Graphene Market Dynamics

Increasing applications of graphene in the energy and storage industry and growing R&D activities and large graphite reserves are key drivers for the market growth globally. The emerging trends in portable and wearable electronics promote the design of flexible energy storage systems. Flexible supercapacitors and batteries as promising energy storage devices have attracted tremendous attention. Graphene is the best material for flexible energy storage systems owing to its properties such as large surface area, good thermal and chemical stability, high conductivity, and mechanical flexibility.

Growing R&D activities and large graphite reserve is the other crucial driver for the growth of the market. The industry is at its promising stage of commercialization. Therefore, more than 75% of the graphene was used for research & development and prototype preparation by research institutes, universities, and research & development, in 2017. Major companies in the world such as Nokia, Samsung, Intel, IBM, and others are making investments in Graphene-based energy storage systems. In 2021, Chinese coke company Baotailong New Materials had completed construction of a $9.6 million graphene production project in the north of the country and had launched trial-stage operations. Thus, the increasing investments and collaborations of major companies will boost the market in the future.

High capital investment and stringent environmental regulations are hindering market growth worldwide. There are many graphene production companies in the world. But the production of graphene is relatively small, and prices are very high due to the expensive production process. 

Additionally, High price of equipment and technical limitations for commercial production are the major factors restricting the market growth. Further, Companies are hindered by high costs and first-stage technology for producing graphene in mass quantity.

Market segments

Based on type, the global market for Graphene is broadly segmented as monolayer graphene, few-layer graphene, multi-layer graphene, graphene nanoplatelets (gnp), and others. Graphene Nano Platelets (GNP) market was valued at $25.85 million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2029 with a CAGR of 31.71% during the forecast period 2022 to 2029 The mass production of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is possible through the exfoliation of flake graphite in the tricomponent system made by the combination of ammonium persulfate, concentrated sulfuric acid, and fuming sulfuric acid. 

Graphene Nanoplatelets consist of small stacks of graphene that can replace other compounds in many composite applications. The material can also be used as catalyst support for oxygen reduction reaction in proton exchange membrane fuel cell after chemical doping with nitrogen. In March 2021, Gratomic Inc. and Perpetuus Carbon Technologies Ltd. announced the formation of a joint venture for the purpose of completing a study that would determine the optimum method to produce graphene nanoplatelets from mined graphite provided by Gratomic Inc.

On the basis of application, it is categorized into electronics, energy & storage, bio-medical, composites, and others. Global Graphene market for Electronic applications was valued at $12.72 million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ YY million by 2029 with a CAGR of 31.41% during the forecast period 2022 to 2029 Graphene is widely used in the electronics industry for various applications including field-effect transistors, wearable devices, transparent conductive films, biosensors, and electrochemical sensors. Graphene has several useful properties that include high mechanical strength, very high electron mobility, and superior thermal conductivity. Graphene has high mechanical and electrical stability under high-bending deformation. Thus, it is suitable for flexible hybrid structures, such as field emission devices, pressure sensors, biochemical sensors, and battery electrodes.

Graphene Market Geographical Share

The global Graphene market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa.

Among all regions, Asia-Pacific holds the largest market share followed by North America with 40% and 26% of the total market respectively. The Asia-Pacific Graphene market value was $17.94 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $ YY million by 2029 with a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period 2022 to 2029 Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period, 2021-2025.  The driving factors of the Asia-Pacific market include the presence of large graphite mines in China, ongoing research on graphene in India, China, Japan, Korea, & Taiwan, and huge scope in electronics applications in this region.
