的主要方法。韓國的鋼鐵業非常重要，透過滿足汽車、建築和造船等行業的需求來推動該國的經濟成長。根據韓國鋼鐵協會報告，鋼鐵業佔韓國GDP的1.5%，佔製造業的4.9%。其中，韓國是世界第六大鋼鐵生產國。

因此，基於上述方面，亞太地區很可能在全球針狀焦市場佔據主導地位。

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.
