Market Analysis and Insights : Global Coal Tar Market

The coal tar market is expected to witness market growth at a rate of 2.70% in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028 and is expected to reach USD 18.40 billion by 2028. Data Bridge Market Research report on coal tar market provides analysis and insights regarding the various factors expected to be prevalent throughout the forecast period while providing their impacts on the market’s growth. The increasing demand for the product from the end user industries are the major factors driving the coal tar market.

Coal tar refers to a black, thick and viscous, black residue which is left after coal tar distillation. This tar includes chemical compounds such as carcinogens and utilized in many applications including paint and coatings, paving roads and asphalt products. The product is known to play an important role in the production of steel and in the production process of aluminium. Coal tar is extensively utilized as a binding agent in the manufacturing of graphite electrodes that are used in electric arc furnaces in steel plants and in carbon anodes utilized in aluminium smelters.

The increasing demand for aluminium from the automotive, aerospace, and space industries owing to its strength and low weight and the implementation of stringent regulations regarding vehicle emissions making manufacturers adopt lightweight aluminium components are the major factors driving the coal tar market. The growth in the manufacturing industries has increased the demand for carbon raw materials and products including petroleum coke, coal tar, anodes and cathodes and the utilization of the product for the production of electrodes in the aluminium industry due to its economic feasibility and sustainability as a binder further accelerates the coal tar market growth. It is being widely used in various applications such as a base for paint and coatings, as a binder in asphalt products and in paving roads among others and its use in the production of graphite electrodes that are further employed in electric arc furnaces in steel plants and in carbon anodes utilized in aluminium smelters also boosts the coal tar market. Additionally, increasing number of infrastructure projects, rise in demand for light-weight automobile components and the growth of aerospace positively affect the coal tar market. The technological advancement in the application and expansion of end use industries extend profitable opportunities to the coal tar market players in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028.   

On the other hand, the production of secondary aluminum (recycled aluminum) that does not require coal tar is expected to obstruct the coal tar market growth. The rise in the concerns regarding the emission of harmful greenhouse gases during the production of coal tar is projected to challenge the coal tar market in the forecast period of 2021 to 2028.
