What are the Key Drivers to the Flake Graphite Market Share
One of the significantly important driving factors in the flake graphite marketplace is the increasing production of batteries. As it is largely consumed in the production of electrodes, the demand for flake graphite is witnessing a significant upsurge. With a relatively higher purity among all forms of graphite, the use of flake graphite makes the downstream process efficient for battery producers as fewer impurities are to be eliminated.
Further, the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles across geographies and vehicle types is simultaneously driving the demand for batteries, resulting in indirect effects on the flake graphite market. Flakes of graphite are also used in several anti-corrosion paints as well as in fireproofing fillers.
The mining and metal processing industry is noted to experience swift growth in the coming future, propelling the demand for refractories and hence, having an indirect impact on the flake graphite market as well. With large-scale volumes being procured by refractory manufacturers, it is anticipated that the application will remain one of the most significant ones in the short-term forecast period.
The market penetration of the synthetic counterparts to flake graphite products is showing its impact on the overall market. Though being inexpensive than synthetic graphite, the flake graphite market is at a disadvantage considering certain factors. In terms of performance and other product features, the synthetic graphite product is noted to have an edge over the natural flake graphite.
Rising environmental concerns pertaining to the mining activities of flake graphite are likely to affect the supplier's overall output. This can act in favour of synthetic graphite as the end consumers will incline toward the most readily available substitute products in the market.
With synthetic graphite expanding at a faster pace, it is expected that in the overall demand for graphite, the two products will account for a nearly equivalent proportion in the long-term forecast period, implying that the demand for flake graphite might witness a slack over the same period of time.
Additionally, it is also found that since flake size, as well as purity, are the two price-affecting factors, for an equivalent amount of amorphous and flake graphite product forms, amorphous graphite is priced nearly four times cheaper than the flake graphite products. This impact of this factor is notably minimized due to the better product quality and relatively higher purity of flake graphite in the marketplace.
The end-user consumption pattern is largely dependent on the purity and flake size. For instance, refractory manufacturers are very particular about the flake size used in the production of refractories. Also, certain manufacturers are noted to initiate custom manufacturing of flake graphite products on an order basis in order to cater to the specific demands.
Which Region holds the Highest Growth Potential in the Flake Graphite Market
On a regional front, large-scale flake graphite is noted to be produced in countries such as China, Australia, Brazil, and other African countries. While the consumption of flake graphite is observed to remain prominent globally considering the widespread industrial applications, its international trade is anticipated to expand with a steady growth rate.
Particularly, flake graphite consumption is highly prevalent in the East Asian countries because of the abundance of battery manufacturers operating in this region.
