Global Graphite Market 2017-2021 - Rising Use of Graphite for Aerospace Applications & Manufacturing Structural Composite Parts - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Global Graphite Market 2017-2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global graphite market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.51% during the period 2017-2021.

The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is the increasing application of graphite in the automotive sector. Graphite is widely used as a substitute for asbestos in various automotive applications such as brake linings and gaskets. It is an important material used in a variety of automotive parts such as gaskets, motors, clutch materials, exhaust systems, and cylinder heads. It is one of the key components of brushes in electric motors.

One of the major drivers for this market is the rising use of graphite for aerospace applications and for manufacturing structural composite parts used in aircraft. Graphite is widely used in aerospace applications. The aerospace industry requires components that are durable, adhere to safety norms, and withstand extreme environmental conditions. It (graphite) is used on surface tiles used in space shuttles, cryogenic applications, and nuclear technology (as a neutron moderator). It is used in aircraft structural components such as control surfaces, fairings, internal structures, and landing gears to reduce the weight of selected metal parts.

Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is the recent slowdown in steel industry in APAC. This slowdown in the steel industry is attributed to the gradual decline in the Chinese economy.
