Dublin, June 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Graphite Market 2024-2035" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Graphite is used across multiple industries such as automotive, steel-making, powder metallurgy, fuel cells, and flame retardants. Graphite is a critical raw material for the green transition and demand is increasing in markets including electric vehicles and green energy storage.
Huge growth in the electric vehicle sector has driven the industry's graphite requirements as various widely-used lithium-ion batteries - from LFP to NCM cathodes - use graphite anodes. Both natural and synthetic graphite play a key role in the electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) markets. Each battery anodes contains 50-100kg, with both synthetic and natural graphite. Synthetic graphite dominates this market, but in recent years non-Chinese product developers have been altering chemistries in an bid to lower emissions and meet tighter ESG standards.
China is the world's number one producer and consumer of graphite, accounting for 60% of global natural flake supply, 99% of uncoated spherical graphite and over 90% of natural anode, but the United States is making major funding available for graphite production in the US.
