ResearchAndMarkets says lower production costs, electrification and AI data center cooling needs are broadening graphene use, while a wider advanced carbon materials outlook tracks 16 categories across pricing, regulation and supply chains.
ResearchAndMarkets.com says global graphene demand, estimated at several thousand tonnes in the mid-2020s, could rise by more than tenfold over the next decade as lower production costs widen commercial use in batteries, coatings, construction, composites and thermal management. The company also published a broader 2027-2037 advanced carbon materials outlook covering 16 categories, arguing that investment in electric vehicles, renewable energy, aerospace, defense, space technologies, AI infrastructure and advanced electronics is accelerating adoption across graphite, carbon fibre, carbon nanotubes, biochar, CO2-derived materials and graphene. Both reports highlight supportive policy and industrial investment, but warn that quality variability, commodity-grade overcapacity, pricing pressure, competing materials and long qualification cycles remain constraints.
