Latest News- Coal Tar Market: Low temperature coal tar is expected to lead the Type segment during 2025-2029

The Coal Tar Market is being driven by Increasing demand for coal tar products from healthcare sector

The Coal Tar Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 2323.2 million. In the business realm of raw materials, coal tar pitches have emerged as a significant player due to their indispensable role in the production of electrodes for primary aluminum manufacturing. With the global primary aluminum production reaching 5,744 thousand metric tons in May 2021, led by China with 3,344 thousand metric tons, the demand for coal tar pitches has surged. Each 100 lbs. of aluminum production necessitates approximately 10 lbs. of coal tar pitch. The escalating demand for aluminum across diverse sectors fuels the market growth for this distilled coal tar derivative. Moreover, advanced coal tar pitches, such as Zero QI impregnation pitches, are revolutionizing the industry. Derived from high-temperature coal tar, Zero QI pitches augment the density and strength of graphite and carbon electrodes, thereby improving electrical conductance and reducing porosity.
