Read the definitive report on the global natural graphite industry, its markets and its future
Recovery in graphite production
China is the principle graphite producer, accounting for 40% of the world' s output during recent years and 50% of amorphous production in
2000. India is another leading producer, accounting for 15% of world production over the last decade. The other majors are Brazil (7%), Mexico (6%)
and North Korea (6%) Thus, five countries account for 75% of world production.
Given favourable market conditions, production may increase in the future, particularly from Brazil, Canada, China, India and Mexico. New
production capacity of 120,000tpa could be added, around half of which could be destined for battery-making. Successful exploration, mine expansions
and company acquisitions are expected to result in increased graphite output in the coming decade, provided that markets can be developed to sustain
the new production. This new capacity would replace the " loss" of 100Ktpa flake graphite production resulting from project failures
and expected mine closures.
The key trends, issues and developments in the market are now analysed in this major new report from Roskill. It provides a clear insight into all
