Calcined anthracite coal is a high-quality coal that undergoes calcination, a process where it is heated to a high temperature to remove volatile substances. This results in a material with higher carbon content, greater hardness, and improved conductivity, making it ideal for industrial applications. Its primary use is as a carbon additive in the production of steel, aluminum, and other industrial materials, enhancing the efficiency of smelting processes. Additionally, it is used in various applications requiring a stable, high-performance carbon material.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The main types of calcined anthracite coal include gas calcined anthracite and electrically calcined anthracite. Gas calcined anthracite is produced by heating anthracite coal in a gas-fired furnace, which removes volatiles and reduces sulfur and ash content, making it suitable for industrial applications. This coal is available in various forms, such as granular, powder, briquettes, and more. Calcined anthracite coal is primarily used in applications such as steelmaking, foundry, water filtration, pulverized coal injection (PCI), and as a carbon additive. It is typically distributed through direct sales, wholesalers, distributors, and online retail channels, with end-users in industries such as metallurgy, chemicals, and other sectors.

This calcined anthracite coal market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The calcined anthracite coal market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from$3.47 billion in 2024 to $3.70 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising need for clean and safe water, the growing demand for water treatment solutions, the increasing need for high-quality carbon materials, expanding industrialization, and heightened awareness about water pollution.
The calcined anthracite coal market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to$4.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the expanding steel sector, the increasing demand for premium carbon materials, a heightened focus on recycling and sustainability, rising urbanization, and the growing need for steel. Key trends during this period include the integration of digital technologies, eco-friendly mining practices, advanced water treatment solutions, innovations in coal calcination methods, and ongoing technological advancements.
The increasing demand for steel is expected to drive the growth of the calcined anthracite coal market in the future. Steel, an alloy of iron and carbon often combined with other elements, is known for its strength and versatility in construction, manufacturing, and industrial applications. The growing demand for steel is fueled by rapid urbanization and industrialization, which are driving infrastructure development and manufacturing. Calcined anthracite coal plays a crucial role in steel production by enhancing carbon content, reducing impurities, and improving thermal efficiency in blast and electric arc furnaces. For example, in June 2024, the American Iron and Steel Institute, a U.S.-based trade association, reported that U.S. raw steel production in 2023 reached 89.7 million net tons, reflecting a 1.1% increase compared to 2022. As a result, the increasing demand for steel is propelling the growth of the calcined anthracite coal market.
Companies in the calcined anthracite coal market are making strategic investments, such as building new production facilities, to boost output capacity, meet rising demand, and improve supply chain efficiency. These investments also focus on enhancing product quality, lowering production costs, and strengthening their market positions amid increasing industrial demand. For instance, in 2023, Tata Steel, an Indian steel manufacturer, introduced a new EAF facility that utilizes calcined anthracite to improve carbon content control and reduce emissions. This facility features advanced automation, higher thermal efficiency, and the ability to produce high-quality steel with fewer impurities. The use of calcined anthracite in such facilities underscores its role in promoting sustainable industrial practices.
In July 2024, PT Delta Dunia Makmur Tbk, an Indonesia-based mining company, acquired Atlantic Carbon Group for an undisclosed sum. With this acquisition, Delta Dunia Group aims to expand from a mining service provider to a mine owner, diversify its revenue sources by increasing its exposure to future-facing commodities, and strengthen its position in the ultra-high-grade (UHG) anthracite market to support low-carbon steel (LC steel) production. Atlantic Carbon Group, Inc., a U.S.-based mining company, specializes in providing calcined anthracite coal.
