Analysis on market scale and supply of China's needle coke industry in 2020 [figure]

Needle coke is a new kind of high quality carbon material , Silver grey in appearance , Low coefficient of thermal expansion 、 High conductivity 、 Low resistivity 、 High mechanical strength 、 Low porosity 、 High purity and easy graphitization , At present, it is usually used as raw material for the production of high power electrodes and ultra-high power electrodes , High industrial application value .

According to the different raw materials , Needle coke can be divided into oil-based needle coke and coal-based needle coke . Needle coke produced from petroleum residue is oil-based needle coke ; Needle coke produced from coal tar pitch and its fractions is coal series needle coke .

At present , Oil system method is the main process for needle coke production . The United States is the main country in the world that can produce needle coke on a large scale 、 Britain and Japan , Russia 、 Needle coke production capacity in Germany and other countries is relatively small .

In the last century 70 S - 80 s , China began to introduce needle coke technology , But because of Technology 、 The scale and cost of needle coke have not been realized . Get into 21 After the century , China's needle coke has gradually broken the monopoly of the United States, Japan and other countries .2006 year , Shanxi Hongte Coal Chemical Co 5 Ten thousand tons of / In, coal series needle coke was successfully put into production .2009 year , Anshan Thermal Energy Research Institute of Sinosteel group 4 ten thousand / The coal series needle coke project started in . PetroChina Jinzhou Petrochemical Company 5 Ten thousand tons of / The oil series needle coke plant has been running continuously for many years . In recent years, the production capacity and output of needle coke industry in China have continued to grow , The production scale continues to expand , However, the supply of medium and high-end products is insufficient , Import dependence is still high .

From the domestic market , Major brands mainly include Japan 、 Many enterprises in the United States and China , Mitsubishi Chemical 、 Nippon Steel 、KOA、Conoco They all occupy a certain share in the domestic market , Domestic enterprises mainly include baotailong 、 Fangda carbon 、 Yongdong Co., Ltd 、 Shanxi Hongte and other enterprises .

2020 year , The total production capacity of needle coke in China 177 Ten thousand tons of , The output is about 51.7 Ten thousand tons of . The quality of needle coke in China has been continuously improved , Indicators tend to be stable , Some products have been used as raw materials for the production of large-scale ultra-high power graphite electrodes and have a stable export channel , At present, needle coke in China is in a stable and orderly development stage .

China's needle coke industry has developed to a certain scale ,2020 The annual market size is about 50.73 One hundred million yuan , yield 51.7 Ten thousand tons of , Requirement 61.86 Ten thousand tons of , Product consumption is still heavily dependent on imports . The research and development of needle coke in China has made a breakthrough in technology , In particular, coal based needle coke products have been put on the market in batches , The large size and ultra-high power graphite electrode has been successfully produced , The application effect of large electric arc furnace in China is good , But there is still the problem of unstable product quality , It is not enough UHP Demand for graphite electrode production . Electric furnace steelmaking is becoming larger 、 Ultra high power development , Needle coke production requires rapid improvement of quality , Oil needle coke 、 Both coal series needle coke , Only in this way can the localization of needle coke be fully realized .

In recent two years, due to the strong demand of needle coke market , New enterprises and production capacity of needle coke have increased significantly , Fierce market competition ; And the demand growth rate declines from the peak , The imbalance between supply and demand has led to a decline in the price of needle coke . in addition , The process level and product quality of needle coke produced by domestic needle coke enterprises are lower than those of similar foreign enterprises, which is also one of the reasons for the decline of domestic needle coke market price . therefore ,2020 In, the market scale of needle coke industry in China was relatively large 2019 There was a substantial decline in .
