Market Overview
Graphite electrodes are a vital input for electric arc steel-making and ladle refinement of steel, as well as play an essential role in the automotive industry. Increasing use of graphite in lithium-ion batteries is the major factors driving the growth of the global market.
The global graphite electrodes market has observed notable growth in the recent years. The increased demand for high-quality steel is a significant factor driving the market’s growth.
According to World Steel Association, in 2016, 1630 million tonnes of crude steel was produced globally. In addition to, the shifting trend of steel manufacturers towards manufacturing steel via electric arc furnace over the blast furnace is also a prime determinant driving the market growth.

Market Restraints
- The main restraint of the Graphite electrode is increasing price. The price has jumped almost five times in 2017. Because of the rising Chinese electrode consumption and restricted exports which may hamper the graphite electrode market in the coming years.
- Recently, EAF route gaining popularity worldwide and Needle Coke prices soaring four times from early 2017 levels. As a result overcapacity in the Electrode industry, six plants mainly in the USA and Europe had to be closed down over the last three to four years bringing down the Electrode capacity by around 200,000 MT.
