概述
2023年全球石墨市场规模达238亿美元,预计2031年将达385亿美元,2024-2031年预测期间复合年增长率为6.2%。
用于各种工业应用的新型润滑油的开发和扩大生产将是增加需求的关键因素。人们正在研究石墨基复合材料的新改进,以提高下一代电动车电池的效率。
全球石墨市场的长期成长可能会因石墨生产集中在中国而受到阻碍。这已经让中国在影响全球市场方面获得了不适当的影响力,而中国的出口禁令可能会突然导致石墨供应普遍短缺。
动力学
电动车 (EV) 产量不断成长
我们预计慷慨的政府补贴和激励措施将加速电动车的采用和生产。 2022年,全球电动车产量首次突破1,000万辆。此外,许多汽车製造商正在考虑从 2035 年开始全面转向电动车。
鑑于其高能量密度和更长的使用寿命,锂离子仍然是电动车最受欢迎的电池化学材料。因此,石墨是生产锂离子电池电极最常用的材料。随着需求的成长,企业正在投资产能扩张,以提高电池材料的产量。
例如,2023年3月,美国电池工程公司ENTEK International宣布投资15亿美元在美国印第安纳州特雷霍特建设新电池材料工厂。
全球钢铁需求不断成长
根据OECD资料,2023年全球钢铁需求超过24.98亿吨,连续第三年成长。钢铁需求的激增主要是由于亚太地区工业化的不断发展、基础设施建设的不断发展以及消费者信心的改善,以及从COVID-19大流行中强劲復苏的背景下。
由于对未来需求的预期不断增强,印度等国家已在增加钢铁产能。例如,安赛乐米塔尔计划在2029年在印度西部的哈齐拉开设世界上最大的钢铁生产设施。 。
价格波动加剧
受供需不匹配、地缘政治发展、政府经济法规变化以及全球整体经济状况等因素影响,石墨生产的主要前驱材料针状焦价格近期波动增加。
原料价格的波动可能会给石墨生产商带来巨大的价格上涨压力。原物料价格的突然波动往往导致生产成本上升并侵蚀大多数生产商的利润率。为了抵消成本的增加,石墨生产商经常提高电极的价格,从而降低其在市场上的竞争力。
Overview
Global Graphite Market reached US$ 23.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 38.5 billion by 2031, growing with a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period 2024-2031.
The development and expanding production of new lubricants for various industrial applications will be a key factor in increasing the demand for . New improvements in graphite-based compound materials are being investigated for increasing the efficiency of the next generation of electric vehicle batteries.
The long term growth for the global graphite market could be potentially hampered by the concentration of graphite production in China. It has already given China undue leverage in influencing the global market and an export ban by China could suddenly lead to widespread shortfall in graphite supply.
Dynamics
Growing Production of Electric Vehicles (EVs)
We expect that generous government subsidies and incentives will accelerate the shift towards the adoption and production of electric vehicles. In 2022, global electric vehicle production surpassed 10 million units for the first time. Furthermore, many automotive manufacturers are contemplating a complete shift towards electric vehicles starting from 2035.
Lithium-ion remains the most preferred battery chemistry for EVs given their high energy density and longer operational lifespan. As such, graphite is the most favored material used of the production of electrodes in lithium-ion batteries. With rising demand, companies are investing in capacity expansion to ramp up production of battery materials.
For instance, in March 2023, ENTEK International, a U.S.-based battery engineering company announced a US$ 1.5 billion investment in building a new battery materials factory in Terre Haute, Indiana, U.S. The growth in EV production will spur the demand for graphite during the forecast period.
Rising Global Demand for Steel
According to OECD data, the global steel demand exceeded 2,498 million metric tons in 2023, topping off a third straight year of growth. The surge in steel demand is mainly due to growing industrialization of the Asia-Pacific, rising infrastructure development and improving consumer sentiment on the back of a stronger recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Countries such as India are already increasing the steel production capacity in growing anticipation of future demand. For instance, ArcelorMittal is planning to open the world's largest steel production facility at Hazira, in western India, by 2029. Modern electric steel furnaces utilize graphite electrodes, therefore, an increase in global steel demand will consequently raise the demand for graphite.
Increased Price Volatility
The price of the chief precursor material used in graphite production, needle coke has witnessed increased fluctuation in recent due to factors such as mismatched supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical developments, changes in government economic regulations and the overall global economic conditions.
Volatility in the prices of raw materials can create significant upward pricing pressures for graphite producers. Abrupt volatility in raw material prices has often resulted in higher production costs and erosion in the profit margins of most producers. To offset the increase in costs, graphite producers often raise the prices of electrodes, making them less competitive in the market.
The global graphite market is segmented based on type, application and region.
Automotive Battery Production will Account for a Major Market Share
Currently the biggest demand for graphite is for the production of graphite electrodes used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, mainly used as a power source in modern electric vehicles. New advancements in lithium-ion battery technology will further augment the demand for graphite.
For instance, by utilizing 15% of graphite with Ionisil in a water-based binder system, the resulting electrodes exhibit much higher conduction capacity as compared to a traditional electrode made from pure graphite. Such improvement in production capacity will further boost the adoption of electric vehicles.
Asia-Pacific to Garner the Largest Market Share
The electrification of passenger vehicles segment in China remains the chief factor behind the high share of Asia-Pacific in the global market. China has emerged as the largest manufacturer of electric vehicles globally, accounting for nearly 60% of the global production in 2022. The sale of new EVs in China has shot up by 82% in 2022 over the previous year. Many Chinese EV makers are currently looking for ways to increase their exports to new overseas markets.
Being the largest graphite producer grants China an inherent advantage in the race of passenger vehicle electrification. Most local manufacturers are also aided by lower energy costs and government subsidies. As Chinese EV makers have continued the development of new battery chemistries to improve the range and performance of the next generation of electric vehicles. A such, China will continue to generate a disproportionately large demand for graphite during the forecast period.
The pandemic created many challenges for the global graphite market. Due to a visible crash in demand from major end-user industries such as lubricant and battery manufacturers, the graphite market experienced a relatively steep decline during the early phase of the COVD-19 pandemic through 2020.
With the partial lifting of pandemic lockdown restrictions, many producers began to aggressively increase production in anticipation of a spike in demand. However, total demand recovery would not occur until early 2022, since lingering supply chain disruptions complicated the ability of manufacturers to fulfill the growing demand.
The Russia-Ukraine resulted in steep increase in energy prices, especially in Europe, creating an upheaval in the global graphite market. Therefore, China, which was the largest graphite producer before the war, further consolidated its position in the global market, as more companies exited European manufacturing operations.
The sanctions imposed on Russia also led to a collapse in exports of its graphite production. Many Russian graphite producers had to seek parallel export systems by relying on the international grey market. Many Russian graphite producers actually benefited due to the weakening of Russia's currency and a overall increase in global graphite prices.
The major global players in the market include GrafTech International, Graphite India Limited, Nippon Graphite Industries Co. Ltd, Tokai Carbon, HEG Limited, Energizer Resources Inc., Focus Graphite Inc.,Showa Denko K.K., Sangraf International and Amg Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V.
The global graphite market report would provide approximately 50 tables, 43 figures and 183 Pages.
