Graphite is manufactured synthetically using carbon containing raw materials such as tar pitch and petroleum coke. The demand for natural graphite is directly proportional to the growth of the industrial applications, including lubrication, refractories, battery production, and foundry. The refractories segment account for the highest share of around 35.1% in the global graphite market, and is expected to remain a dominant application for consumption of natural graphite throughout the forecast period.
The global graphite market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region. Depending on type, the market is bifurcated into natural graphite and synthetic graphite. The natural graphite segment is further sub-categorized into flake graphite, amorphous graphite, and vein graphite. The synthetic graphite segment is further classified into graphite electrode, graphite block, carbon fiber, graphite powder, and others. Based on application, the global graphite market is segmented into lubrication, refractories, foundry, battery production, and others. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Executive Summary
According to the report titled, 'Graphite Market by Type and Application:Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2027', the graphite market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $21.6 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% from 2020 to 2027.Similar to diamond, graphite is an allotrope of carbon that portrays a hexagonal crystalline form and is black or gray in color. Graphite furnishes high thermal resistance with a melting point of around 3,930°C. It is the most electrically and thermally conductive non‐metal and an efficient lubricant. Graphite is chemically inert in nature and has a high resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, graphite offers several advantages such as higher operating reliability, high conductivity, higher strength, and higher lubrication.The global graphite market is primarily driven by high demand for Lithium ion battery across the globe to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. Moreover, significant steel production through electric arc furnace, which is made up of graphite electrode fuels the growth of the graphite market during the forecast period. However, increased export duty on graphite in China and decreasing price trend of natural graphite are expected to hinder the market growth. Moreover, growing usage in green technologies and mergers & acquisitions in the market are anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for the key players during the forecast period.
On the basis of type, synthetic graphite was the major revenue contributor in 2019 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in demand from the steel and battery industry.
On the basis of application, the refractories segment dominated the global graphite market by accounting for the highest revenue in the year 2019. This is attributed to increase in demand from the steel industry as graphite electrode is increasingly used in the electric arc furnace steel making.
On the basis of region, the graphite market size is analyzed across four major regions, which include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific accounted for the dominant graphite market share in 2019 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to numerous factors such as huge consumer base and presence of key players in the region. In addition, more than 40% of the total market share in terms of value is from the highest graphite production countries such as China, India, and Japan.
