In 2026, global natural graphite production is expected to increase further by 25.1% to 2,122.9kt, supported by continued expansion in Mozambique, China, and Madagascar. Mozambique is expected to remain the largest driver of incremental growth, with output rising to 401.4kt on the back of the continued ramp-up of the Balama and Nipepe projects. China’s production, after remaining largely flat in 2025, is projected to recover in 2026 and reach 1,357.4kt, supported by the scheduled commissioning of China Minmetals’ Yunshan mine and stable output from existing mines.
