Global market for Carbon and Graphite is projected to reach US$16 billion by 2020, driven by increasing demand from key end-use industries. Rising demand for aluminium and growing share of EAF (electric arc furnace) steel in crude steel production are fuelling consumption of Graphite electrodes. Refractories represent a major consumer of Graphite, followed by other applications including batteries, lubricants, foundry, brake linings and steel. Growth in Asia-Pacific, the fastest growing market, is led by robust demand for steel in emerging nations such as China and India as a result of increased emphasis on infrastructure development.
