The properties of graphene such as high thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, elasticity, flexibility, transparency, resistance, and others broadens its scope of application in many industries. Graphene is widely used in electronics, energy storage, paints and coatings, composites and other application. Graphene is also used to enhance the performance efficiency of solar energy by adding it to solar panels. Graphene is a highly useful material without similar substitutes in the market, further leading to the consistent demand for the material over the future.
Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Graphene is a material composed of pure carbon, identical to graphite but with characteristics that make it incredibly light and strong. Its wide range of applications includes aerospace, automotive, coatings, additive manufacture, composites, concrete & cement, conductive ink, electrochemical, electronics, energy generation, energy storage, lubricants, magnets, and medical. Graphene is used to produce lighter and impact-resistant aircraft & helicopter structures. Due to the high electrical conductivity of graphene, it is possible to create deicing systems integrated into the wings. Further, graphene is used to manufacture building materials, such as paints and coatings. Due to its superior electrical and thermal conductivity, graphene can help produce various conductive paints. Moreover, 2D graphene materials with an sp2 carbon atom structure possess exceptional electrical conductivity and can be used in light and electric energy storage and conversion applications. Further, numerous graphene applications in biomedicine are categorized into several major areas, such as transport (delivery) systems, sensors, tissue engineering, and biological agents.
Graphene can be used in myriad applications in the automotive industry, including composite structural components, automotive batteries, and tires. The high conductivity and visual transparency of graphene make it a valuable material in several user interfaces, which generally consist of touchscreens and liquid-crystal displays. These interfaces are increasingly showing up in the dashboards of new vehicles. Furthermore, graphene can provide additional functionality to tires, such as sensors for autonomous vehicles. The sensors can offer data about driving conditions through their contact with the road, enabling safer and more efficient vehicle control. Moreover, the government's support for developing a metal-free dashboard, improving automotive functionality, reducing production costs for manufacturers, and decreasing fuel consumption for end-users is anticipated to drive the demand for graphene in the automotive industry during the forecast period. For instance, G+BOARD is a newly launched Spearhead Project by the Graphene Flagship, which aims to include a unique graphene-based dashboard. The dashboard will feature conductive patterns, sensors, and devices based on multifunctional graphene or reduced graphene oxide. The project will replace the copper wiring and buttons presently used in car dashboards, reducing the number of production steps and vehicle weight while enhancing aesthetics and recyclability. Therefore, the wide application scope of graphene and the rising government support are driving the global graphene market during the forecast period.
Graphene is durable, lightweight, and has excellent electric & thermal conductivity. Due to its unique properties, the application of graphene is rapidly growing in various industries, such as electronics, optometry, airplane designing. However, increased graphene usage is severely impacting humans and the environment. Microparticles of graphene can lead to severe respiratory problems, such as lung cancer. Further, as per research by the University of California Riverside laboratory, there are differences in movement and stability of graphene nanoparticles when they are in groundwater and surface water. According to the study, graphene particles become less stable in groundwater. Groundwater generally has more hardness and less natural organic matter in it. It may cause the graphene nanoplatelets to settle or get removed entirely. Thus, the adverse effects of graphene on humans and the environment is hindering the graphene market growth during the forecast period.

Covid-19 Impact:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected almost all industries in various countries. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), South & Central America (SAM), and the Middle East & Africa (MEA) hampered the growth of several industries, including the chemicals and materials industry. The shutdown of manufacturing units disturbed global supply chains, manufacturing activities, delivery schedules, and essential and nonessential product sales. Various companies witnessed delays in product deliveries and a slump in sales of their products in 2020. Due to the pandemic-induced economic recession, consumers became more cautious and selective in their purchasing decisions. Non-essential purchases were significantly reduced by consumers due to lower incomes and uncertain earning prospects, especially in developing regions. Many manufacturers of graphene faced decline in profits due to reduced demand during the initial phase of pandemic. However, by the end of 2021, many countries were fully vaccinated, and governments announced relaxation in certain regulations including lockdowns and travel bans. Moreover, graphene and graphene-related materials (GRMs) for healthcare applications are among the fastest-growing fields of science and technology, hence its demand surged. This factors had a positive impact in the growth of graphene market across different regions.
