China was the largest producer of graphite electrodes and grow with highest CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period of 2017-2024
The global graphite
electrode market is an oligopolistic market, with no new entrants functioning
in the industry since recent past. The graphite electrode market is facing a
declining growth trend due to the possession of core technology by only a
handful of players.
It is solely a technology sensitive and capital-intensive
market. The demand of graphite electrodes is majorly dependent on its
application in manufacturing steel through smelting by using an electric arc
furnace (EAF). Steel manufacturers are shifting towards electric arc furnace
over the blast furnaces, owing to the advantages offered by EAF such as low
cost of establishment, higher production flexibility, and low CO2 emissions.
Some prominent market players are SGL Group, GrafTech,
Fangda Carbon, Showa Denko K.K, Jilin Carbon, Tokai Carbon, Nippon Carbon,
Graphite India Limited (GIL), HEG Limited, Yangzi Carbon, and Kaifeng Co., Ltd.
The market giants are adopting mergers & acquisitions and capacity upgrades
as their growth strategies, in order to magnify their presence in the global
market. In 2016, a Japan based market giant, Showa Denko acquired Germany based
SGL Group at an estimated value of 350 million euros.
The acquisition was strategized with an aim to expand
business reach in the US, Japan, and Europe, along with the reduction in fixed
costs and integration of supply chain.
