Global calcined petroleum coke market was valued at USD 25.2 billion in 2021, and it is expected to reach a value of USD 37.80 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of more than 5.2% over the forecast period (2022–2028).
Green or raw petroleum coke is produced by delaying the coking of leftovers received from crude oil distillation units of oil refineries. Calcined Petroleum Coke is the name for the aforementioned Green or Raw Petroleum Coke that has been heated to a temperature of 12000 to 13000 degrees Celsius. Calcined petroleum coke is widely used in the production of various carbon and graphite products, as well as for the melting of alumina in the aluminum industry, as a carbon raiser in the production of special high carbon steel in foundries, as a conductive backfill in ground electrode stations, and for other purposes.
The rise in demand for petroleum coke in the steel industry, expansion in the cement and power generation sectors, expansion in the supply of heavy oils globally, and supportive government initiatives regarding a sustainable and green environment are the main factors propelling the global calcined petroleum coke market growth. For example, India, which accounts for approximately 7% of the world's installed capacity, is the second-largest cement manufacturer in the world. In FY22, India's total capacity for cement manufacturing was close to 545 million tonnes (MT).
98 percent of the overall capacity is held by the private sector, and the remaining 2 percent by the governmental sector. About 70% of all cement produced in India is produced by the top 20 businesses. India has extensive limestone reserves of excellent quality and quantity, which offers the cement sector tremendous expansion potential. Because of the rising demand for various sectors, such as housing, commercial development, and industrial construction, the demand for cement is predicted to reach 419.92 MT per annum (MTPA) by FY 27. In FY21, the total amount of cement produced was 294.4 million tonnes (MT), down from 329 million tonnes (MT) in FY20.
