By volume, Report Ocean estimated the Global Graphene Market size at 1.56 million metric tons in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the Global Graphene Market size by volume is projected to grow at a CAGR of 12.25% reaching the volume of 3.12 million metric tons by 2030. Graphene's popularity in electronics is attributed to its outstanding characteristics such as electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lightweight nature, and mechanical durability, rendering it suitable for managing high voltages. These distinctive properties position it as a highly significant material in the electronics domain, with expectations that it will serve as a seamless substitute for carbon nanotubes and silicon across various applications.
Opportunities - Research and Development Programs
Graphene functions as a highly responsive chemical sensor in electrolyte-gated arrangements, and its top-gate insulators, based on graphene, can be manufactured with a thickness ranging from 1 to 5 nm within an electrolyte at a concentration of a few millimolar. This capability outperforms the top-gate Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) utilizing Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). In the realm of photoelectric sensors, the market closely resembles substitutes for indium-tin-oxide (ITO) in transparent conductors. The combination of high electrical conductivity and transparency in graphene makes it an attractive option for creating transparent electrodes in photovoltaic cells and photoconductive sensors.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Global Graphene Market
Geopolitical tensions can have a multifaceted impact on the Global Graphene Market. The conflict arising from Russia's invasion of Ukraine has disrupted graphite production in Ukraine, a significant contributor to the global graphene market. With Ukraine being among the top five countries in graphite reserves, the war has forced the suspension of operations at key mines, hindering the global supply chain. Despite Ukraine's potential to reduce global reliance on China for graphite, the ongoing conflict poses challenges for the development of its graphite deposits. As the war persists, issues like supply chain disruptions, production halts, and transportation difficulties become prevalent, emphasizing the critical need for long-term supply security in the graphene industry.
