At 0.6% CAGR, the Asia Pacific Solid Fuel Market is speculated to be worth US$ 2,61,181.03 Million by 2028, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Asia Pacific solid fuel market was valued at US$ 2,52,041.60 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2,61,181.03 million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 0.6% from 2022 to 2028. Rising demand for petcoke and establishment of refineries driving use of coal are the critical factors attributed to the Asia Pacific solid fuel market expansion.
Industries across the world are demanding different energy sources. The cement, steel, and power industries are generating high demand for petroleum coke (petcoke). Petcoke is cheaper than overseas coal. Owing to rising urbanization and population, demand for construction and electricity generation is increasing at an exponential rate. Petcoke is used in manufacturing building materials and generating electricity.
In countries such as India, petcoke is no longer available with Reliance company for local markets. Thus, India is increasingly importing petcoke owing to its rising demand from cement makers to produce building materials. Till 2021, Reliance was the biggest domestic supplier of petcoke in India. Moreover, as per India’s solid fuels trade I-Energy Natural Resources, prices of petcoke increased in the country due to the high demand from cement manufacturers. All the factors mentioned above are projected to boost the usage of petcoke, which would bolster the solid fuel market growth during the forecast period.
On the contrary, availability of coal substitutes hurdles the growth of Asia Pacific solid fuel market.
