"The global graphite electrodes market is expected to grow at a high CAGR of 5.5% during the forecasting period (2021-2028)".
Graphite electrodes are a vital input for electric arc steel-making and ladle refinement of steel, as well as play an essential role in the automotive industry. Increasing the use of graphite in lithium-ion batteries is the major factor driving the growth of the global market.
The global graphite electrodes market has observed notable growth in recent years. The increased demand for high-quality steel is a significant factor driving the market's growth.
According to World Steel Association, in 2016, 1630 million tonnes of crude steel were produced globally. In addition, the shifting trend of steel manufacturers towards manufacturing steel via electric arc furnaces over the blast furnace is also a prime determinant driving the market growth.

Market Restraints
The main restraint of the Graphite electrode is increasing price. The price has jumped almost five times in 2017. The rising Chinese electrode consumption and restricted exports may hamper the graphite electrode market in the coming years.
Recently, the EAF route gained popularity worldwide and Needle Coke prices soared four times from early 2017 levels. As a result of overcapacity in the Electrode industry, six plants mainly in the USA and Europe had to be closed down over the last three to four years bringing down the Electrode capacity by around 200,000 MT.
