China's graphene industry status analysis to promote the process of industrialization

The biggest bottleneck of the graphene industry is that it has not yet formed a complete industrial chain. At present, there is still no product that can use graphene to scale production. The greatest demand for graphene is still used by universities and research institutes.

Graphene takes 5-10 years from R&D to application in the domestic market, and will take longer for mature industries. At present, there is no domestic listed company's main business to produce graphene. Only a few companies that produce carbon fiber products are developing graphene products. Currently, there is no large-scale production capacity.

At present, the global graphene production capacity has reached 100 tons, and the industry expects the graphene production capacity will reach 1,000 tons in the next five to ten years. According to the “Graphene Industry In-Depth Market Research and Investment Analysis Report” published by the Industry Research Institute, the graphene production enterprises in China have grown from more than 300 in 2015 to more than 400 in 2016, and the graphene industry has grown from 2015 to 2015. The 16.3 million U.S. dollars in the year increased to 38.42 million U.S. dollars in 2016, and the process of industrialization continues to advance.

With the resolution of graphene mass production and the expansion of graphene downstream, analysts at Prospect Industry Research Institute predict that the market size of graphene in China will reach 200 million U.S. dollars by 2020, accounting for more than half of the world market and becoming the world’s largest graphene consumer country. .

With the gradual clear direction of industrialization of graphene, graphene has become one of the key development industries in the future. The speed and coverage of policy advancement have continued to increase, attracting a large amount of industrial capital to continue to invest in related research and commercialization of graphene. In the world, the European theory of partiality, the United States and South Korea have many original applications, the industrial base is good; China's industrialization is the largest, and the effect of industrial clusters is significant.

At present, China's graphene industry already has more than 50 manufacturing and related application development companies. At present, market competition is mainly concentrated on graphene scale production technology and docking with downstream commercial applications. After the initial accumulation, domestic large-scale graphene companies (above 50 tons of graphene powder annually) have already mastered the internationally mainstream preparation methods for graphene, and most of the indicators are sufficient for low-end applications. In addition, a small number of companies already have the advantage of large-scale production, and capacity expansion is also underway.
