Key Market Trends

Eco-friendly Tech & Graphite Processing Innovation is reshaping the sector. Companies like EcoGraf are commercializing HFfree® purification techniques that avoid toxic chemicals—crucial for graphite battery applications. This aligns with growing environmental scrutiny around traditional carbon graphite processing.

In May 2025, EcoGraf secured a second patent for this method, applicable across battery-grade graphite, graphite paper, and recycled anode materials—opening doors to graphite AI-driven sustainable solutions.

Electric Vehicles & Battery Boom

The shift to carbon-neutral mobility is accelerating graphite demand. Each EV battery contains 50–100 kg of graphite—either natural graphite or synthetic graphite (such as graphite black and graphite grey grades). The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports EV battery demand exceeded 950 GWh in 2024, pushing total global consumption over 1 TWh.

Major players like Callaway and ASICS also incorporate graphite shaft materials in high-performance products, showcasing graphite’s versatility beyond batteries.
