Global Graphite Market Size Projected To Grow To $25.70 Billion In 2028

Palm Beach, FL – March 30, 2023 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Graphite is a kind of elemental carbon that is one of the few elements found in its natural state. It combines metallic and non-metallic qualities, making it ideal for a wide variety of industrial applications. It has high electrical and thermal conductivity, exceptional thermal stability, and lubricity. In the coming decades, this industry is expected to face major market shifts, as the booming lithium-ion battery industry is expected to significantly boost production. Via the use of refractory materials, the steel industry has historically been the driver of consumption. Robust growth for the battery industry is expected to fuel demand, depending on economic factors such as market penetration and adoption, as a growing number of countries around the world step up their efforts to encourage the production and use of green energy in order to transition towards a lower emission future in the transport and energy sectors.  A report from Fortune Business Insights projected that the global graphite market size was USD 13.60 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow from USD 14.83 billion in 2021 to USD 25.70 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 8.2% during the 2021-2028 period.  Active companies in the markets this week include: Reflex Advanced Materials Corp. (OTCQB: RFLXF) (CSE: RFLX), Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), Patriot Battery Metals Inc. (OTCQX: PMETF)  (TSX-V: PMET), Syrah Resources Limited (OTCPK: SYAAF) (OTCPK: SRHYY), Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (NYSE: NMG) (TSX-V: NOU).

 

The report said: “Graphite is a solution in the automobile industry for manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, which are used to fuel new-generation electric vehicles and increase energy density while reducing charging times. It is also used to make thermally conductive polymers, which are increasingly being used to replace metal in the manufacturing of automotive components.  Demand is expected to rise in the coming years as anode content use of lithium-ion batteries increases in line with the adoption of electric vehicles and lithium-ion battery applications.  China is also the world’s largest producer for battery applications, a demand segment projected to expand in the upcoming years, with the highest growth rate for lithium-ion battery manufacturing in the automotive industry and energy storage systems. The lithium-ion battery value chain is primarily based in China, and Chinese anode suppliers have the highest installed capacities globally.”
