Report Synopsis
Graphite is a naturally-occurring form of crystalline carbon that is a native mineral element found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. This element can be termed a mineral of extremes, in that it is outstandingly soft, cleaves with the minimum of pressure and has a very low specific gravity. Graphite also has exceptional resistance to heat and is virtually inert in contact with almost any other material. Due to these extreme properties, this versatile element finds a wide range of applications in the metallurgical and electrical sectors, among others.

The global outbreak of Covid-19 or the novel coronavirus has had a profound impact on the commodities market, of which graphite, too, is a part. China, the world’s largest producer of graphite accounting for over 70% of the global total, is where this pandemic reared its ugly head and impacted production to a large extent.

The global value market for Graphite by application is the largest for Metallurgy, estimated at US$7.9 billion (37.3% share) in 2019, which is projected to reach US$10.2 billion by 2026 at a CAGR of 3.8% between the two years. The global volume market for Graphite in Electrical Applications is likely to record the fastest similar period CAGR of 4.5% bet ween 2019 and 2026.
