Increasing steel demand due to rapid industrialization and urbanization is the primary driver for Graphite Electrode market growth. These electrodes are an essential component of electric arc furnaces (EAFs) used in steelmaking, and their demand is boosted by the rise in production of steel-intensive infrastructure such as bridges, high-rise buildings, and transportation networks. In addition, the growing demand for cars has prompted a shift to electric vehicles that require EAFs with advanced technology to manufacture critical graphite components like motors and batteries casings.
The COVID-19 epidemic slowed the market's growth as it affected steel production, which is an important consumer of graphite electrodes. This pandemic also increased innovation and adaptations, helping the sector to recover from its slowdown.
Manufacturers are focused on improving graphite electrodes to ensure improved performance and lower operation costs. These electrodes are also being used more often as manufacturers focus on environmentally friendly and energy efficient manufacturing methods. This will likely lead to a larger adoption of Graphite Electrode, both for energy storage and electric vehicles.
The Graphite Element market is very competitive. It has a lot of established and emerging companies. GrafTech International is one of the top players on the global market. Others include Showa Denko Sichuan Carbon Inc., Graphite India Limited. Fangda Carbon New Material Technology Co. Ltd. and Tokai Carbon Co. Ltd. They adopt various strategies such as expansion and partnerships to accelerate their market growth.
In the Middle East & Africa, the real estate and construction industry is booming. These electrodes improve productivity in steelmaking, and they reduce the time it takes to smelt. A number of mega-projects are planned in the regions housing and transport sectors which will boost steel demand. This will in turn drive the demand in the area for graphite electrodes.
Asia Pacific is the world's largest consumer of electrodes made from graphite, thanks to its extensive steel and aluminium industries. Rapid infrastructure development in China, India and other Asian countries is increasing the demand for steel. The growth in demand for these electrodes is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. This is due to the fact that the European shift towards electric vehicle production has increased demand. The advanced EAFs for EV component manufacturing require graphite electrodes, which will boost the growth of this product market in Europe.
