Market Overview:
The global flexible graphite market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for flexible graphite in oil and gas industry, nuclear industry, automotive gaskets, packing, and others. Additionally, the growing demand for electric vehicles is also contributing to the growth of the global flexible graphite market. However, volatility in prices of raw materials may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
A soft, black mineral consisting of carbon in the form of sheets or ribbons. It is used as a lubricant and an electrical conductor.
Flexible Graphite Sheet:
Flexible graphite sheet, also known as flexible graphene orffel is a two-dimensional sheets made of carbon. It has the ability to be rolled up into a cylinder and then bent, which allows it to fill in many different shapes including tubes and cylinders. The material has high electrical resistance and thermal conductivity due to its crystalline structure.
Flexible Graphite Foil:
Flexible graphite foil is a type of carbon material with an extremely high surface to volume ratio. It has excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical properties which make it suitable for use in various applications including semiconductors, electronics and energy storage. The product is manufactured by the method known as plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD).
Application Insights:
Oil and gas industry was the largest application segment in 2017, accounting for over 40% of the overall market. The product is used as a wear resistant lining in drilling pipes and production tanks to prevent corrosion and promote efficient heat transfer. It is also used as an insulation material within pipelines, which helps reduce energy consumption by increasing operating temperature of the pipeline system.
The product has high thermal conductivity that makes it suitable for use in nuclear reactors where high mechanical strength, excellent toughness, low permeability & higher thermal stability are required. In addition to being employed directly within nuclear reactors; flexible graphite products are also utilized indirectly via engineering services related to its utilization across various industries such as automotive gaskets & seals; oil & gas industry; power generation equipment; aerospace components etcetera.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region is home to several emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Growing population coupled with increasing living standards have spurred consumer spending on energy-efficient products such as building insulation materials and appliances; this trend is projected to positively impact product demand in APAC over the coming years.
North America was a significant contributor towards industry growth owing to high automotive production volumes across major countries including Mexico and Canada. In addition, growing oil & gas E&P activities in Mexico are likely to benefit market growth owing flexibility of graphite used for drilling fluids along with other applications such as chemical processing industries.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for flexible graphite in the automotive and aerospace industries due to its excellent thermal and electrical properties.
- Growing demand for graphene-based products as they are lighter, stronger and more conductive than traditional materials.
- Rising investment in research and development of new applications for flexible graphite across a range of industries.
- Increasing use of flexible graphite in lithium-ion batteries due to its high thermal stability and superior electrical conductivity.
