ALBANY, New York, July 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Transparency Market Research (TMR) estimated that the graphite electrodes market is cyclical in nature. From the past few years – 2011 to 2016 – the market witnessed sluggish growth owing to low demand and oversupply. Thus, major manufacturers in the major graphite electrodes manufacturers lowered its production, which led to prices surge and consolidation of the market.
Additionally, the production cut down led to a rise in electric arc furnace (EAF)-based steel production globally in 2017. For instance, Tokai Carbon cut its production capacity by 40% to reduce the oversupply to the sluggish demand. Some of the key players in the global graphite electrodes market are Showa Denko K.K., Graphite India Limited, GrafTech International, Nippon Carbon Co. Ltd., Nantong Yangzi Carbon, HEG Limited, Kaifeng Carbon Co., Ltd., SEC Carbon, Ltd., Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd., and Nantong Yangzi Carbon Co., Ltd. In order to gain a competitive edge, the key players are adopting the merger and acquisition as their key strategies to expand their global presence and a strong foothold in the graphite electrodes market.

Change in Chinese Government Regulations Benefits Market Growth
Regionally, Asia Pacific dominated the global graphite electrodes market and is estimated to remain a key region in the coming years. Additionally, North America and Europe regions hold a significant share in the global market as the key players have a strong foothold in the region.
- The growth of the Asia Pacific is estimated to attribute to the change in Chinese government regulations such as new IMO 2020 regulations.
- Under this regulation, the quality checks of needle coke lowered the supply of graphite electrodes and thus skyrocketed the prices.
- However, increasing steel production has offered opportunities and increased demand for the graphite electrodes in the rest of the Asia Pacific such as Japan and India.

Excellent Properties and Flexibility of Material Widens its Applications
The graphite electrodes have key applications in the steel and non-ferrous metal's manufacturing coupled with electric arc furnaces manufacturing. The properties such as high heat resistance, resistance to thermal shock, low electrical conductivity, and low chemical reactivity make it suitable for a number of applications. Thus, the graphite electrodes market stood at a value of US$10 bn in 2017 and is estimated to expand by exhibiting a CAGR of 3% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.
Moreover, favorable properties such as electrical properties, high electrical and heat conductivity, high mechanical strength, low impurity content, chemical stability, and high vibrational resistance makes its most suitable for steel manufacturing. The steel scrap manufactured with the help to graphite electrodes can be used for manufacturing the chemical equipment and furnaces such as EAF. Additionally, the factors such as flexibility of the material in EAF coupled with quick turnaround time and lower fixed costs boosts its demand. These factors are providing support to the growth of the global graphite electrodes market and likely to remain as key factors in the coming years.
