Synthetic Graphite is a man-made substance manufactured by the high temperature processing of amorphous carbon materials. The types of amorphous carbon used as precursors to graphite are many, and can be derived from petroleum, coal, or natural and synthetic organic materials. In some cases graphite can even be manufactured by the direct precipitation of graphitic carbon from pyrolysis of a carbonaceous gas such as acetylene (pyrolytic graphite).
One important commonality between all graphite precursors is that they must contain carbon. Graphite is carbon, a specific form of carbon, so it can only be derived from other carbon containing substances.
In 2023, the Global Synthetic Graphite Materials market size was valued at 8871.19 Million USD, increased from 7769.19 Million USD in 2019, and the market is forecasted to reach 19116.96 Million USD by 2030, growing at CAGR of 8.84% between 2024 and 2030.
