Overview

Scope of the Report

The global Needle Coke for Anode Materials for Li-ion Battery market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,427 million in 2025 to US$ 3,514 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.0% from 2026 to 2032.

Needle coke is used for the production of synthetic graphite and it is the only suitable material for manufacturing of the highest quality, 99% plus pure graphite through graphitisation process. The anode is the negative electrode of a primary cell and is always associated with the oxidation or the release of electrons into the external circuit. In a rechargeable cell, the anode is the negative pole during discharge and the positive pole during charge. The vast majority of lithium-ion batteries use graphite powder as an anode material. Graphite materials are either synthetically-produced (artificial graphite) or mined from the ground (natural graphite), then heavily processed before being baked onto a copper foil to serve as anodes.

China"s policy on lithium-ion batteries mainly focuses on lithium-ion batteries. In 2015, in order to strengthen the management of lithium-ion battery industry and improve the development level of the industry, China formulated the Standard of Lithium-ion Battery Industry. the global sales of new energy vehicles reached 10.8 million units in 2022, with a year-on-year increase of 61.6%. In 2022, China new energy vehicle sales reached 6.8 million units, and the global share increased to 63.6%. In Q4 2022, sales penetration rate of China"s new energy vehicle reached 27%, while the global average penetration rate was only 15%. Europe penetration was 19%, and North America penetration rate was only 6%. Lithium batteries will fully benefit from the high growth of downstream demand. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, China"s lithium-ion battery production reached 750 GWh in 2022, up more than 130 percent year on year. Among them, the output of lithium energy storage battery exceeded 100 GWh, and the total output value of the industry exceeded 1.2 trillion yuan. The industrial application of lithium battery was also growing rapidly. In 2022, the loading capacity of new energy vehicle power battery was about 295 GWh, and the new energy vehicle power battery was about 295 GWh. According to our research, in 2022, the overall global lithium-ion battery shipments were 957GWh, a year-on-year increase of 70%. Global vehicle power battery (EV LIB) shipments were 684GWh, a year-on-year increase of 84%; Energy storage battery (ESS LIB) shipments were 159.3GWh, a year-on-year increase of 140%.
