Summary

Graphite Market Growth & Trends

The global graphite market size is expected to reach USD 25.56 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is projected to be driven by the rising penetration of electric vehicles in the automotive industry, along with growing investments in the development of green steel across the globe.

Graphite can be segmented into two types, natural and synthetic. Natural graphite is a crystalline rock formed from carbon elements. It is extracted from the mining of non-metallic mineral rock. Synthetic graphite is man-made and obtained from heating petroleum coke, coal tar, and needle coke at extremely high temperatures. The synthetic graphite segment holds a major share of the market.

By application, electrodes, and refractories together account for the major market share. Their demand is mainly due to the large-scale steel industry, which is flourishing owing to its growing consumption in the building & construction industry. Rising investments in infrastructure projects such as industrial facilities, renewable energy stations, and transportation networks are propelling the steel demand, and eventually benefiting the graphite industry. As per the World Steel Association, steel demand is anticipated to increase by 2.3% in 2023.

Battery production is another vital application segment of the market. Growing demand for electric vehicles across the world is primarily driving the consumption of graphite in batteries and is anticipated to lead to market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency, automotive Li-ion battery demand rose by 65% in 2022 compared to 2021.

Asia Pacific region is expected to offer the highest growth potential during the forecast period. The growth in the production of refractories, batteries, and electrodes in economies such as China, Australia, India, and Japan, is expected to keep the positive momentum for the market. Growth in steel and automotive industries is anticipated to positively influence graphite demand in the region over the forecast period.

The growing population, rising standard of living, and increasing disposable income in the developing economies of the region have led to high consumption of steel, energy, and their respective products. For instance, based on information provided by the China Passenger Cars Association (CPCA) for 2022, the sales volume for new energy passenger vehicles within the country reached 5,304,000 units. This represents a significant increase of 90.0% compared to the previous year and accounts for 27.62% of the total sales volume for passenger vehicles.

Companies are adopting strategic initiatives to stay ahead in the market. For instance, in June 2022, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation raised the annual production capacity of its natural graphite anode from 2 kilotons to 12 kilotons. This expansion is taking place at its subsidiary, Qingdao Anode Kasei, situated in China, with plans for the facility to commence operations in the first half of 2023.

Graphite Market Report Highlights

• Based on application, the battery production segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period. The rising shift toward green energy, high demand for electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage systems are anticipated to propel the segment’s growth

• Based on region, Asia Pacific dominated the market with more than 60.0% of the global revenue in 2022. The increasing investments in the development of infrastructure for electric vehicles, renewable energy, and its storage system, and the adoption of green steel manufacturing technology are expected to surge the demand for graphite in the region

• Due to intense competitive rivalry, leading market players are investing in R&D activities to remain ahead in the market
