What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Metallurgical Coke Market?
The surge in the steel industry is set to accelerate the expansion of the metallurgical coke market. When we talk about the steel industry, we refer to the practice of converting iron ore into steel, an iron-carbon compound, and in some cases, recycling scrap metal into steel. Metallurgical coke plays a vital role in the smelting of iron ore and limestone into liquid iron, which is subsequently treated and heated to create steel. For example, World Steel, a US organization, predicts that steel demand will rise by 0.4% in 2022 to hit 1,840.2 million tons (Mt). This demand is forecasted to grow by a further 2.2% in 2023, reaching 1,881.4 Mt. Hence, the fast-paced evolution of the steel industry is fueling the expansion of the metallurgical coke market.
