Market Insight

Graphite is the naturally occurring mineral with pure carbon. Graphite is formed naturally through the metamorphism of carbon-rich materials in rock. The graphite is in either crystalline flake graphite or fine-grained amorphous graphite or crystalline vein or lump graphite form. Although, graphite is a non-metal material it has very similar properties as that of metals. The graphite offers excellent heat and electricity conductivity, high strength and stiffness, high resistance toward the high temperature and chemical attack as well as it has natural lubricity.

Rapidly growing usage of graphite in the battery and the automotive sectors are the factors driving the growth of the graphite market worldwide. In the battery industries, the graphite is used to construct the electrodes in batteries. The rising use of smartphones and tablets contributes to the growth of the graphite market as the graphite is used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. The graphite used as Refractory material in the automotive, chemical and other industries as they have high resistant towards heat, pressure, or chemical attack so they used the information of structure and components that are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. In addition, the use of graphite in various industries including Steel, aerospace, marine, construction and others is likely to boost the market growth over the forecast period.

Moreover, the rising demand for the high strength lightweight materials for the automotive and aircraft industries are projected to escalate the market growth between the forecast period. The versatile uses and application of the graphite is expected to create several opportunities for the graphite market in upcoming years.

Among the region, the Asia-Pacific the region holds for the maximum share in terms of demand and Consumption as China produced around 70 to 80% of the total world’s graphite. The rapidly growing industrialization creates the demand for graphite from various industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction and others, which in turn, is driving the growth of the graphite market in the Asia-Pacific region.
