Increasing use of graphite in the automotive and battery industries is the major factor driving the demand
for graphite. Graphite is an important material used in gaskets, clutch materials, motors, exhaust systems,
and cylinder heads. In the past, asbestos was the main component of linings and disk brake pads.
Graphite, with benefits such as low-noise braking, makes a good replacement for asbestos in brake pads.
Moreover, it is an important element in the manufature of ultra-lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic
(CFRP). Traditionally, CFRP was mainly used in the aerospace and Formula One car industries.
However, CFRP is now gaining popularity in the passenger car industry due to its light weight. This, in
turn, helps reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Asia Pacific is the largest market for graphite globally. Rise of technologically advanced applications of
graphite in pebble-bed nuclear reactors, fuel cells, solar power systems, and automotive and aerospace
industries is driving the graphite market in the Asia Pacific region. China and India are the major markets
for graphite in the region. Rising demand for steel and other metals has increased the demand for
graphite electrodes in Asia Pacific. This,...
