Asia Pacific Graphite Electrodes Market

Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrode Market Analysis Report (2021 -2026)

The Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrodes Market is anticipated to grow tremendously during the forecast period. It is estimated that the target market is going to grow at a CAGR of 4.3% over 2022 - 2027.

A graphite electrode is an electrode that is employed for offering a high-level electrical conductivity and the capability to sustain an extremely high level of dissipated heat. These electrodes are primarily used in the manufacturing of electric arc furnace (EAF) steel & the refinement of steel, and the similar smelting process such as silicon, ferroalloys, white phosphorus/ yellow phosphorus, etc.

The growth of the Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrodes Market is attributed to the high consumption and the production of these graphite electrodes in the emerging economies such as China and India.

Recent Developments

• Showa Denko KK Group, a leading Japanese chemical engineering firm, has committed to Install Equipment for Mass-producing the SPALF Packaging Material for Large Onboard lithium-ion batteries. 

• Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd. has acquired the Graphite Electrodes Business Of the SGL GE, which one of the largest Graphite Electrode manufacturers. 

Drivers and Restraints of Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrode Market

The high consumption and production of graphite electrodes in Japan, China, and India is the primary driver of the Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrode Market.

However, the lack of availability of the raw materials required in the manufacturing process of these graphite electrodes, which are highly volatile, is the major restraint of the Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrode Market.

Market Segmentation of Asia-Pacific Graphite Electrode Market

• By Product Type: Ultra-High Power (UHP), High Power (HP), And Regular Power (RP).
