The estimation of the current size of the graphite market involved a four-step methodology. Initially, secondary research included all pertinent information about the market itself, as well as related and parent markets. These results, along with assumptions and metrics, were validated with primary research that involved experts from both the supply and demand sides of the graphite value chain. Total market size was determined through a top-down and bottom-up approach. Finally, the market sizes for various segments and subsegments were found using comprehensive market segmentation and data triangulation techniques.
Secondary Research
The research methodology followed in estimating the current graphite market size consisted of four significant activities. Extensive secondary research was conducted to provide information on the market, peer markets, and parent markets. These findings, assumptions, and metrics were validated through primary research undertaken with experts from the demand side of the graphite value chain. Both top-down as well as bottom-up approaches were followed for the estimation of the total market size. The complete market segmentation and data triangulation techniques had been applied for the final estimation of various segments and subsegments.

Market Definition
Graphite is a semimetal and possesses good electrical conducting properties. It is a form of crystalline carbon, in which carbon atoms are densely arranged in parallel-stacked, planar honeycomb lattice sheets. The demand for graphite is directly dependent on the growth of its application industries, including, electric vehicles, energy storage devices, refractory, foundry, battery, friction product, and lubricants Graphite is used across various end-use industries, such as aerospace & defense, steel, and automotive since it is lightweight and has excellent strength. Graphite-based composites are used in the manufacturing of automotive parts, such as exterior body parts, hoods, bonnets, test plates, suspension struts, and chassis, among others. There has been a growing demand for graphite particularly in battery technologies in electric vehicles
