ARTIFICIAL GRAPHITE POWDER MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global artificial graphite powder market size was USD 7.623 billion in 2024 & the market is expected to reach USD 27.45 billion in 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 15.3% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with artificial graphite powder market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Artificial graphite powder refers to a type of graphite material that is produced synthetically rather than naturally occurring. Graphite is a form of carbon with a unique layered structure that provides it with excellent properties such as high thermal and electrical conductivity, lubricity, and chemical stability.

Artificial graphite powder is typically manufactured by graphitizing various carbonaceous materials, such as petroleum coke or coal tar pitch, through a high-temperature process called graphitization. The raw materials undergo treatment at temperatures above 2,500 degrees Celsius, causing the carbon atoms to rearrange into a highly ordered crystalline structure. This process removes impurities and transforms the carbon into a graphite-like material. The artificial graphite powder market is driven by its demand in industries such as lithium-ion batteries, automotive, aerospace, metallurgy, and electronics.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Market"

The pandemic led to disruptions in global supply chains, including the graphite industry. Restrictions on movement and transportation, lockdown measures, and reduced workforce in manufacturing facilities affected the production and distribution of graphite powder. The economic slowdown caused by the pandemic resulted in reduced demand for artificial graphite powder. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and steel production, which are major consumers of graphite materials, experienced a decline in production and consumption. This, in turn, impacted the demand for graphite powder. The disruptions in supply and demand dynamics caused by the pandemic may have resulted in price fluctuations for graphite powder. The availability of raw materials, manufacturing constraints, and changing market conditions could have impacted the pricing of graphite products.
