Some of the expandable graphite companies profiled in this report include SGL Group, NeoGraf Solution, HP Materials Solution Inc., Braide Graphite Group Co., Ltd., GEORG H. LUH GmbH, Qingdao Black Dragon Graphite Co., Ltd, Shijiazhuang ADT Carbonic Material Factory, and Yichang Xincheng Graphite.

Lucintel forecasts that flame retardant additives will remain the largest product form segment, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to stringency in building codes towards the use of flame retardants.

Consumer electronics will remain the largest end use industry. The chemical processing market is expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing global concern towards fire safety and energy efficiency in the chemical end use market.

APAC will remain the largest region, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to the government initiatives in China to mandate the use of fire retardant building materials for not only new building construction but also building renovation. Also, the Chinese government’s ban on traditional brominated flame retardants will further demand for environmentally safe expandable graphite.
