Foundry Coke Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Process (Beehive , Form-Coke , Jumbo-Ovens, Product Recovery , Others), By Application (Automotive Parts Casting, Machinery Casting, Material Treatment, Insulation, Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global foundry coke market is seeing remarkable growth, with a significant CAGR forecasted throughout the period up to 2032. Foundry coke is also called hard coal coke, it is a high-quality grade of coke. The process such as a beehive, form-coke, jumbo-ovens, and by-product recovery process are used in the manufacturing of foundry coke. The product is highly utilized for efficient cupolas for melting iron and other metals such as copper, lead, tin, and zinc at cupola furnace foundries. Additionally, the foundry coke has a denser structure, high carbon content, low ash content, high strength, and high heating value. It is also available in various sizes based on customer requirements. The foundry coke finds its use in various applications such as automotive parts casting, machinery casting, and insulation.    

The foundry coke market is growing at its rapid pace owing to increasing its adoption over metallurgical coke. The product is available in a larger size when compared with metallurgical coke. Also, the large-sized foundry coke offers advantages of lower blasting pressure, reduced reaction with CO2, increased metal temperature, and reduced breakage from handling. These benefits make foundry coke as a sustainable choice over metallurgical coke. It is highly used as a supporting matrix, energy carrier, and reducing agent, during the pig iron manufacturing process. Hence rising demand for the product will boost the foundry coke industry growth during the forecast timeline.

However, the fluctuation in the prices of foundry coke hampers the overall demand and restrict its adoption in various applications. Hence, this is anticipated to hamper the market growth.
