Global Coal Tar Pitch Market Research Report Information by Grade (Aluminum Grade, Graphite Grade, Special Grade) By End-User (Aluminum Smelting, Graphite Electrodes, Roofing, Carbon Fiber, Refractories, Other Applications), And by Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa) Forecast Till 2032
From 2024 to 2032, it is anticipated that the coal tar pitch industry will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.48% expansion. The sector's expanded aluminum production serves as an incentive for the coal tar pitch market.
The automotive, aerospace, and space industries are increasingly utilizing lightweight aluminum components to assist in market expansion. This is due to the increasing demand for aluminum, which is characterized by its low weight and strength, as well as the implementation of stringent regulations regarding vehicle emissions.
The aluminum industry extensively utilizes coal tar pitch as a result of its exceptional adhesion to metal. Aluminum is a lightweight metal that is one-third the weight of steel, which leads to reduced manufacturing costs. Its specific weight is 2.7 g/cm3. It is utilized in automobiles to reduce inert weight, which in turn improves engine performance and decreases energy consumption. Additionally, this leads to an improvement in comfort and a reduction in pollution. The alloy composition can be altered to meet the application's requirements, thereby adjusting the strength. Conversely, aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloys are the most suitable for vehicle body sheets due to their high age-hardening when applied through the bake-on process. Aluminum-magnesium-manganese alloys provide the most optimal combination of formability and strength.
Market segmentation insights
The global coal tar pitch has been categorized into three grades: special grade, graphite grade, and aluminum grade.
