Regional Price Analysis and Market Behavior
Asia Pacific
China's steady increase from USD 332/MT in Q3 to USD 347/MT in Q4 2025 reflects improving domestic demand and controlled supply. By January 2026, prices rose further to USD 392/MT (FOB), indicating stronger export positioning and tightening supply.
India presents a contrasting trend. While Q4 2025 prices remained relatively low at USD 172/MT, January 2026 CIF prices surged to USD 501/MT. This sharp jump highlights the impact of freight costs, import dependency, and rising industrial demand.
South Korea maintained the highest regional prices in Q4 2025 due to its reliance on imports and strong consumption in key industries like steel and power generation.
North America
The USA saw a slight price dip in Q4 2025, falling to USD 390/MT (FOB USGC). This reflects stable refinery output and moderate demand conditions. By January 2026, CIF prices rose to USD 478/MT, mainly due to added freight and logistics costs rather than a major shift in base pricing.
Canada followed a similar pattern, with prices reaching USD 492/MT (CIF) in January 2026, driven by export-oriented trade and transportation costs.
Latin America
Brazil's petroleum coke price increased from USD 413/MT in Q3 2025 to USD 426/MT in Q4 2025, and further to USD 458/MT in January 2026. The steady rise reflects balanced demand from industrial sectors and consistent import flows.
Europe
Germany's prices remained relatively stable, moving from USD 418/MT in Q3 to USD 420/MT in Q4 2025. This stability indicates a mature market with controlled demand and steady supply chains. European markets continue to show less volatility compared to Asia.
Key Drivers Behind Petroleum Coke Price Trends
Several factors are shaping petroleum coke price movements across regions:
Refinery output and crude oil processing levels influencing supply
Strong demand from cement, aluminum, and power industries
Freight costs significantly impacting CIF markets like India and Brazil
Import dependency driving price volatility in Asia Pacific
Stable demand in mature markets like Europe keeping prices steady
The sharp difference between FOB and CIF prices highlights the growing role of logistics in determining final procurement costs.
Market Outlook for Petroleum Coke Prices
Petroleum coke prices are expected to remain firm in the near term, with regional variations continuing to define market behavior. Asia is likely to remain a high-demand region, supporting elevated price levels, especially in import-driven countries.
Key trends expected going forward:
Continued demand from infrastructure and industrial sectors
Freight and shipping costs playing a critical role in pricing
Stable supply from major refining hubs
Gradual price increases in emerging markets
Markets like India may continue to see higher price volatility, while regions such as Europe and North America are expected to remain relatively stable.
Strategic Takeaways for Buyers
Procurement teams should closely monitor regional price differences and logistics costs when sourcing petroleum coke. FOB markets like China offer cost advantages, while CIF markets require careful evaluation of total landed costs.
Flexible sourcing strategies and supplier diversification can help manage price risks, especially in a market where freight and regional demand play a major role in pricing trends.
