Key Market Trends Fueling Growth

Synthetic graphite plays a pivotal role in electric arc furnaces (EAFs) for steel production, particularly in generating high temperatures for melting and refining scrap metal. The escalating demand for steel, driven by infrastructure investment, climate change goals, and industrial growth, fuels the increased use of synthetic graphite in specialty steel and iron alloys. This demand stems from the automotive and aerospace industries, which require improved properties such as hardness and strength. Synthetic graphite is also integral to Li-ion batteries as a negative electrode material, contributing to the terawatt-hour energy storage market. The chemical sector, including resources and human resources, requires high-purity levels of synthetic graphite for refractories, bricks, monolithic crucibles, and various applications in steel, ferroalloys, aluminum, and process energy sources. The global steel industry, including emerging economies, consumes finished steel and produces crude steel and alloys, making synthetic graphite an indispensable component in these processes. 

Market Challenges

• Synthetic graphite, known for its high purity levels and superior properties, comes with a significant price tag. This high cost poses a challenge for industries that are heavily cost-sensitive, such as steel manufacturing and the chemical sector. The use of synthetic graphite electrodes in electric arc furnaces and other high-temperature applications adds to the production costs. Despite its advantages in battery technology, particularly in Li-Ion batteries for electric vehicles, the high cost may hinder its widespread adoption. Industries seeking clean energy sources and reducing carbon emissions may face cost-related challenges due to synthetic graphite's high price.
