The global Graphene Market is projected to reach USD 529.8 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing electronics industry, especially in the emerging Asia Pacific region is projected to drive the market over the forecast period. In terms of product, graphene nanoplatelets dominated the market in 2015. These products are mainly used in electronic devices. They are abundantly available and low priced. Hence, they are commonly used by small-scale producers, due to cost sensitivity of customers.
Electronics was the most popular application area of graphene. Rising demand for consumer electronics including smartphones and tablets is expected to be the biggest industry driver in this segment. Rising per capita income of developing countries such as India and China has resulted in high demand for consumer electronics and luxury vehicles, which is expected to provide the impetus for industry growth.
