The Graphite Electrode Market for the Metal Industry: Highlights
Graphite electrode (GE) is an essential component of steel production through the electric arc furnace (EAF) method. After five years of downcycle, the demand for graphite electrode started emerging in 2016 with the increased production of steel through the EAF method. The penetration of EAF-based steel production is expected to be stable in the foreseen future, because of high awareness of the developed economies towards environmentally friendly technologies. The role of China and India in the production of EAF steel is going to be consequential in the coming years as the current penetration of EAF steel production in both countries are lower than the developed countries but will rise at a greater pace in the coming years. This will imprint a significant upward trend to the demand for graphite electrodes in the coming five years.

The Growth Prognosis & its Drivers
The market is projected to grow at a healthy rate over the next five years to reach US$ 15.3 billion in 2024. A steady increase in steel production through the EAF method, no substitute of graphite electrode in EAF steel production, and supply crunch owing to the limited production capacity of needle coke and graphite electrode are some of the factors propelling the demand for graphite electrodes in the metal industry.

Market Segments
The market is segmented based on the product type as ultra-high power (UHP), high power (HP), and regular power (RP). UHP is expected to remain the most dominant as well as the fastest-growing electrode type during the forecast period. Higher durability, higher thermal resistance, and superior quality are some of the properties that are propelling the demand for UHP graphite electrode, especially in the steel industry. All the major global players are primarily into the manufacturing of UHP graphite electrodes.

Based on the application type, the market is segmented as steel, silicon metal, and aluminum. Steel is currently dominating the graphite electrode market and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period as well. There has been a continuous increase in the production of EAF steel worldwide, which is the prime driver of the demand for graphite electrode. For instance; in China, the share of steel production through EAF increased from 6% in 2016 to 9% in 2017 (still below the global average of 46% excluding China). The government of China has set a target of achieving 20% steel production through EAF by 2020.

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest market during the forecast period. China and India are the largest and second-largest steel producing countries through the EAF method globally. Furthermore, among the leading players, five players (Showa Denko K.K. (Japan), Fangda Carbon New Material Co. Ltd. (China), Tokai Carbon Co. Ltd. (Japan), Graphite India Limited (India), and HEG Ltd. (India) are based in Asia-Pacific.

Market Players
The report also maps supply chain including raw material suppliers, petroleum needle coke manufacturers, graphite electrode manufacturers, and end users. Showa Denko K.K., GRAFTech International, Graphite India Limited (GIL), HEG Ltd., Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd., Energoprom, Fangda Carbon New Material Co. Ltd., Sangraf International, SEC Carbon, Limited, and Nippon Carbon are some of the major players in the market. Most of the major players have a capacity expansion plan in order to meet the growing demand for graphite electrodes in the coming five years.
