The burgeoning production of crude steel, on account of the surging need for steel and steel products in the oil & gas, residential, automotive, and construction sectors, is one of the key contributors to the market growth, globally. According to the World Steel Association, 1,864.0 million tons of steel was manufactured across the globe in 2020. The consumption of graphite in the steel industry is increasing, owing to its excellent durability, exceptional strength at extreme temperatures, and high corrosion resistance capacity.

At present, the graphite market is fragmented in nature with the presence of numerous industry players, such as Syrah Resources Ltd., SGL Carbon SE, Graphite India Ltd., Shanshan Corporation, HEG Ltd., Showa Denko K.K., Tokai Carbon Co. Ltd., and GrafTech International Ltd. Currently, these players are merging with and acquiring other companies to stay ahead of their competitors. For instance, in December 2019, Showa Denko K.K. completed the acquisition of Hitachi Chemical Ltd. for $8.8 billion. This acquisition aimed at consolidating the position of the former as a leading supplier of graphite to manufacturers of Li-ion batteries.

The type segment of the graphite market is divided into natural and synthetic. Under this segment, the synthetic graphite category held the larger market share in 2019, due to the largescale usage of synthetic graphite in the production of electrodes for electric arc furnaces, which are used to produce metallic products. The surging usage of synthetic graphite can be attributed to its ability to withstand extreme temperature and extensive shock and exhibit superior thermal expansion.

Furthermore, the application segment of the graphite market is categorized into lubricants, electrodes, refractories, batteries, foundries, graphite shapes, and friction products. Among these, the batteries category is expected to demonstrate the fastest growth throughout the forecast period. This will be due to the surging production of electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), especially in Europe and North America. Moreover, the booming demand for high-drain electronics, due to the soaring disposable income of people and escalating consumer expenditure, will also support the growth of the market in this category.

Geographically, Asia-Pacific held the largest share in the graphite market in 2019, due to the flourishing manufacturing sector and the increasing investments in the EV industry, in the region. In regional market, China generated the highest revenue in 2019, owing to the extensive production of crude steel and electric-arc-furnace-based steel in the country. Furthermore, the APAC market is also expected to witness the fastest growth during the forecast period, due to the largescale production of graphite electrodes in India and China.

Thus, the rising crude steel production and the escalating demand for Li-ion batteries will boost the demand for graphite, worldwide, in the coming years.
