Additionally, they are leveraging various strategies to maintain their competitive edge, including innovations in product offerings, expanding production capacities, and forging strategic partnerships and alliances. For example, in June 2022, Mitsubishi Chemical Holdings Group (MCHG) enhanced its production capacity of natural graphite anode materials at its subsidiaries—Qingdao Lingda Kasei and Qingdao Anode Kasei—China. The production capacity was increased from 2,000 tons to 12,000 tons per year, with the expected commencement of operations of the new production line in the first half of the 2024 fiscal year. This expansion reflects the growing demand for high-quality graphite in the region.

The graphite market in the region is characterized by both production and imports. In 2022, Australia imported a total of US$ 919,000 worth of graphite, with the majority coming from China, which accounted for approximately ~US$ 305,000 of the imports. Other significant sources include Germany (US$ 243,000), Sri Lanka (US$ 166,000), the US (US$ 137,000), and New Zealand (US$ 25,900). This diverse range of import origins reflects Australia's reliance on varied suppliers to meet its graphite demands. Domestic graphite manufacturing is expected to grow further with the surging focusing on sustainable mining practices and expanding production initiatives to meet the increasing demand for battery-grade materials. The region's stable regulatory environment and advanced infrastructure further support its role as a key player in the global graphite market.

Asia Pacific Graphite Market Country Insights

Based on region, the Asia Pacific graphite market is further segmented into Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, India, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and New Zealand. China held the largest share in 2024.

According to the Center for Strategic & International Studies, China is the number one graphite producer in the world; it recorded an output of 850,000 tonnes in 2022 and accounted for two-thirds of the global mine supply.
