Due to the chemical properties and honeycomb structure of graphite, there is a considerably low risk of water evaporation at the surface and formation of water spots. This is an important factor that is expected to have a strong impact on the demand for graphite coatings in manufacturing industries.
Graphite coatings offer sufficient resistance at high temperatures and in highly corrosive environments. Moreover, utilization of graphite coatings also addresses heat loss challenges in machinery.
These coatings are also being consumed for lubrication purposes in metal, plastics, or rubber parts without using grease, and this increases the lifespan of machinery.
Various end-use industries such as automotive industries, energy, and others have numerous applications of graphite coatings, because of their thermal and electrical conductivity properties.
Additionally, graphite coatings are progressively being utilized in a variety of applications such as injection moulding, metal powder sintering, brazing, metal coating, welding, and others.
With an absolute dollar opportunity of around US$ 20 Mn, North America is expected to be one of the most lucrative markets for graphite coating manufacturers. North America, specifically the U.S., accounted for the highest demand for graphite coatings due to the presence of a large number of automobile companies, industrial plants, and manufacturing units.
In addition, demand for ceramic coatings in the U.S. has seen momentous growth during the historical period. Graphite coatings are most likely to supplement ceramic coatings over the coming years due to their rising consumption in different end-use industries such as automotive, metal coatings & others.
Improved functional parameters of graphite coatings and increasing consumers complaints related to water spots linked with ceramic coatings have played an imperative role in surging market growth.

The U.S. remains the foremost contributor to the growth of graphite coating sales. Demand for graphite coatings in the U.S. is anticipated to witness 5.7% CAGR through 2031. The U.S has the presence of prominent automobile companies, which creates plentiful opportunity for graphite coating manufacturers.
Corrosion is the key factor that generates demand for graphite coatings in automobile industries. Addressing this challenge is the need of the hour, since graphite coatings are most likely to repel water droplets due to their structure.
China’s automotive market is also a lucrative avenue for manufactures in Asia Pacific, since the government has expected automobile output to reach 30 Mn units by 2021 and 35 Mn units by the end of 2025. This will lead to abundant opportunities to manufacturers of graphite coatings.
China is a prominent automobile market not only in Asia Pacific but also in the world. The Chinese government is continuously focusing on expanding its automotive market through incentives since the past few years. The country is likely to provide a promising stance to manufactures to invest in the next couple of years.
In addition to this, rising trend of smartphones, LED TVs, and larger displays will lead more consumption of graphite coatings over the coming years.
Germany: The country is gradually adopting electric vehicles through its policies to reduce dependency on fuel. This not only paves the way for automobile market growth in the country but also clears the path for the graphite coatings business.
Japan: Japan is one of the key exporters of automotive. Key manufacturers in such as Nissan, Toyota, and others have adopted graphite coatings that ensure surface protection. Over the long-run, it is estimated that graphite coating demand will increase at a rapid pace even from other industries such as fasteners and industrial.
Energy, automotive, and electrical & electronics collectively account for prominent demand for graphite coatings. These segments collectively account for more than 45% of consumption of graphite coatings across the globe.
Graphite coatings are progressively being utilized in a variety of applications, including metal powder sintering, injection moulding, and metal casting, brazing, and welding in automotive industries. Moreover increasing consumption of lithium-ion batteries is anticipated to surge demand for these coatings.
The automotive industry has been a key contributor to growing demand for graphite coatings. This industry has witnessed noteworthy share of 34% in the past few years, since a lot of material handling operations and materials utilization is associated with automobile industries. As such, there will be always high demand for coatings from manufacturing industries for preventing metal bodies from rust and corrosion.
Natural disasters and pandemics such as COVID-19 are unforeseen, and have affected all economies across the globe. Demand constrained by 8-9% in Q2 and Q3 of 2020.
COVID-19 also resulted in impacting demand for graphite coatings, backed by the imposition of lockdowns and demand drop from automotive industries, display manufacturers and solar cell producers which happen to be the prime consumers of graphite coatings.
Moreover, decreased demand and fluctuating industrial output have negatively impacted the market, which is extremely fragmented in nature. In addition to this, industrial demand will rekindle its previous size by the third quarter of 2021, and so it will surge the demand of graphite coatings during the forecast period.
Although, the automotive sector is more likely to provide a lot of prospects to key players in the global graphite coatings market, the aerospace industry is also set to create the demand from end-use industry by 2023.
