Market Dynamics
Introduction
Petroleum coke refers to a solid carbon byproduct used as a fuel in the process of raw oil distillation. It offers high-power output and low ash content and therefore, is highly efficient as in comparison with traditionally-used fossil fuels. Some of its common types are needle, sponge, wave, and shot coke. It is extremely stable in chemical products and is used primarily in the production of anodes, electrodes, bricks and metals, cement, fertilizers, etc.
Market Drivers
One of the key factors driving market growth is rapid industrialization, especially in developing economies. Another significant growth-inducing factor is the increased emphasis on reducing dependence on fossil fuels for energy generation.
In addition, significant developments in infrastructure around the globe have a positive market outlook.
