Will graphite grow in the battery industry?
“The baton for graphite growth will really pass to the battery sector where anode material will drive a second rapid growth phase for this industry,” Montgomery said. S&P forecasts graphite demand from the battery sector to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 26% between now and 2028.
Is graphite a 'critical mineral' for a lithium-ion battery?
It’s been another year to forget for lithium but spare a thought for long-suffering graphite. Despite being touted as one of the “critical minerals” essential for the energy transition, specifically lithium-ion batteries, graphite prices are currently at eight-year lows. Like rare earths, China controls around 98% of the graphite market.
Why are graphite prices so high?
“Natural graphite prices have been coming under intense pressure from unrelenting competition from the synthetic graphite sector, with massive capacity increases in China and price cutting for market share, making it incredibly difficult for natural graphite producers to compete in the market,” she said on a webinar.
What happened to battery metal prices in 2022?
Turmoil in battery metal markets led the cost of Li-ion battery packs to increase for the first time in 2022, with prices rising to 7% higher than in 2021. However, the price of all key battery metals dropped during 2023, with cobalt, graphite and manganese prices falling to lower than their 2015-2020 average by the end of 2023.
Why is graphite a challenge in the graphic market?
Exponential growth from the electric vehicle sector has propelled the industry’s graphite requirements and created challenges for in the graphic market. Various widely-used lithium-ion batteries – from LFP to NCM cathodes – use graphite anodes.
Is the graphite market a bright spot?
“The one bright spot in the market has been Europe, where the graphite market has enjoyed price premiums this year, reflecting geopolitical concerns and higher freight rates and indicating an emergence of ex-China market premiums, which is something that the market has really been looking for, so this is a positive development.
