London, UK  November 2025 | Strategic Revenue Insights Inc. – The global Graphite Electrode market is set for meaningful expansion through the coming decade, according to our latest research. The market is projected to grow from its 2024 base to reach USD 23.66 billion by 2033  reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.85%.

Graphite electrodes remain a critical input for modern steelmaking, especially as more producers adopt energy‑efficient, lower‑carbon methods such as electric arc furnaces (EAFs). Demand for high‑quality graphite electrodes particularly Ultra‑High Power (UHP) has surged as steelmaker’s worldwide shift toward scrap-based steel production, driven by environmental regulations and rising demand for specialty steel grades.

The growth drivers behind the Graphite Electrode market are both structural and demand‑led. Global urbanization, infrastructure development, and expanding automotive and construction sectors are fueling a steady rise in steel demand  and because EAF-based production uses graphite electrodes to melt scrap or raw materials, demand for electrodes scales accordingly. Simultaneously, increasing environmental concerns and carbon‑emission targets are accelerating the switch from traditional blast furnaces to EAFs, boosting graphite electrode consumption.

On a regional level, the Asia‑Pacific region leads global demand for graphite electrodes. Rapid industrialization, expanding steel capacity, and high adoption of EAF technology in countries such as China and India make the region a dominant force in electrode consumption. Meanwhile, demand in North America and Europe is supported by steady steel output, rising replacement and maintenance needs, and growing emphasis on sustainable steelmaking practices.

The market segments naturally by electrode grade and application. By grade, the focus is on Regular Power (RP), High Power (HP), and Ultra‑High Power (UHP) electrodes with UHP electrodes capturing the largest share thanks to their superior thermal and electrical performance, which makes them ideal for efficient EAF steelmaking. By application, the primary end‑use remains EAF steelmaking, which accounts for the bulk of global graphite electrode consumption, while secondary uses include ladle furnaces (LF) and other metallurgical and smelting applications.

At the company level, several established names continue to dominate supply. Key players such as GrafTech International Ltd., Graphite India Ltd., Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd., Showa Denko K.K. (through its carbon products division), Fangda Carbon New Material Co., Ltd., Nippon Carbon Co., Ltd. and other specialist carbon/electrode manufacturers lead the competitive landscape. Many are investing in high‑power electrode technology, capacity expansion, and raw‑material sourcing strategies to meet growing global demand and mitigate supply‑chain risks.

Looking ahead to 2033 and beyond, the Graphite Electrode market is likely to sustain its growth trajectory. As more steel producers commit to EAF-based production to meet carbon‑reduction goals, the demand for high‑quality UHP electrodes should intensify. Opportunities also exist in emerging markets undergoing rapid infrastructure build-out, and in regions expanding recycling‑based steelmaking which relies heavily on EAF processes. Moreover, volatility in raw‑material (e.g., needle coke) supply may drive industry consolidation and create advantages for vertically integrated or well‑capitalized suppliers.
