The report states that,
presently, petcoke trade is swinging east due to the heavy demand for fuel
grade coke in the industrializing countries of Asia Pacific. In this region,
China and India are exhibiting sizeable demand for petcoke due to the
unprecedented demand for power to run these industries.On the contrary,
pollution-causing traits and the environmental concerns about the same are not
encouraging the utilization of petcoke. Thus, the growth of the market is
negatively affected. Nevertheless, to counter this, market participants can
engage in gasification of petcoke, which will lead to the production of clean
power and increase profit margins in return.
The report divides the
global petcoke market in the basis of product type, end-use, and region. By
product type, fuel grade and calcined coke are the segments of the market.
Between the two, it is the fuel grade product type that will lead the market
during the forecast period. In 2013, fuel-grade petcoke held more than 72.0% of
the overall market, whereas calcined type held 26.0% of the market. This is
mainly due to its cost-effectiveness in comparison with coal and natural gas.
Fuel grade petcoke also has the advantage of high calorific value in comparison
with natural gas and coal.
However, increasing
aluminum production will boost the demand for calcined petcoke during the
forecast period, says the report. Calcined petcoke is also used in paints and
coatings, steel, paper, and fertilizers, which will boost the demand for the
product in the coming years.
Currently, Asia Pacific is
the dominant region for petroleum coke. In 2013, the region contributed almost
32% of the revenue of the global market. This is attributed to the massive
demand for petcoke from India and China. In these countries, the power and
cement industries account for bulk consumption of petcoke.
In the same year, at 24%,
Europe held slightly less than a quarter of the global market for petroleum
coke, adds the report. However, Asia Pacific and Europe will register the
highest growth rate in the global petroleum coke market during the report’s
forecast period, which will be the target regions for companies operating in
this market.
The report mentions and
profiles the top companies that operate in the global petcoke market, namely BP
Plc, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil Corporation, Saudi Arabian Oil Company,
Valero Energy Corporation, Essar Oil Ltd, Indian Oil Corporation Limited,
Reliance Industries Limited, and Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
