Global Soderberg Electrode Paste Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Soderberg Electrode Paste market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,449 million in 2025 to US$ 1,676 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.1% from 2026 to 2032.

Electrode paste was invented by Mr. Soderbergh. It is usually called Soderbergh electrode paste. The production process of electrode paste itself is relatively simple. Basically, it is calcined anthracite, calcined petroleum coke, residual anode, graphite powder, etc. Crushing, sieving and grinding, then mixing and heating in a certain proportion and kneading with coal tar pitch to form a carbon paste with good fluidity and high plasticity, and finally an electrode paste with a certain shape and size through natural molding. In the production of different types of ferroalloys and calcium carbide, it is self-baked into a conductor in a submerged arc furnace.

Global key players of Soderberg electrode paste include Yangguang Carbon, Elkem, Rongxing Group, Energoprom Group, Tokai COBEX, etc. The top five players hold a share over 60%. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, has a share about 65%, followed by Europe, and North America, with share 11% and 10%, separately.
