The BRICS Graphite Market size is expected to reach US$ 23.94 billion by 2031 from US$ 10.29 billion in 2024. The market is estimated to record a CAGR of 12.8% from 2025 to 2031.
The BRICS graphite market (South Africa, Brazil, Russia, India, and China) is poised for significant growth, driven by its increasing demand across several key applications: batteries, lubricants, refractories, and friction products. Graphite is essential in lithium-ion batteries used in EVs and consumer electronics. China is leading the charge in production and consumption due to its abundance of resources and its dominance in the EV and battery industries. As India and Brazil invest in renewable energy and transportation infrastructure, the demand for graphite in battery production is expected to rise significantly. Additionally, these countries' automotive and industrial sectors are propelling the use of graphite in lubricants, refractories, and friction products owing to its thermal conductivity, durability, and low friction properties, respectively.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the graphite market analysis are type, form, and application.
Graphite also plays a crucial role in other industries, such as steel manufacturing, aerospace, and electronics. Its versatility is driving demand in high-performance composite materials, fuel cells, and electrodes. Moreover, its use in brake linings, clutch facings, and other friction products continues to grow as automotive production expands in the BRICS nations. The BRICS graphite market is poised for significant expansion in the near future with the global push for sustainable energy solutions and green technologies.
Based on country, the BRICS graphite market is further segmented into Russia, Brazil, South Africa, India, and China. 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. This dominant position is attributed to its vast graphite reserves, concentrated mainly in Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Shandong provinces. The country's graphite industry is driven by strong demand from the steel, automotive, and renewable energy sectors, which rely heavily on graphite-based products such as electrodes, refractories, and lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, the Chinese government's ambitious plans to promote clean energy and reduce carbon emissions have further boosted the demand for graphite. As the global graphite market continues to evolve, China is expected to reinforce its position as the leading graphite producer in the future.
