Releases New Report on the Global Graphite Market

Graphite is considered as one of the most versatile non-metallic minerals in the world. Graphite is a naturally formed polymer of carbon and an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. It has the highest natural strength and stiffness of any material. It maintains its stability and strength to temperatures in excess of 3,600°C and is very resistant to chemical attack. It is considered as one of the lightest of all reinforcing agents and has high natural lubricity. Owing to its unique properties it provides a range of uses in manufacturing and metallurgy. On traditional basis, the demand for graphite is essentially tied due to steel industry where it is widely used for crucibles, liner for ladles and refractories among many others. Moreover in automotive industry it is used as gaskets, clutch materials and brake linings. Additionally, it is also used in lubricants, reinforcements in plastics and batteries. On the other hand synthetic graphite have a purity of 99% carbon and is used in products where particularly pure material is required. The global graphite market has seen an enormous turnaround during the past two years as the demand for natural and synthetic graphite is increasing.

Graphite Market: Drivers & Restraints

Increasing graphite consumption in batteries (80% of the graphite used in batteries is consumed by lithium-ion batteries) is one of the major factor driving the growth in the global graphite market. Advancement in manufacturing goods shipment, increasing metallurgy and steelmaking activity along with rise in new technological advanced applications are the trends identified in the global graphite market. Push from the government towards go green side is also helping in increasing the degree of awareness among the end users. However, fluctuation in prices are the major setback for global graphite market.
