Graphite Market Analysis: 2024-2030
Market Overview
The global graphite market was valued at USD 32.15 billion in 2023, with expectations to reach USD 45.94 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.23% from 2024 to 2030. Graphite, also known as plumbago, is a crystalline form of carbon characterized by its hexagonal atomic structure. Its stability under normal conditions and high conductivity make it indispensable in various industries, including electronics, automotive, and energy storage.
Market Dynamics
1. Revolution in Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
The growing demand for lightweight, high-capacity batteries, especially in electric vehicles (EVs), is a key driver for graphite consumption. Lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate batteries, which heavily rely on graphite as an anode material, are projected to dominate the battery market. The demand for graphite in batteries alone accounts for nearly 25% of total requirements, highlighting its critical role in energy storage solutions.
2. Growth in Electric Vehicle Adoption
Global sales of electric vehicles surged to 10 million in 2020, fueled by climate change concerns and a shift toward sustainable transportation. Major companies, such as Tesla, have ramped up production capabilities, further driving demand for lithium-ion batteries and, consequently, graphite. The construction of over 115 gigafactories worldwide illustrates the robust growth potential in this sector.
3. Expanding Industrial Applications
Beyond batteries, graphite is used extensively in various industrial applications. Traditional uses include lubricants, refractory materials, and components in automotive parts, coatings, and even aerospace technologies. As industries evolve and seek efficient materials, the demand for graphite is expected to rise, supported by innovations in product formulations and applications.
4. Rising Prices and Supply Constraints
China, controlling 70% to 80% of global graphite supply, has witnessed price increases driven by demand spikes and production constraints. In 2021, prices surged as disruptions, including environmental inspections and production cuts, constrained supply. This price volatility poses challenges for market growth, as manufacturers grapple with fluctuating costs.
