According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global expandable graphite market looks promising with opportunities in the building & construction, consumer electronics, and chemical processing industries. The global expandable graphite market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% from 2019 to 2024. The major drivers for this market are stringency in fire safety standards in the building and construction industry, growing demand for non- halogenated flame retardants, and growth in the consumer electronics market.

In this market, expandable graphite is used for manufacturing of flame retardant additives, foil, paper, and sheets for the various end use industries to provide conductivity and flame retardant properties. Lucintel forecasts that flame retardant additives will remain the largest segment and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to stringency in building codes towards the use of flame retardants.

Within the expandable graphite market, building and construction will remain the largest end use industry and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to increasing global concern towards the fire safety and energy efficiency in residential and commercial buildings.

APAC will remain the largest region and it is also expected to witness highest growth over the forecast period due to the government initiatives in China to mandate the use of fire retardant building materials for not only new building construction but also for building renovation. Also, the Chinese government’s ban on traditional brominated flame retardants will further demand for environmentally safe expandable graphite.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include development of graphene from expandable graphite for next generation battery chemistry and boron coated expandable graphite. SGL Group, NeoGraf Solution, HP Materials Solution Inc., Braide Graphite Group Co., Ltd., GEORG H. LUH GmbH, Qingdao Black Dragon Graphite Co., LTD, Shijiazhuang ADT Carbonic Material Factory, and Yichang Xincheng Graphite are among the major expandable graphite manufacturers.
