Pune, India, July, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Cooked Research Report on Global Graphite Market Research Report.
Market Insights:
The Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery industry is expanding saliently with a record level growth of more than 20% per annum. The demand for Li-ion batteries has intensified the demand for graphite as a key constituent which is poised to drive the global market growth for graphite. According to a report published by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global graphite market will grow moderately throughout the assessment period 2023 - 2032.
Graphite is used as an essential constituent in the production process across different industry verticals owing to its thermal stability, electrical conductivity, lubricating properties, etc. The widening range of applications for graphite in the production of brake lining, steel, lubricants, foundry facing, refractories, pencils, etc. is accelerating the demand for graphite globally.
Excessive exposure to graphite dust can cause a severe condition, Graphitosis, a form of pneumoconiosis. The strict laws enforced by governments for containing the excessive exposure of workers to graphite will hold the market growth mildly during the projection period.
Market Segmentation:
By form, the global graphite market is segmented into natural, and, synthetic. The synthetic segment accounted for the most significant share in 2014 and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the projection period.
By application, the global market for graphite has been segmented into electrode, refractory, lubricant, foundry, battery, and, others. The electrode segment will make maximum profits during the review period.
Regional Analysis:
By region, the global graphite market has been segmented into Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and, Middle East & Africa. North America is the most prominent market for graphite globally owing to high demand from end-user industries such as electronics, photovoltaic, etc. Graphite One and Alabama Graphite have undertaken the initiative of turning graphite concentrate into CPSG for capitalizing the opportunities unfolded by Li-ion battery market which is one of the critical drivers of the market.
