UHP Graphite Electrodes are expected to witness significant growth in the coming years due to their high-quality performance in electric arc furnaces (EAF) and stringent requirements in steel production. HP Graphite Electrodes are also projected to have a steady market growth, as they are suitable for both EAF and ladle furnaces. RP Graphite Electrodes, on the other hand, are likely to see a decrease in demand as they are being replaced by UHP and HP electrodes in various applications.
Application Analysis:
The EAF segment is anticipated to dominate the market for Graphite Electrodes, driven by the increasing adoption of electric arc furnaces in steel manufacturing processes. The BOF segment is also expected to have a significant market share, as Graphite Electrodes are essential for oxygen steelmaking in basic oxygen furnaces. Non-steel applications, such as silicon metal production and other industrial processes, are likely to contribute to the growing demand for Graphite Electrodes in the global market.
