The graphene market scale maintains rapid growth and the industry has a broad consumer market

Graphene is a new material in which carbon atoms connected by sp² hybridization are closely packed into a single-layer two-dimensional honeycomb lattice structure. It has excellent mechanical, electrical, thermal and optical properties and is considered a The revolutionary materials of the future.

There are various types of graphene, which can be divided into few-layer graphene, single-layer graphene, double-layer graphene and multi-layer graphene according to the number of layers; according to different functionalization forms, it can be divided into oxidized graphene, fluorinated graphene, hydrogenated graphene and Graphene, etc.; according to different external forms, they can be divided into graphene powder, graphene sheets, graphene films, etc.

The upstream of the graphene industry chain is the supply of raw materials and production equipment such as ethanol, methane, and natural graphite; the midstream is the production and manufacturing of various subdivided products; the downstream is widely used in chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery, electronic appliances, aerospace and other fields.

Natural graphite is the main raw material for graphene production. my country’s natural graphite reserves and output are among the best in the world, which can provide a solid resource foundation for the development of the graphene industry. In 2022, my country’s natural graphite output will be approximately 840,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of approximately 12%.

According to the “China Graphene Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, As my country’s economic and technological development level continues to improve, the scale of high-tech industries continues to expand, the application fields of graphene continue to expand, and the market size maintains rapid growth. In 2022, my country’s graphene market will exceed 33 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of approximately 26%.

my country’s graphene industry has developed rapidly driven by national policy support and downstream market demand. The number of production companies has continued to increase, production technology has continued to advance, and the industrial chain system has become increasingly perfect. A certain scale of industrial clusters has been formed in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other regions. , the industry is developing well. In recent years, governments at all levels have actively responded to the national call and issued a number of policies to encourage and support the development of the graphene industry and provide a good development environment for the industry. At present, the main domestic graphene production companies include Fangda Carbon New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Changzhou 2D Carbon Technology Co., Ltd., Silver-based Carbon New Materials Group Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Water New Materials Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that in the context of the continuous advancement of the construction of a scientific and technological power and the continuous development of new energy, electronic information materials and other high-tech industries , the graphene market demand will continue to grow, and the industry has a broad consumer market. As the research on graphene continues to deepen, its potential value will be gradually developed, its application fields will continue to expand, and the pace of industrial application will gradually accelerate. Domestic graphene production companies need to increase capital investment and research and development efforts, improve independent innovation capabilities, continuously improve and optimize production technology, reduce production costs, explore new application scenarios for products, and enhance their core competitiveness.
