Petroleum Coke Market Overview
Petroleum coke market or petcoke is a solid composed primarily of carbon and limited amount of metals, sulfur, and non-volatile organic compounds. It is the by-product of delayed coking and fluid coking. It is available in fuel grade coke and lower grade coke. The global petroleum coke market report by Market Research Future (MRFR) contains insights for the period of 2020 to 2030 (forecast period). It also contains the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry.
The CAGR for the petroleum coke industry is 3% for the time period that this report covers. The petroleum coke market value was USD 7902.5 million in 2020. It’s projected to be worth USD 26,970 million in 2030.
Market Scope
Persistent crude oil extraction and refining will continue to influence the petroleum coke industry. The crude oil by-product finds application in processing of various industrial materials. Developments in novel techniques such as gasification can culminate in low weight of raw pet coke. The application of the coke as aviation fuel and development of metals such as cobalt and nickel can bode well for the market. Huge demand for hydrogen can entice petroleum coke producers and boost the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic had hit the production lines in the U.S. and other major producers. Shutdown of cement plants in Spain and Brazil had affected the market negatively. But the easing of lockdown operations in certain countries has led to a surge in petcoke prices. This is further assisted with the procurement by customers in India and China.
However, regulatory pressures are dampening the market prospects of the product.
Segmentation
By type, it is segmented into shot coke, needle coke, sponge coke, honeycomb coke, and others.
By grade, it is divided into fuel grade and calcined grade. Fuel grade petcoke demand remains concentrated in the cement industry owing to its innate nature and very high heating value. In 2017, close to 44% of the total petroleum coke (fuel-grade) produced was consumed by the cement industry.
Major application areas (foundries, cement, brick and glass, power plant, steel, paper and pulp,) for fuel grade petcoke are discussed in detail in the report. Cement is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate over the forecast period. It accounted for 48% market share in 2018. The burgeoning construction industry and development in urban and suburban areas can drive the segment growth till 2025. On the other hand, the power plant segment is set to achieve a value of USD 5,313.6 million by the end of the forecast period. This can be attributed to its demand for petroleum coke and lowering carbon emissions.
