The demand for needle coke in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region has been growing steadily in recent years. The Asia-Pacific region is a major hub for steel production, with countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India being significant contributors. Electric arc furnaces (EAFs) are widely used in steelmaking in this region, and needle coke is a critical raw material for producing graphite electrodes used in EAFs. The expansion of steel production capacity in Asia-Pacific countries has led to an increased demand for needle coke. With the push for electric vehicles to combat air pollution and reduce carbon emissions, there has been a surge in demand for lithium-ion batteries, which require needle coke-derived graphite as an anode material. As APAC countries such as China and South Korea lead the way in EV production and adoption, the demand for needle coke for battery production has been on the rise.
Recent Developments in the Needle Coke Market
• In September 2020, Indian Oil Corporation planned to allocate $171.2 million toward establishing a new needle coke facility at the Paradip Refinery, located in Odisha. This investment aimed to enhance the refinery's capabilities in producing high-grade needle coke, a crucial material for the steel and aluminum industries.
• In December 2021, POSCO FUTURE M acquired a stake in a Chinese manufacturer, SINUO, of artificial graphite anode materials. This is expected to help the company with the required properties of battery anode material.
• In December 2022, Gazprom Neft planned to launch a project to produce needle coke used in the manufacturing of graphitized electrodes for the steelmaking industry and lithium-ion batteries at the Omsk Refinery.
Demand - Driver, Limitation, and Opportunity
Market Demand Driver: Carbon Reduction Mandates and Environmental Standards
The needle coke market is poised for significant growth, propelled by the increasing adoption of the electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process and the mounting pressure to achieve carbon neutrality targets. Sustainability considerations are reshaping the steel industry; the EAF process offers a more environmentally conscious approach compared to the traditional basic oxygen furnace (BOF) method. This shift favors needle coke, a critical material for EAF graphite electrode production. Carbon neutrality targets are rising in prominence due to a mix of factors, including tightening environmental regulations, growing consumer demand for sustainable products, and investor pressure for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibility. Industries with high carbon footprints, such as steel manufacturing, are urgently seeking ways to decarbonize their operations. The needle coke market stands to benefit substantially from this trend as EAF adoption accelerates, thereby expected to drive the needle coke market over the forecast period from 2023 to 2033.
Market Challenge: Rising Raw Material Prices
Surging prices for raw materials, notably coal tar and crude oil, pose a considerable challenge to the needle coke industry. The production of needle coke is critically dependent on these feedstocks, rendering it highly sensitive to their price volatility. The Russia-Ukraine war, trade wars, and other global uncertainties are leading to supply chain disruptions, resulting in ups and downs of raw material prices for needle coke manufacturing. An upward trend in coal tar prices, influenced by supply chain disruptions and heightened demand from other sectors, is compressing profit margins for needle coke manufacturers. Similarly, the unpredictable crude oil market is directly affecting the cost of petroleum-based needle coke feedstocks. These rising expenses generate a cascading effect, leading to increased needle coke prices and potentially reducing demand from key industries such as steel and aluminum.
Market Opportunity: Vertical Integration of Needle Coke Business
Vertical integration represents a compelling opportunity for needle coke manufacturers and their customers in the sector. Amid fluctuating costs of raw materials, especially needle coke, adopting vertical integration tactics can solidify supply chains, counteract price volatility, and enhance profitability for all involved parties. By venturing upstream into needle coke production, through either the establishment of new plants or through strategic acquisitions, graphite electrode producers can secure a critical input. This opportunity diminishes dependence on third-party suppliers and shields against market fluctuations. Ensuring access to a dependable, high-quality needle coke supply leads to cost efficiencies and fortifies a competitive edge in the graphite electrode industry. Moreover, needle coke consumers also stand to gain from vertical integration. This approach promises enhanced supply chain reliability, guaranteeing the steady availability of vital materials. Furthermore, tighter integration between producers and consumers can spur innovation in both product development and process efficiency, bolstering growth and competitive positioning in the market.
Analyst View
According to Debraj Chakraborty, Principal Analyst, BIS Research, “Environmental regulations and sustainability initiatives are exerting a significant influence on the needle coke market. The preference for electric arc furnaces (EAFs) in steel production, driven by their energy efficiency and operational flexibility, underscores the pivotal role of needle coke as a critical raw material for high-quality graphite electrode production, essential for EAF operation. Consequently, the demand for needle coke is intricately linked with steel production, which acts as a barometer for global economic health. The ongoing industrialization and urbanization in emerging economies further fuel this demand trajectory. Moreover, the global transition toward electric vehicles (EVs) as a means to mitigate carbon emissions amplifies the demand for needle coke, particularly in the production of lithium-ion batteries. This burgeoning demand underscores the multifaceted role of needle coke in facilitating sustainable technological advancements across industries, aligning with broader environmental imperatives.”
