Synthetic Graphite to Remain the Dominant Segment:

- By type, synthetic graphite accounted for more than half of the global market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% through 2033. Its superior thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio, and excellent electrical properties make it highly suitable for advanced applications.

- Synthetic graphite plays a critical role in the aerospace industry, where it is used in aircraft brakes, heat shields, and rocket nozzles. It is also widely utilized in carbon brushes and electrical contacts for electric motors, generators, and power transmission systems across automotive, manufacturing, and renewable energy sectors.

Refractories Segment to Lead by Application:

- By application, the refractories segment dominated the graphite market and is projected to register a CAGR of 5.0% during the forecast period. Graphite is a key component in magnesia-carbon refractories, which offer excellent resistance to thermal shock and corrosion. These materials are extensively used in steelmaking operations, particularly in electric arc furnace linings and ladles.

- Graphite also plays a vital role in the production of carbon-based refractories such as graphite electrodes, which require exceptional electrical conductivity, thermal stability, and mechanical strength to withstand extreme furnace conditions.

Asia-Pacific to Maintain Market Leadership:

- Regionally, Asia-Pacific accounted for more than half of the global graphite market share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% through 2033. Rapid industrialization, expanding steel production, and accelerating EV adoption in China, India, Japan, and South Korea are key growth drivers.

- China, the world's largest producer and consumer of graphite, continues to see robust demand due to its dominant steel industry and widespread use of EAF technology. Meanwhile, Japan and South Korea remain major consumers, supported by strong electronics manufacturing, battery innovation, and clean energy initiatives.
