The global calcined anthracite market size is expected to reach USD 4.83 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. High carbon content, along with superior thermal and electrical stability offered by the product as compared to conventional anthracite, is expected to propel its demand in steel manufacturing.
Calcined anthracite manufacturers position themselves in the market on the basis of product quality, price, and production volumes. However, the persistent demand-supply gap in the industry, caused by declining raw material availability, coupled with the presence of substitutes such as petcoke, is expected to limit industry growth.
Major manufacturers are primarily located in China, U.S., and European countries owing to easy access to anthracite in these regions. Many of these players have established contracts with anthracite mining companies to ensure the secure flow of raw materials for manufacturing. However, declining mining activities across the globe are expected to hamper the raw material supply chain.
Discrepancies in the production volume of anthracite coal have a severe impact on its pricing, which directly affects the prices of calcined anthracite. Anthracite prices have seen major fluctuations in the past five years owing to variations in mining output. Insufficient production volumes and rising raw material prices are likely to increase calcined anthracite prices in the near future.
