The global calcined anthracite market size was USD 505.8 million in 2021 and market is projected to touch USD 830.77 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period.

Anthracite coal is annealed at a very high temperature in a horizontal gas furnace to produce calcined anthracite. Remaining volatile organic chemicals are eliminated, and the material's electrical resistance property is alleviated. The production of carbon blocks and tamping paste in ladle and blast furnaces thus makes extensive use of it as a recarburizer. It is also becoming more and more common as a replacement for calcined oil coke in the production of ductile and grey irons.

The electrical anthracite is heated to high temperature as 2000°C, which results in the development of graphitic structure in the end product. Gas anthracite is the calcination of anthracite in a gas-fire based furnace. Electrical anthracite as well as gas anthracite have low volumes of ash, sulfur, and moisture. It is used in numerous applications including cathode blocks for the aluminum industry, production of carbon paste electrode, manufacture of prebake electrodes, soderberg and tamping pastes, also as a smelting additive.

COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Underlying Condition Crippled the Market Growth

The pandemic's disruption of industrial growth has disrupted the manufacturing of metals, especially steel. This has caused the market share for calcined anthracite to be in less demand. Due to the disruption in the supply chain and the personnel shortage, production operations were hampered in a number of end-use industries. It consequently had an impact on how the market developed in 2020. The current situation leads to the assumption that the market size will stabilize and accelerate market growth during the projection period.

LATEST TRENDS

"Multiplying Application Due to its Filtration Attribute to Enlarge the Market Size"

In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the use of calcined anthracite coal powder will increase due to its excellent filtration efficacy, high level of purity, and erosive resistant nature in sugar refineries, petroleum refineries, paper mills, the water filtration, chemical industry, and cement factories.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Superior Product Properties Over the Conventional Coal Products to Drive the Market"

Calcined anthracite has a higher percentage of carbon volatile matter content, moisture, and lower ash content as compared to typical coal products. Because of this, it has evolved to be in high demand in the industrial sector for the manufacturing of metal alloys, which requires coal with quite minimal impurities and moisture levels. Additionally, it has the highest level of coalification of non-metamorphic, which contributes to its desirability. The potential market is thus anticipated to increase during the forecast period due to the presence of such properties.

"Rising Manufacture of Aluminum Will Boost the Market Growth"

Electrically calcined anthracite is widely utilised as a smelting ingredient in the aluminium industry due to its high level of purity and quality. The market's demand has increased as a result of product production and growing demand. But because raw materials are so easily available, the aluminium sector is expected to flourish in a number of different places along with it. As a result, it is anticipated that the market would rise over the forecast period due to the rising production and demand for aluminium.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The main raw material utilized in the production of calcined anthracite is anthracite. Anthracite prices have been highly erratic during the last few years as a result of changes in mining production. In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the price of the product will increase due to inadequate output rates and growing raw material costs. The pricing of anthracite coal is directly impacted by changes in output volume, which also has a direct impact on product prices.
