Qualitative and quantitative insights were obtained by interviewing supply-side and demand-side stakeholders during the primary research process. From petroleum coke producers, oil refineries, calciners, and trading houses, supply-side sources included CEOs, VPs of Refining Operations, trading leaders, and commercial directors. Steel manufacturers, electrode producers, and titanium dioxide facilities were among the demand-side sources, which included procurement managers from aluminum smelters, cement plant operations directors, power plant fuel managers, and sourcing leaders. Market segmentation was verified, refinery expansion timelines were verified, and insights regarding sulfur content specifications, pricing mechanisms, and environmental compliance dynamics were obtained through primary research.

Global market valuation was derived through production volume analysis and trade flow mapping. The methodology included:
Identification of over 65 critical refineries and calciners in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa
Product mapping across fuel-grade coke, calcined coke (sponge, shot, needle, honeycomb), and specialty carbon grades
Analysis of reported and modeled annual production volumes specific to petroleum coke categories
Coverage of producers representing 75-80% of global market share in 2024
Extrapolation using bottom-up (production volume × price realization by region) and top-down (refinery capacity utilization validation) approaches to derive segment-specific valuations
