GlobalData's " Global Graphite Mining to 2030 (2025 Update)" provides a comprehensive coverage on the global graphite industry. It provides historical and forecast data on graphite production by country, production by company, reserves by country and world graphite prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the global graphite industry. It further profiles major graphite producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects by region.
After an estimated 1.3% growth in 2024, global natural graphite production is expected to increase by a substantial 18.1% to 1,830.4 thousand tonnes (kt) in 2025. Mozambique will be the key contributor, whose output is expected to increase by nearly seven-fold to 247.5kt up from just 36.4kt. - accounting for nearly 13.5% of the global total. This will be primarily due to the planned start of the Balama Graphite Restart Project and Nipepe Graphite Project in 2025. Similarly, natural graphite production from Tanzania, Canada and Madagascar are expected to contribute to the growth in 2025, with combined output increasing from 91.7kt in 2024 to an estimated 130.6kt in 2025.
Looking ahead, the global natural graphite production is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period (2025-2030) at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6% to 3,780.5kt by 2030, mainly due to scheduled commencement of new projects in Mozambique, Tanzania, China, Canada and Australia. Key projects include Mozambique's Balama Graphite Restart Project and Nipepe Graphite Project in 2025, Madagascar's Molo Graphite Project Phase 1 (2025), China's Yunshan Graphite Mine (2026), Tanzania's Epanko Graphite Project (2026) and Madagascar's Maniry Project (2026).
