Calcined Petcoke Market Analysis
Calcined petroleum coke (CPC) is the byproduct acquire from the coker unit in a crude oil refinery. It is mainly used to create anodes for the aluminum, steel, and titanium smelting industry. The global calcined petroleum coke market is swiftly growing across the globe owing to an increasing crude oil supply across the world. Calcined petroleum coke is also utilized as a feedstock for a wide variety of the products such as aluminum, paints, coatings, and colorings, etc. Calcined petroleum coke is a dark-colored solid material chiefly comprises of carbon, sulfur, metals, and nonvolatile inorganic compounds. It provides several benefits such as safe handling, transportation, and storage with low toxicity.
On the basis of type, the global market is divided into anode grade and needle grade. The anode grade segment is expected to hold the major share of the market, due to its excellent electrical conductivity and physical properties. Anode grade is a low-quality product with the highest content of carbon in it.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has hit almost every industry badly, but possibly the industry which has witnessed the astronomic hit is the global oil and gas industry. The spread of this virus has strained many oil and gas companies to either halt or slow down their physical operations, which has affected production in both upstream and downstream operations.
Similarly, the calcined petcoke has been affected as it is a byproduct of petroleum, and since the oil and gas industry was not functioning properly, petcoke too got affected adversely. Furthermore, the halt on production activities is expected to hinder the growth of the calcined petcoke market.
Top Impacting Factors
