The semiconductor graphite market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.67 billion in 2024 to $1.8 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. Growth in the historic period was driven by increasing demand for high-performance semiconductors, expanded use of graphite in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and epitaxy processes, rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), greater utilization of graphite in silicon carbide (SiC) wafer production, and a growing need for effective thermal management solutions in electronic devices.
The semiconductor graphite market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.4 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be propelled by increased investments in 5G and advanced telecommunications infrastructure, the growing complexity of semiconductor manufacturing processes, rising production of compound semiconductors, expanded semiconductor fabrication capacity, and a stronger emphasis on sustainability and recyclability in semiconductor materials. Key trends anticipated include advancements in wafer processing technologies, greater integration of graphite components in SiC and GaN device fabrication, a shift toward 3D packaging and chip stacking, progress in plasma etching and high-temperature deposition systems, and innovations in synthetic and isostatic graphite materials.
The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to drive the expansion of the semiconductor graphite market in the coming years. EVs are vehicles that run wholly or partly on electricity instead of conventional internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. This growing shift toward electric vehicles is largely influenced by heightened environmental awareness, as both consumers and governments aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution by transitioning away from fossil fuel-powered transportation. Semiconductor graphite plays a critical role in EVs by offering high-purity, thermally conductive, and structurally stable materials necessary for optimal battery function and effective thermal management. For example, according to the International Energy Agency, an intergovernmental organization based in France, nearly 14 million new electric cars were registered globally in 2023, raising the total number of electric cars on the road to 40 million. This figure represents an increase of 3.5 million units compared to 2022, equating to a notable 35% year-over-year growth. As a result, the expanding use of electric vehicles is contributing significantly to the growth of the semiconductor graphite market.
Key players in the semiconductor graphite market are prioritizing the development of high-purity synthetic graphite to support advanced electronics and electric vehicle technologies. This form of synthetic graphite, characterized by over 99.9% carbon content and very low impurities, improves thermal and electrical performance as well as structural stability in semiconductors and EV batteries, promoting efficient and dependable operation. For instance, in July 2023, Mersen, an advanced materials company based in France, inaugurated its extensively upgraded manufacturing facility in Columbia, Tennessee. This facility is focused on producing synthetic graphite and insulation felt, which are essential for electric vehicles, semiconductors, and solar energy systems. The project involved a $70 million renovation, with an additional $25 to $30 million investment planned within the same year, aiming to significantly enhance Mersen’s production capabilities to accommodate the rising demand from global clean energy initiatives. The plant's current annual output includes 2,000 tons of isostatic graphite and 4,000 tons of extruded graphite, with plans to double isostatic graphite output to 4,000 tons by the end of 2024.
In July 2024, Mersen, a materials company headquartered in France, acquired Graphite Machining, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to bolster Mersen’s machining capabilities for isostatic and extruded graphite, as well as insulation materials, in the United States, thereby reinforcing its presence in core sectors such as aerospace, process industries, and energy. Graphite Machining, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in semiconductor graphite.
