Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral form of the element carbon. It is extremely soft and dark gray to black in color with a shiny appearance. Graphite is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings. It is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is due to these properties that graphite finds widespread industrial applications. Some of the major uses of graphite include its use as refractors, lubricants, foundry facings, pencils, electrodes, and thermal and electrical conductors. The global graphite market is expected to grow substantially over the coming years owing to increasing demand from the electronics, metallurgy, and telecommunication industries across the world.

Market Dynamics:

The global graphite market is driven by factors such as rising demand from lithium-ion battery manufacturing, growth of steel industry, and increasing usage in friction products. Graphite is a crucial raw material used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and grid-level energy storage systems. Rapid adoption of EVs and increasing sales of electronics are fueling the demand for graphite. Additionally, graphite finds widespread application as refractory material in steelmaking processes. The expanding steel industry, especially in Asia Pacific, acts as a major growth driver. However, availability of substitutes such as carbon fibers and presence of synthetic and natural graphite mining challenges hamper the market growth. On the positive side, growing R&D towards improving performance of graphite in Li-ion batteries and developing graphene from graphite open new avenues.
