High purity graphite is the most stable form of carbon and is primarily being used in setting the benchmark for defining how carbon compounds are formed during the application of heat. High purity graphite is primarily being used in aviation, electronic, metallurgy, atomic energy, chemical, mechanical, and nuclear energy, among other fields. The carbon content in the high purity graphite is more than 99.99%. High-purity graphite can also be pided in nuclear graphite, coarse-grain graphite, space graphite, and fine-grain graphite (maximum grain diameter is less than 0.075mm.
In terms of value, the global high purity graphite market was valued at US$ 7,499.6 Mn in 2018 and in terms of volume, the market was 361.1 Kilo Tons (KT) in 2018, and is expected to grow with a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The market is witnessing high demand for high purity graphite owing to its various industrial uses. It is mined in several countries, but the major exporter is China, which exports more graphite than the world's other major graphite-mining countries.
