Graphite Market is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 5.24% by 2035 | ChemAnalyst

NEW YORK - Jan. 27, 2022 - PRLog -- According to ChemAnalyst report, "Graphite Market Analysis: Plant Capacity, Production, Operating Efficiency, Technology, Demand & Supply, Applications, Type, Distribution Channel, Regional Demand, 2015-2035". Graphite market witnessed a demand of around 2.89 million tons globally in 2021 and it is anticipated to grow with a healthy CAGR of 4.62 % until 2035 owing to its surging demand in Metallurgy, Electronics & Electricals, Automotive & Construction and Various Other sectors.

Graphite is an allotropic form of carbon which are occur in nature as black mineral in metamorphic rocks. Graphite is unique in nature because despite being a non-metal, it shows various metallic properties. It is soft & brittle in nature and unlike other non-metals, it is a very good conductor of heat & electricity. It has low density, high lubricity & show very high resistant to temperature, i.e., has very high boiling point. It is very inert to substances which are in contact with it and do not react easily. These extreme properties give it a large range of applications in metallurgy and manufacturing.  Some of the key end uses of graphite are in high-temperature lubricants, brushes for electrical motors, friction materials, and battery and fuel cells.

Based on Type, its market is segmented into two Natural Graphite & Synthetic Graphite.  Natural graphite in its finely powdered form is called flakes. It is used as lock lubricant & pencil "Lead". Commercial flake graphite products are available in purities range of around 80% carbon to 99+ percent carbon. Flake with purity range of 80-98% typically represent materials beneficiated using only froth floatation method. Flake above 98% purity has been purified using other process. Expanded graphite form, made from graphite flakes, are widely used in electronics & automotive industries for making Li-ion batteries. Graphite is used as negative electrode in rechargeable Li-ion cells. Synthetic graphite constitutes around 60% of market and is majorly used in furnace technology for metallurgy industry.

Graphite is a key ingredient for the production of Steel, & other Ferrous alloys in Metallurgy. Graphite finds its applications in electrodes, refractories, casting & foundry.
