Increasing use of graphite in the automotive and battery industries is the major factor driving the<br />
demand for graphite. <strong>Graphite</strong> is an important material used in gaskets, clutch materials,<br />
motors, exhaust systems, and cylinder heads. In the past, asbestos was the main component of<br />
linings and disk brake pads. <strong>Graphite</strong>, with benefits such as low-noise braking, makes a good<br />
replacement for asbestos in brake pads. Moreover, it is an important element in the manufature<br />
of ultra-lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Traditionally, CFRP was mainly used<br />
in the aerospace and Formula One car industries. However, CFRP is now gaining popularity in<br />
the passenger car industry due to its light weight. This, in turn, helps reduce fuel consumption<br />
and CO2 emissions.<br />

Asia Pacific is the largest market for graphite globally. Rise of technologically advanced<br />
applications of graphite in pebble-bed nuclear reactors, fuel cells, solar power systems, and<br />
automotive and aerospace industries is driving the graphite market in the Asia Pacific region.<br />
China and India are the major markets for graphite in the region. Rising demand for steel and<br />
other metals has increased the demand for graphite electrodes in Asia Pacific. This, in turn, is<br />
driving the growth of the graphite market. China accounts for over 70% share of total graphite<br />
production in the world. According to China's Twelfth Five Year Plan, the government plans to<br />
have around 5.0 million battery-electric vehicles plying on the roads by 2020. This is expected to<br />
increase demand for graphite in the Asia Pacific market during the forecast period. According to<br />
a research report, the sale of plug-in electric vehicles in North America is expected to rise at a<br />
CAGR of 30.0% from 2012 to 2020. The total sales of tablets in the U.S. market grew from 9.7<br />
million in 2010 to 40.6 million in 2013. This growth in sales is expected to drive demand for<br />
lithium-ion batteries. Rising demand for electric vehicles and other electronic devices such as<br />
mobiles, tablets, laptops, and cameras offers huge potential for the growth of the lithium-ion<br />
battery industry. This, in turn, is further expected to boost demand for graphite in North America.<br />
Europe is the second-largest graphite market in the world. Growing use of carbon fiber instead<br />
of steel in the automotive and aerospace industries in Europe is leading to increasing demand<br />
for graphite. <strong>Graphite</strong> is considered as a key material for green technology. Due to this fact, it is<br />
widely used in many applications for energy storage, photovoltaics, and in various electronic<br />
products.<br />

The graphite market is bifurcated on the basis of form (natural graphite and synthetic graphite).<br />
Synthetic graphite is further sub-segmented on the basis of form (graphite electrode, carbon<br />
fiber, graphite blocks, graphite powder, and others). <strong>Graphite</strong> market is also segmented on the<br />
basis of end-use (electrode, refractory, lubricant, foundry, battery, and others). All the segments<br />
provide market size and forecast by volume and by value. The synthetic graphite segment holds<br />
the largest share of USD 12.49 billion in the graphite market in 2013 and is expected to reach<br />
USD 16.06 billion by 2020 at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2014 to 2020.<br />

Over the last decade, use of graphite in batteries has increased significantly. In terms of weight,<br />
graphite is the second-largest component in lithium-ion batteries. Each lithium-ion battery<br />
requires 10 to 20 times more graphite than lithium. According to an independent research firm,<br />
in 2012, around 80% of graphite used in batteries was for lithium-ion batteries. There has been<br />
a steady increase in the use of lithium-ion batteries in the automobile industry. For instance,<br />
Tesla Motors, Inc., an automotive company based in the U.S., has announced plans to invest<br />
USD 5 billion in a new lithium-ion battery factory. This is expected to increase demand for<br />
natural graphite by up to 37% by 2020. The factory is expected to start production by 2017.<br />
Moreover, the rapid increase in the use of lithium-ion batteries in smartphones, laptops, tablets,<br />
portable media players, and power tools is expected to further drive the graphite market.<br />
