Scope of Needle Coke Market Report:            

Needle Coke or Acicular Coke is a crystalline form of petroleum coke. It is a premium grade raw material of coke used in manufacturing of graphite electrodes in Steel or Aluminium industry for arc furnaces. The structure of needle coke consists of hard and dense material with carbon needles or threads aligned in a single direction. This coke can withstand temperature up to 2800 degree Celsius. Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) decant oil or Coal Tar Pitch is generally used to produce Needle coke. This special type of coke has superior properties like Coefficient of Thermal Expansion, Oxidizability, High temperature and electrical resistance.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, some industries have positive impact and some are struggling. The steel market saw the uncertainty in supply & chain demands. The demand of needle coke also declined due to pandemic and lockdown on a global level. As needle coke is primary element for graphite electrode, manufacturers faced several challenges due to the low demand of graphite electrode in certain regions. The import and export have adversely affected due to lockdown which has affected the movement of graphite electrodes. The government is also helping manufacturers with strategic planning and regulations to increase the revenue of needle coke and maintain stability.
