Metallurgical coke market was valued at $21 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $28 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 2.0%. In total economic terms including both captive and traded coke, the market stood at $200 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $265 billion by 2035. The large difference arises because nearly 90% of global coke output is produced and consumed internally by integrated steel mills, leaving only a small share available for commercial sale.

Metallurgical coke is primarily used in the blast furnace to make iron. Coke is also used in other metallurgical processes, such as the manufacture of cast iron, ferroalloys, lead, and zinc, and in kilns to make lime and magnesium. Metallurgical coke is the solid product obtained from the carbonization of coal, principally coking coal, at high temperature. Metallurgical Coke plays an indispensable role in the steel industry, where it is used in the blast furnace process to produce iron and steel. During this process, Met Coke serves as both a reducing agent and a source of energy. The Indian Government is largely favouring domestic producers with policy-based interventions and regulatory reforms. These efforts are intended to enhance local metallurgical coke production, stimulate capacity building, and provide a stable supply for the steel sector.
For instance, in December 2024, the Indian government imposed six-month import curbs on low ash metallurgical coke from January to June 2025. The government also applied quantitative restrictions (QR) on imports from some countries, such as Australia, China, Colombia, Indonesia, Japan, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, and the UK. The policy caps total imports at 1,427,166 metric tons (MT) and imposes country-based quotas to maintain trade balance and ensure supply chain strength.
Under the policy, the largest share has been allocated to Poland under the policy at 506,336 MT, followed by Colombia at 249,771 MT and Japan at 209,980 MT. Other significant allocations are seen in Indonesia at 66,364 MT and Singapore at 46,478 MT, presenting India’s strategy to balance traditional suppliers with emerging markets. To facilitate successful implementation and oversight, the policy contains the following instructions:
