Semiconductor graphite is a high-purity, engineered form of graphite designed for use in the semiconductor industry. It offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, making it ideal for applications such as semiconductor device manufacturing, processing, and packaging.
The primary types of semiconductor graphite include naturally occurring graphite, artificial graphite, expandable graphite, and graphite nanofibers. Naturally occurring graphite is a crystalline carbon material found in metamorphic and igneous rocks, recognized for its stability, metallic sheen, and lubricative properties. Semiconductor graphite is used in a range of applications, including thermal management, battery electrodes, conductive coatings, lubricants, and semiconductor components. It is distributed through various channels such as direct sales, distributors, online retailers, and specialized dealers, and serves end-use industries including consumer electronics, automotive, aerospace and defense, energy storage, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs on semiconductor graphite have impacted global supply chains, increasing costs and creating delays for naturally occurring graphite, artificial graphite, expandable graphite, and graphite nanofibers. The semiconductor, automotive, and aerospace industries, particularly in Asia-Pacific and North America, are most affected. However, these tariffs have encouraged local production, diversification of suppliers, and innovation in high-purity graphite solutions for semiconductor applications.

The semiconductor graphite market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.8 billion in 2025 to $1.94 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in semiconductor manufacturing, early adoption in consumer electronics thermal management, use in synthetic graphite electrodes, demand from aerospace and defense electronics, expansion in automotive electronics and batteries.
The semiconductor graphite market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption in energy storage batteries, increasing use in thermal management for advanced electronics, growth in automotive semiconductor applications, expansion in aerospace and defense devices, technological advancement in conductive coatings and nanofibers. Major trends in the forecast period include high purity graphite for semiconductor applications, excellent thermal conductivity, good electrical conductivity, use in semiconductor device manufacturing, application in battery electrodes and thermal management.
The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is anticipated to drive the expansion of the semiconductor graphite market in the coming years. EVs are vehicles that run wholly or partly on electricity instead of conventional internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels like petrol or diesel. This growing shift toward electric vehicles is largely influenced by heightened environmental awareness, as both consumers and governments aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution by transitioning away from fossil fuel-powered transportation. Semiconductor graphite plays a critical role in EVs by offering high-purity, thermally conductive, and structurally stable materials necessary for optimal battery function and effective thermal management. For example, according to the International Energy Agency, an intergovernmental organization based in France, nearly 14 million new electric cars were registered globally in 2023, raising the total number of electric cars on the road to 40 million. This figure represents an increase of 3.5 million units compared to 2022, equating to a notable 35% year-over-year growth. As a result, the expanding use of electric vehicles is contributing significantly to the growth of the semiconductor graphite market.
Key players in the semiconductor graphite market are prioritizing the development of high-purity synthetic graphite to support advanced electronics and electric vehicle technologies. This form of synthetic graphite, characterized by over 99.9% carbon content and very low impurities, improves thermal and electrical performance as well as structural stability in semiconductors and EV batteries, promoting efficient and dependable operation. For instance, in July 2023, Mersen, an advanced materials company based in France, inaugurated its extensively upgraded manufacturing facility in Columbia, Tennessee. This facility is focused on producing synthetic graphite and insulation felt, which are essential for electric vehicles, semiconductors, and solar energy systems. The project involved a $70 million renovation, with an additional $25 to $30 million investment planned within the same year, aiming to significantly enhance Mersen's production capabilities to accommodate the rising demand from global clean energy initiatives. The plant's current annual output includes 2,000 tons of isostatic graphite and 4,000 tons of extruded graphite, with plans to double isostatic graphite output to 4,000 tons by the end of 2024.
In July 2024, Mersen, a materials company headquartered in France, acquired Graphite Machining, Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to bolster Mersen's machining capabilities for isostatic and extruded graphite, as well as insulation materials, in the United States, thereby reinforcing its presence in core sectors such as aerospace, process industries, and energy. Graphite Machining, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in semiconductor graphite.
