Research analysis on the global petcoke market identifies that the increasing usage of petcoke as a cost-effective fuel will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Technavio's market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 8% by 2021. Petcoke is increasingly used as a low-priced substitute to coal to generate power from coal-fired power plants. Since petcoke is a by-product in the hydrocarbon value chain, it is priced much lower than conventional coal. Heating the fuel-grade coke to a high temperature eliminates moisture, reduces the volatile matter, and raises the density of the product. The resultant calcined coke is nearly pure carbon with high electrical conductivity. Moreover, the cost of petcoke production is much lower than the price of coal which is also driving its popularity across the globe.
In terms of geographic regions, the Americas will be the major revenue contributor to the petcoke market throughout the forecast period. The rise in processing of heavy crude oil and tar sands and the increasing investments in coking units in various green field refineries, will be the major factors driving the growth of the petroleum coke market in this region.
The petcoke market consists of established vendors and is intensely competitive. The growth in the processing of tar sands and heavy oil coupled with the rise in focus on fuel variation, will offer significant growth opportunities for vendors in this marketspace. Manufacturers in the petroleum coke market are focusing on producing high-quality calcined petcoke for various industrial applications.
