Persistence Market Research Released New Market Report “Global Graphite Market is estimated to
grow US$17.5 bn by 2020”, This comprehensive research report gives a 360-degrree view of the market
dynamics and trends in the global graphite market. Along with presenting key insights, the report offers a
SWOT analysis and a Porter’s five forces analysis of the overall market. According to the research report,
the global graphite market was valued at US$13.6 bn in 2013 and is estimated to reach US$17.5 bn by
2020, growing at a CAGR of 3.70% from 2014 to 2020.
The global market for graphite is experiencing acceleration due to growing usage of graphite in the
battery and automotive industry. Graphite is mainly used for making clutch materials, gaskets, exhaust
systems, motors, and cylinder heads. Graphite has slowly replaced asbestos, which was used for linings
in vehicles and for disk brake pads. The biggest advantage of graphite is that it creates less noise while
braking. Furthermore, graphite is also an important material used in the production of extremely
lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), which is mainly used by the aerospace industry and
makers of Formula One cars. In recent times, graphite has also been in great demand in the passenger
car industry as it reduces the weight of the vehicle, thereby resulting in less fuel consumption and CO2
emissions.

Market History:
Over the last decade, the use of graphite in batteries has increased significantly. In terms of weight,
graphite is the second-largest component in lithium-ion batteries. Each lithium-ion battery requires 10 to
20 times more graphite than lithium. According to an independent research firm, in 2012, around 80% of
graphite used in batteries was for lithium-ion batteries. There has been a steady increase in the popularity
of lithium-ion batteries in the automobile industry. For instance, Tesla Motors, Inc., an automotive
company based in the U.S., has announced plans to invest USD 5 billion in a new lithium-ion battery
factory. This is expected to increase demand for natural graphite by up to 37% by 2020. The factory is
expected to start production by 2017. Moreover, the rapid increase in the use of lithium-ion batteries in
Smartphones, laptops, tablets, portable media players, and power tools is expected to further drive the
graphite market.
In terms of revenue, Asia Pacific was the largest market for graphite in 2013, accounting for 67.4% of the
global market share, followed by Europe and North America with market shares of 14.1% and 10.4%
respectively. From 2014 to 2020, the Asia Pacific graphite market is expected to grow at a CAGR 4.0%,
owing to increasing demand from countries such as India and China. Increasing the use of graphite in the
automotive industry is also expected to propel the growth of the Asia Pacific market. The market share of

Forecast to 2020
North America is expected to decrease to 10.3% while that of Europe is expected to increase to 14.2% by
2020.
The graphite market is bifurcated on the basis of form (natural graphite and synthetic graphite), form of
synthetic graphite (graphite electrode, carbon fiber, graphite blocks, graphite powder, and others), and
end use (electrode, refractory, lubricant, foundry, battery, and others).
In terms of revenue, the synthetic graphite segment accounted for the largest market share of USD 12.49
billion in 2013 and is expected to reach USD 16.06 billion in 2020 at a CAGR of 3.7% for the period
2014–2020.
Under the synthetic graphite segment, the graphite electrode segment (the largest segment in 2013)
increased by 3.0% CAGR during 2010 – 2013 to reach USD 5.06 billion in 2013.
Under the regional segment, the Asia Pacific graphite market (the largest market in 2013) increased by
3.8% CAGR during 2010–2013 to reach USD 9.17 billion in 2013.
Some of the major companies operating in the global graphite market are Triton Minerals Ltd., Lamboo
