Application Insights
Electronics industry dominated the application segment in the year 2015. The product is broadly used in this industry owing to its high strength and conduction property. Graphene is also used in making laptop circuit boards and personal computers apart from touch screens for mobile phones and tablets. It can also be used as a semiconductor on account of its low thickness. The growing demand from Asia Pacific region is driving the electronics industry. Although, increasing markets for tablets, smart phones, HD TVs are further presumed to fuel the global electronics industry.
In terms of revenue, composite was estimated as the second largest application accounting for 36% in 2016. These composites have the ability to enhance the conductivity and strength of bulk materials. Composites have applications in numerous industries which consist of engineering materials, aerospace and medical implants. The product is also used widely in applications in sports including F1 racing and lawn tennis.
Product Insights
Nanoplatelets was the largest segment of all products and accounted for over 50% in the year 2015. Nanoplatelets are small stacks of graphene, with thickness varying from 1 to 15 nanometers. By adding small proportions of nanoplatelets, polymers such as plastic or rubber can be made conductive. These platelets can be used as electrical and thermal conductors in numerous applications owing to the high barrier and mechanical properties including stiffness and surface hardness.
The product is sold in powdered form or as a coating on a substrate. This coating can make the substrate conductive, which makes the product a vital material for manufacturing transparent conductive films. Moreover, the product can also be utilized in medical applications and disease detection.
