The global graphitized cathode market size is expected to be USD 1208.3 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 2341.29 million in 2031, at a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period.
Graphite is a mineral of carbon used in numerous uses such as refractories, electrical vehicles, lubricating agents, foundry, and construction activities. Graphitizing of the whole cathode chunk yields exceptional steadiness, quality, thermal and electrical conductivity, anti-thermal shock, and bath resistivity, associated with graphitic chunks or amorphous carbon chunks. These features have added to a significant development of fabrication efficiency at aluminum smelters globally. It is documented as the universal standard of cathode blocks. A cathode block is a negative conductor and is used in the coating of aluminum reduction cells. High-quality cathode blocks help to improve the efficiency of aluminum smelting that devours massive volumes of power. Graphitized type cathode block is founded on petroleum/pitch coke; baked at ~ 800 ¡ãC trailed by graphitization at over 2500 ¡ãC.
The growing consumption of minerals in the fabrication of lithium-ion batteries used in automobiles is projected to boost the demand. The key players, and the governments, are extremely validating the operation of EVs. The market is observing significant advances motivated by the growing emphasis on cultivating sturdiness, productivity, compatibility, and charging time. Consumer electronic devices and equipment, the renewable energy sector, automotive industry, are all motivating the demand for batteries, augmenting the demand for cathode supplies.
COVID-19 Impact: Lockdown Restrictions to Slower Market Growth
The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with graphitized cathode experiencing lower-than-anticipated/higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The rise in CAGR is attributable to the graphitized cathode market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.
The disastrous condition of the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world in 2019 and ever since has been unfavorably impacting the majority of industries. The financial havoc witnessed throughout this period internationally has enforced businesses to make disparaging choices concerning their business. However, the severe protection rules for batteries through storage and transportation and disapproving conditions ascending due to the COVID-19 outbreak are expected to position an encounter in the growth of the graphitized cathode market during the forecast period.
