The use of graphite in the production of Li-ion batteries presents a significant growth opportunity for the global market. As the automotive industry strives to reduce emissions and transition away from fossil fuels, the demand for electric vehicles is expected to soar. The report highlights that the batteries segment is projected to register a remarkable CAGR of 14.1% between 2021 and 2025. With global Li-ion battery production expected to reach 1,500 GWh by 2025, the demand for graphite—an essential anode material in Li-ion batteries—is set to surge. Graphite is utilized in various types of batteries, including lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium manganese oxide (LMO), and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. 

The growing demand for steel across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and electronics is expected to drive the global graphite market, and Latin America stands to benefit during the forecast period. Graphite plays a vital role in electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, which accounts for a significant share of the steelmaking industry. EAF technology is recognized for its carbon-neutral and environmentally friendly approach to steel production. High-purity graphite electrodes are used in steel manufacturing activities with EAF technology every 8-10 hours. Consequently, the demand for graphite in steel and metallurgical applications, including recarburizers, electrodes, refractories, foundries, and friction production, is expected to witness substantial growth. These sectors collectively account for approximately 65% of the total graphite market. 

As of 2019, the Asia Pacific graphite market held a significant share of 55% in the global market. China played a dominant role in this region, and it is expected to maintain its position throughout the forecast period. China's efforts to increase steel production with EAF mills will drive the demand for graphite electrodes. Additionally, ongoing government initiatives for vehicle electrification will contribute to the demand for Li-ion batteries, further benefiting the graphite market in Japan, China, and India. These countries are poised to lead the way for the Asia Pacific graphite market between 2021 and 2025. 

Furthermore, increased investments in e-mobility infrastructure and the promotion of electric vehicles will be key drivers for the graphite market in Europe and North America. Companies in these developed regions will focus on integrating the graphite supply chain to meet the growing demand for graphite anodes in the battery sector. These factors are expected to positively impact the graphite market in Europe and North America. 

Key players in the graphite market, such as Shenzhen BTR New Materials, Nacional de Grafite, Showa Denko Materials Co. Ltd., Shanshan Technology, Qingdao Haida Graphite Co., Ltd., and Aoyu Graphite Group, collectively hold approximately 50% market share.
