Market Insights

Graphite is flexible and has both metallic and non-metallic properties making it suitable for diverse industrial applications. The non-metallic properties include chemical inertness, high thermal resistance and lubricity, whereas metallic properties include thermal and electrical conductivity. Due to developments in battery technologies related to the emerging electric vehicle and green energy markets; graphite has recently been the focus of numerous companies. Global graphite production has risen from 100,000 tpa in the early 1900s to estimated 1.2 mtpa in 2014 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of just over 2%. According to United States Geological Survey (USGS) China is the world’s leading supplier of natural graphite (flake and amorphous) with approximately 67% of global production followed by India, Brazil, Canada and North Korea cumulatively accounting around 25% of the global graphite production.
