GRAPHITE GRANULAR AND POWDER MARKET OVERVIEW

Global graphite granular and powder market size was projected at USD 0.2 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to reach USD 0.22 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 1.8% during the forecast period. 

Graphite granular and powder refer to different forms of graphite, a crystalline form of carbon. Graphite is known for its unique properties, including its ability to conduct electricity, high thermal stability, and lubricating qualities. Both graphite granular and powder forms have applications in industries such as metallurgy, foundry, lubrication, electronics, and coatings. The choice between the two depends on the specific requirements of the application, including particle size, conductivity, and other material properties.

The Graphite Granular and Powders market has been experiencing steady growth in recent years. The expanding electronics sector and the increasing demand for energy storage solutions, such as batteries, contribute to the growth of the graphite market. Graphite is a crucial component in lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. 

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Faced a Fall in Demand Due to Supply Chain Disruptions During the Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the Graphite Granular and Powder market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains due to lockdowns, restrictions on movement, and closures of manufacturing facilities. This impacted the production and distribution of graphite products, potentially leading to delays and shortages.

GRAPHITE GRANULAR AND POWDER MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

According to type, the market can be segmented into natural type and synthetic type.

In terms of service, natural type is the largest segment. Natural type is often preferred for applications that require high thermal conductivity and lubrication. It is commonly used in refractories, foundry facings, lubricants, and in the production of batteries. 

By Application

Based on application, the market can be divided into refractory materials, metallurgy, graphite parts, batteries, and other.

In terms of services, metallurgy is the largest segment. Graphite granular and powder can be used in refractory applications due to the unique properties of graphite. 

DRIVING FACTORS

Electric Vehicle (EV) Market Growth to Increase Demand in the Market

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles and the growth of the electric vehicle market drive the demand for graphite, particularly in the production of lithium-ion batteries. Graphite is a critical component in the anodes of these batteries. Rising awareness of environmental issues, particularly related to air pollution and climate change, has led to a shift toward cleaner and more sustainable transportation options. Electric vehicles produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, making them attractive to environmentally conscious consumers. The combination of these factors has led to a positive momentum in the electric vehicle market, with an increasing number of consumers, businesses, and governments embracing electric mobility as a key component of a sustainable transportation future.

Growth of Steel and Foundry Industries to Influence the Demand in the Market

Graphite is widely used in the steel and foundry industries for its high-temperature resistance and lubricating properties. As these industries grow, the demand for graphite in various forms, including granules and powder, tends to increase. The growth of the steel and foundry industries has a significant impact on the demand for graphite granular and powder. Graphite is used in various forms in these industries due to its unique properties that make it suitable for high-temperature applications and as a lubricating material. Graphite is used in the production of ductile iron. The presence of graphite in nodular or spheroidal form within the iron matrix imparts ductility to the material, making it suitable for a range of applications. In this way this factor resulted in Graphite Granular and Powder market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Limited Graphite Reserves lead to a Declining Trend in the Market 

Graphite is sourced from natural deposits, and the availability of high-quality graphite reserves is limited. This can lead to concerns about the long-term sustainability of graphite supply, especially as demand increases. As a consequence, there will be a declining trend in the market.
