On May 03, the general power graphite electrode quotations generally rose by about 2000 yuan / ton. On May 02, the average price of graphite electrodes was 28,152 yuan per ton, up 10.82% per week and 56.55% per month, nearly double the rate at the beginning of 2017. Graphite electrode resources are still in a state of tension, and the market performance is in short supply. The industry said that recently, the state strikes more and more stringent on the medium frequency furnace, some of the medium frequency furnace began to convert to electric furnace, will drive the demand for graphite electrode increased. The price of graphite electrodes has skyrocketed, and the profits of related companies are expected to soar.
2017 is a year of rapid development of graphene industrialization in the world. With the rapid development of graphene industry, China’s graphene industry has taken the lead in the world. Listed companies have shown outstanding performances, new cooperative initiatives have taken shape, and the pattern of carbon electrode crushing industry has begun to take shape. Policy guidance and systematic planning have been accelerated obviously. Industry-university-research cooperation has penetrated the industrial chain and the brand competition pattern is about to take shape. In particular, the formal establishment of the leading group of the national new material industry will undoubtedly be a milestone in promoting the development of the new material industry. Graphene, as the forerunner of new material industry, plays an increasingly significant role in driving the transformation and upgrading of traditional manufacturing industry, cultivating new industrial growth points, promoting public innovation and entrepreneurship.
The Global Graphene Industry Research Report 2017 not only predicts that the global graphene application market will grow to 100 billion yuan by 2020, but also China will dominate the global graphene market. The application of graphene in the fields of new energy, composite materials, electronic information, thermal management, biomedicine, energy saving and environmental protection were analyzed and predicted in detail. The report also warns graphene market risks and provides support and basis for graphene manufacturers, circulation enterprises and retailers to conduct competitive analysis, development planning and investment decisions.
