Global market value of graphene 2019-2025

The global market value of graphene is expected to reach 1.48 billion U.S. dollars in 2025, which will be a considerable increase of around 860 million U.S. dollars from the market value that was recorded in 2020.

The material of the future

The significant increase in the market value of graphene can be attributed to the fact that there is a greater understanding of the material and its wide variety of potential uses. Research into the material has so far been conducted on a relatively small scale and so the full scope of graphene’s possibilities remains to be seen. Nevertheless, graphene is poised to revolutionize industries around the world and the global market value of graphene-based products is projected to stand at 2.1 billion U.S. dollars in 2025.

What is graphene?

Graphene was first isolated in 2004 by two researchers at The University of Manchester: Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. The material has a special set of properties that make it stand out from other carbon forms such as diamond and graphite. Graphene’s two-dimensional, one-atom-thick structure means it is light and thin, yet very strong due to its hexagonal lattice of densely packed carbon atoms. Furthermore, by combining graphene with other materials such as plastics, unique composite materials could also be made.
