CAGR 3.7% and estimated value of USD 17.56 billion in 2020 by PMR”.
Increasing use of graphite in the automotive and battery industries is the major factor driving the
demand for graphite. Graphite is an important material used in gaskets, clutch materials,
motors, exhaust systems, and cylinder heads. In the past, asbestos was the main component of
linings and disk brake pads. Graphite, with benefits such as low-noise braking, makes a good
replacement for asbestos in brake pads. Moreover, it is an important element in the manufature
of ultra-lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Traditionally, CFRP was mainly used
in the aerospace and Formula One car industries. However, CFRP is now gaining popularity in
the passenger car industry due to its light weight. This, in turn, helps reduce fuel consumption
and CO2 emissions.

Asia Pacific is the largest market for graphite globally. Rise of technologically advanced
applications of graphite in pebble-bed nuclear reactors, fuel cells, solar power systems, and
automotive and aerospace industries is driving the graphite market in the Asia Pacific region.
China and India are the major markets for graphite in the region. Rising demand for steel and
other metals has increased the demand for graphite electrodes in Asia Pacific. This, in turn, is
driving the growth of the graphite market. China accounts for over 70% share of total graphite
production in the world. According to China's Twelfth Five Year Plan, the government plans to
have around 5.0 million battery-electric vehicles plying on the roads by 2020. This is expected to
increase demand for graphite in the Asia Pacific market during the forecast period. According to
a research report, the sale of plug-in electric vehicles in North America is expected to rise at a
CAGR of 30.0% from 2012 to 2020. The total sales of tablets in the U.S. market grew from 9.7
million in 2010 to 40.6 million in 2013. This growth in sales is expected to drive demand for
lithium-ion batteries. Rising demand for electric vehicles and other electronic devices such as
mobiles, tablets, laptops, and cameras offers huge potential for the growth of the lithium-ion
battery industry. This, in turn, is further expected to boost demand for graphite in North America.
Europe is the second-largest graphite market in the world. Growing use of carbon fiber instead
of steel in the automotive and aerospace industries in Europe is leading to increasing demand
for graphite. Graphite is considered as a key material for green technology. Due to this fact, it is
widely used in many applications for energy storage, photovoltaics, and in various electronic
products.

The graphite market is bifurcated on the basis of form (natural graphite and synthetic graphite).
Synthetic graphite is further sub-segmented on the basis of form (graphite electrode, carbon
fiber, graphite blocks, graphite powder, and others). Graphite market is also segmented on the
basis of end-use (electrode, refractory, lubricant, foundry, battery, and others). All the segments
provide market size and forecast by volume and by value. The synthetic graphite segment holds
the largest share of USD 12.49 billion in the graphite market in 2013 and is expected to reach
USD 16.06 billion by 2020 at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2014 to 2020.

Market Bytes:
Over the last decade, 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 use 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.
Asia-Pacific is the largest market for graphite globally. Rise of technologically advanced
