The World Market for Graphene
Future Markets, Inc, Oct 2011, Pages: 67
Graphene has moved swiftly from the research laboratory to the marketplace, driven by demand from markets where advanced materials are required. These include the aerospace, automotive, electronics, energy storage, solar, oil service, and lubricant sectors. The distinctive electronic, thermal and mechanical properties of graphene make it a potentially disruptive technology across a raft of industries. In 2010, there were over 400 patents issued on graphene and 3,000 research papers published. The European Union is funding a 10 year 1,000 million euro coordination action on graphene. South Korea is set to spend $350 million on commercialization initiatives and the United Kingdom has announced investment of £50million in a new commercialization hub.
Applications will be coming onto the market soon for highly conductive and super strong composites, transparent conductive coatings in touch-screen displays, photodiodes and high frequency transistors. Graphene-based conducting inks are also finding their way into smart cards and radio-frequency identification tags. In the past 18 months market demand has increased by over 4,000% for these materials.
Most graphene manufacturers currently produce graphene nanoplatelets and graphene oxide and plan to scale-up production considerably over the next 18 months. Producers are generally small, start-up companies who have witnessed an explosion in demand for their materials from a variety of industries. Multi-national companies such as IBM and Samsung are aggressively pursuing applications for graphene in electronics and optics. However, most near-term demand is for composites and electrodes for application in the automotive, plastics, metals, aerospace and energy markets.
