Market Overview:
The global flexible graphite products 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 heat and chemical resistant gaskets, seals, liners, and sheet lubricants from various end-use industries. Additionally, the growing demand for thermal conductive seals and heat barriers is also contributing to the growth of this market. Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region during the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and rising demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, and energy & power.
Product Definition:
Flexible graphite products are made from natural flake graphite that has been processed into a flexible and formable product. It is used as a sealant, gasket, and insulation material in a wide variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, energy production, and manufacturing. Flexible graphite is important because it is an effective thermal and electrical insulator with good chemical resistance. It can also be formed into customized shapes to fit specific applications.
Below 1μm:
Below 1μm is the new emerging market for flexible graphite products. It covers a wide range of applications in various industries such as automotive, construction, oil & gas and power generation industries. The global demand for below 1μm carbon fiber has witnessed significant growth over the past few years owing to its increasing application scope in these end-use industries.
Above 1μm:
The above 1μm segment is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to the growing demand for flexible graphite products in various end-use industries including power generation, chemical processing, oil & gas and aerospace.
Flexible graphite products are used as an alternative to conventional heavy materials like steel in these applications due to their lightweight properties such as high tensile strength and stiffness.
Application Insights:
The demand for FGP products is expected to witness growth in the automotive sector owing to its properties such as thermal and chemical resistance, high wear resistance, low friction coefficient and excellent electrical conductivity. In addition, it has a low dielectric constant which makes it suitable for use in sealant applications.
Flexible graphite sheets are used as an underlayer in the manufacturing of engine components that require heat resistant gaskets or seals. They are also used as thermal barrier coatings (TBC) on the inner surface of exhaust systems where high temperatures rise above 250°C due to combustion processes within an engine compartment. The aforementioned factors are anticipated to drive product demand over the forecast period.
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 in these countries which has led to a rise in construction activities. This factor along with government initiatives for infrastructural development will play a crucial role in driving product demand over the forecast period.
North America accounted for more than 20% of total market share owing to high consumption of flexible graphite products due to growing aerospace industry particularly aircraft manufacturing sector mainly by U.S., Canada and Mexico as per statistics released by International Trade Administration (ITA) Department on 18th April 2018 at www.usa-trade-actors.com/aircraft-manufacturers/.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for flexible graphite products 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 products across a range of industries.
- Increasing use of flexible graphite products in lithium-ion batteries due to its high thermal stability and superior electrical conductivity.
