Needle coke refers to a specialty grade carbon raw material derived from coal tar pitch, ethylene tar pitch, solvent-refined coal, low-sulfur vacuum residues, petroleum fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) decant oil, etc. It possesses high strength, electrical conductivity, real and bulk density, etc. Needle coke has a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and heteroatom and ash content. It has a strong and parallel orientation of turbostratic layer structure and the particular physical shape of the grains. Consequently, needle coke exhibits excellent graphitizability.

Market Trends:
The widespread adoption of this raw material as a carbonaceous filler in the production of graphite electrodes for ultra-high power electric arc furnaces (EAF) in the steel smelting industry is primarily augmenting the needle coke market. Furthermore, the rising usage of these electrodes to melt scrap substitutes and maintain the temperature of molten steel, as they have low resistivity, high mechanical strength, excellent thermal shock resistance and oxidation resistance, etc., is positively influencing the global market. Apart from this, the escalating demand for needle coke in the manufacturing of synthetic graphite, which is used to produce lithium-ion batteries for EVs, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Moreover, the inflating need for electric vehicles, on account of the growing consumer environmental concerns, is also bolstering the market growth. Besides this, extensive investments in R&D activities for developing needle coke from low-value heavier hydrocarbon streams without any feed pre-treatment process are further catalyzing the global market. Additionally, the introduction of heavy energy storage batteries is expected to fuel the needle coke market in the coming years.
