Needle Coke Market Growing at 10.73% CAGR, Expected to Reach USD 11.29 Billion by 2033, Reports Strategic Revenue Insights

London, UK - November 2025 | Strategic Revenue Insights Inc. - The global Needle Coke market is poised for strong expansion, with our latest analysis estimating a rise from USD 4.51 billion in 2024 to USD 11.29 billion by 2033.

This projection corresponds to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.73% over the forecast period signaling robust demand across steel, battery, and other end use industries.

The journey from USD 4.51 billion in 2024 to USD 11.29 billion by 2033 translates into a substantial incremental value of nearly USD 6.8 billion. Underlying this increase is a sharply growing demand for high quality graphite electrodes essential for electric arc furnace (EAF) steel production and expanding use in lithium ion battery anode materials, reflecting broader shifts in steelmaking and energy storage sectors.

Growth is being driven by a convergence of structural trends. First, the worldwide shift toward electric arc furnace-based steel production boosts demand for ultra high power graphite electrodes, and hence needle coke. Electric arc furnaces considered more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable compared to traditional blast furnace routes are gaining traction, especially in regions focused on decarbonization.

Simultaneously, the surge in electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage applications is fueling demand for lithium ion batteries and by extension, for needle coke-derived synthetic graphite used in battery anodes. As countries worldwide accelerate EV adoption and renewable energy deployment, the need for reliable, high performance battery materials is pushing needle coke firmly into the energy materials value chain.

Regionally, the dynamics point to an ongoing dominance of the Asia Pacific region, driven by large steel making capacity, expanding EV production, and supportive infrastructure investment. Countries with robust industrial bases and growing battery manufacturing capabilities such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are especially influential.

Market segmentation by type, application, end user and region reveals a diversified structure. By type, needle coke can be petroleum based or coal based, each with different production characteristics. Application wise, the largest share continues to come from graphite electrodes for steel production, but lithium ion battery anode material is emerging as the fastest growing segment as EV and energy storage demand surges globally. End users span steel manufacturers (particularly those using EAF), battery-material suppliers, and other carbon product manufacturers.

That said, the market environment is not without headwinds. Environmental regulations related to coke production and carbon emissions, as well as volatility in raw material prices (especially petroleum or coal feedstocks), pose risks for producers and could affect margins or supply stability.

Looking ahead to 2033 and beyond, the Needle Coke market offers significant strategic opportunities. As steel producers around the world continue the transition to EAF technology to meet emission reduction targets, demand for ultra high power graphite electrodes (and thus needle coke) should remain strong.

Meanwhile, as battery demand for EVs, grid storage, and portable electronics escalates, needle coke‐derived synthetic graphite will likely become even more critical. Emerging markets with growing manufacturing, infrastructure and energy storage demands represent high growth frontiers.

Manufacturers and investors that invest in cleaner production processes, secure stable feedstock supply, and cater to both steel and battery sectors possibly via vertically integrated supply chains are likely to capture outsized market share. Product innovation (e.g., producing higher grade needle coke with lower impurities), capacity expansion in key geographies, and strategic partnerships across steel and battery players will define winners in this evolving space.
